Former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said the opposition must carefully time its strategy and candidate selection ahead of the next presidential election.
He linked political decisions to developments involving Vice President Sara Duterte.
Key points:
- Duterte’s ratings previously dropped to the 20% range during impeachment
- New disclosures may further affect public support
- Leni Robredo seen as preferred candidate
- Robredo described as a reluctant contender
- Decision timing should follow Senate impeachment stage
- Opposition must prioritize a competitive candidate, not just popularity
Carpio stressed that surveys are useful but should not be the sole basis for choosing a candidate.
