Carpio, one of the convenors of opposition coalition 1Sambayan, noted that Duterte’s trolls were stopping their nominees from announcing their bid for political positions.
He said this after he was asked about the status of the coalition’s nomination and vetting process for presidential and vice-presidential bids.
“The situation is fluid because you know these candidates are afraid. If they come out now, the trolls of Duterte will pound on them, so they will probably make their decision sometime in September or late September just before the filing of the Certificates of Candidacy (COCs),” Carpio said during 1Sambayan’s virtual presser on Thursday, July 15.
