Grace Poe, and former senator Antonio Trillanes IV. The group is also considering Senator Nancy Binay as its possible presidential nominee. Calleja said they already have 40 member coalitions and organizations within their group and is still growing, with up to 4 million members. 1Sambayan launched in March led by key political figures and former senior government officials, including former Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales, former Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, and former foreign affairs chief Albert del Rosario. <div> </div>
