President Duterte has been on the offensive on certain politicians — first it was Senator Manny Pacquiao, and more recently, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno.

One common denominator, of course, is this — both Pacquiao and Moreno are — or perhaps, “were” — allies of this administration perhaps, even considered as “enablers” of Duterte.

The other commonality — both of them are seen as serious threats to Duterte’s president candidate or candidates in the 2022 elections.

In the meantime, efforts are underway to unite the political opposition under a single presidential candidate. 

But who will that be?

How do you unite opposition forces and figures with separate plans and ambitions beyond 2022?

Who, by the way, is the opposition?
