Senator and presidential aspirant Manny Pacquiao has called out the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to give all candidates more time to express their platforms in the concluding event of its PiliPinas Debates.
Since the 90-day official presidential campaign period kicked off in February, Filipinos have been treated to a series of presidential “debates.” These are but media forums, rather than “debates,” strictly speaking, for a “debate,” as we know it, is a formal public discussion in which two opposing sides argue against each other the validity or invalidity of a particular proposition.
