So, what's this news about the cancellation of the Presidential debate among the presidentiables this coming Sunday at ABS-CBN?
Everybody backed-out and they kept all Filipino people hanging for no reason at all. It should have been a place where all Filipinos could see, hear and balance each and every presidential candidates at their fingertips.
How come most of them said no to the debate? Are they afraid of the real time audience survey or are they scared of their foes? What can you say about this?

Since these politicians always attend to alot of meetings, maybe because its just a matter of time before its election already thats why are choose to go to places and campaign instead of joining those kinds o debates.Specially those who are not being fovoured from the surveys they might feel they wont fair good even if they will attend such debates

You are right that they have a tight schedule and all, especially now that the election is nearing, but a televised debate is just the thing they need to get their platforms and their stand at certain issues be heard across the most of the voting population.
That is their chance to really show what will they do if ever elected to the highest government position in the Philippines.
A televised debate will be fair to everyone of them. The debate will not air their commercials and their propaganda, instead, they will tell us their answers on relevant issues that needs answering.

I am so frustrated about this thing. I think they are all afraid
to have a debate that's why they all back out, maybe they all agreed not to
show because all of them are afraid.LOL! I challenge them all to arrange their schedule so they can take part for this debate if it's true that they are not coward!

I don't think they will ever join a televised debate anymore. What they don't like is the actual text-in survey of all tele-viewers about their answers. This really sucks.
