Muling magkakaroon ng “Pilipinas Debates” para sa darating na 2022 elections, sabi ng Commission on Elections (Comelec).
Ayon kay Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez, mangyayari pa rin ang dating debate ng mga aspiring candidates.
Ang Pilipinas Debate ay unang isinagawa noong May 2016 election kung saan tumakbo bilang presidente si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
Ito ay tinawag na “PilipinasDebates2016.”
“Are we going to have Pilipinas debates? Hell yeah, we will. It will happen.” sinabi ni Jimenez sa isang forum.
Ayon pa kay Jimenez, ginagawa na nila ang pag-aayos nito ngayon upang magkaroon ng isang disenyo para sa mga bagong PIlipinas debate.
“We want to make these debates a part of the fabric of Philippine elections that can successfully penetrate the political consciousness of many Filipinos for it is high time that our politics to veer away from popularity and personalities and move towards policy pronouncements, platforms, and performance,” ayon naman kay Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista.
