The concluding event of the PiliPinas Debates 2022 Series will no longer be Vice-Presidential and Presidential Town Hall Debates.
The Commission on Elections on Monday, April 25, announced that it will now be adopting a single candidate/team – panel interview format.
The poll body said this is in consideration of the inevitable scheduling conflicts as the candidates approach the homestretch of the campaign period, and as advised by their partner, the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas. Poll Commissioner George Garcia said the “Comelec- KBP Pilipinas Forum 2022” will now be held from May 2 to 6.“If they want virtual or face to face we will adjust,” added Garcia.
He said the forum will be pre taped and that the Comelec will have the final say in everything including editing.
