Presidential aspirant Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is trending on Twitter again after he declined to join a presidential forum organized by the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP).
The KBP forum will gather all leading presidential aspirants on Friday at 9 a.m. which will be shown to all KBP-affiliated organizations.
KBP President Herman Basbaño told TeleRadyo that all the leading candidates agreed to join the forum except for Marcos.
“May letter naman sila declining the invitation. May conflicts sa schedules nila,” Basbaño said.
He clarified that the forum will not be a debate. It will be moderated by veteran journalists Karen Davila of ABS-CBN and Rico Hizon of CNN Philippines.
Panelists are Ed Lingao (News 5), Roby Alampay (One News), Elmar Acol (Bombo Radyo), and Dan Andrew Cura (FEBC).
KBP said that they have sent out invitations since December.
This is not the first time Marcos trended after declining to appear in the “Jessica Soho Presidential Interviews” of GMA News and Public Affairs.
