Presidential candidate and senator Manny Pacquiao has challenged survey frontrunner Bongbong Marcos for a one-on-one debate.
Marcos is consistent in skipping several debates organized by television networks and even by the Commission on Elections.
“Baka nahihiya siya sa maraming aattend. Okay sa akin magdebate kaming dalawa lang,” Pacquaio said when asked about his thoughts on the absence of Marcos.

“Tingnan natin kung ano ang plataporma niya, kung ano ang plataporma ko.” he added.
Pacquiao said that the public wants to know if Marcos has better platforms than any other candidates.
“Baka may mabuti nga siyang plataporma na higit pa doon sa pagbibigay ng trabaho, pagbibigayng tahanan na libre sa mga pamilya, pagbibigay ng hanapbuhay, pagpapalakas ng ekonomya,” Pacquiao said.

The Marcos camp already said that the late dictator’s son prefers one-on-one interviews and present his plans directly to the people instead of joining debates.
So far, Marcos has only attended the debate organized by SMNI, a network owned by FBI most wanted Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
