Presidential candidate and Vice President Leni Robredo is challenging Bongbong Marcos for a debate as she turned down the offer of the Commisison on Elections for a panel interview next week.
Robredo made the call as she pointed out that Marcos is the only presidential candidate to not participate in a debate attended by all the other candidates.

“Sa puntong ito, isang kandidato na lang ang hindi pa humaharap sa taumbayan sa isang debate kasama ang lahat ng ibang kandidato. Mahalaga sana ito para masuri kami ng publiko, at para marinig nila at mapagkumpara ang vision at pagkatao namin,” Robredo said.
“Inaanyayahan ko si Ginoong Bongbong Marcos na makipagdebate, para mabigyan ang taumbayan ng pagkakataong makaharap siya at matanong tungkol sa mga kontrobersiyang pumapalibot sa kanya,” she added.
Robredo said that both she and Marcos owe it to the people and the country.

“We owe it to the people and to our country. Kung papayag po kayo, anytime, anywhere, darating ako,” she said.
Marcos is a frequent debate skipper except for the debate organized by SMNI which is owned by FBI most wanted Apollo Quiboloy.
