The challenge came after the Commission on elections (COMELEC) rejected the request of Otso Direto’s appeal for a COMELEC sponsored debate.
The opposition senatorial bets have been very much adamant
in challenging the administration bets saying, “would benefit the voting
public, who has all the right to know the platforms and positions on various
issues” of Otso Diretso and Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP).
No senatorial debate- COMELEC
There will be no debate between hungpong ng Pagbabago and
the Otso Diretso senatorial candidates, the COMELEC said.
“The Commission en banc has deliberated on the request and
the request will be denied,” Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said in a
prepared statement.
Jimenez said that COMELEC cannot hold such n activity for
the sake of only two parties.
“Granting Otso Diretso’s request would be tantamount to
giving preferential treatment to some senatorial candidates or slates,” Jimenez
added.
There is a difficulty to conduct a debate since there are
60 senatorial candidates.
“There are considerable time constraints, with only about
two months remaining (before the mid-term polls),” he said.
