@jnery_newsstand For @maritesdvitug, apart from the absence of Marcos Jr., it's his camp's deliberate tactic to evade interviews. She also points out how Pacquiao, Moreno used their life stories as anchor of their platforms. #PHVote #WeDecide

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @maritesdvitug .@indayevarona is impressed at Leody de Guzman, a Leftist candidate, being listened to in equal footing with other candidates. #PHVote #WeDecide

@jnery_newsstand @maritesdvitug @indayevarona .@sofiatomacruz: The pandemic isn't going away anytime soon...it struck me that we didn't really talk about exactly how presidential aspirants will pull us out of this crisis. #PHVote #WeDecide

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @maritesdvitug @indayevarona @sofiatomacruz .@jcpunongbayan: Marami tayong narinig na policies about the economy, but only a little about how these will be funded. #PHVote #WeDecide

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @maritesdvitug @indayevarona @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan .@jairojourno: It's important [to see Leody in platforms like this] kasi ito yung first time na maririnig ng mga kalaban niya ang kanyang mga platform.... On point ang mga sagot niya, nag-prepare siya. #PHVote #WeDecide

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @maritesdvitug @indayevarona @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jairojourno .@lianbuan: Was Leody able to explain how he will implement his progressive programs?

.@jairojourno: Lagi kong napapansin na trend from Leody, 'yung how-to's laging fina-follow up sa kanya.... As a reporter covering him hindi pa malinaw sa 'kin paano sila iro-roll out.

@jnery_newsstand @maritesdvitug @indayevarona @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jairojourno @lianbuan .@jairojourno: For wealth tax, he mentioned the people's initiative.... Meron namang concrete plan, pero alam niya sa sarili niya na mahihirapan siya, lalo na hindi maipapadali ng Congress na maipasa ito. #PHVote #WeDecide

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @maritesdvitug @indayevarona @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jairojourno @lianbuan .@indayevarona shares her experience organizing a people's initiative: It's very hard in a country where we know that elite politicians lord over districts. Ang maganda diyan, if you do succeed...hindi 'yan basta-basta mababalik ng Kongreso.

@jnery_newsstand @maritesdvitug @indayevarona @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jairojourno @lianbuan .@jnery_newsstand criticized the all-male panel in the KBP Presidential Forum and the KBP provincial representatives are all men. He said that they can do better in this.

@jnery_newsstand @maritesdvitug @indayevarona @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jairojourno @lianbuan .@jnery_newsstand: I think the organizers of any forum should penalize presidential candidates who do not show up...like an empty chair.

It's disappointing in our society, but [VP Leni] and her team could have avoided. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @russellchengku

.@jnery_newsstand noted details in the background of the candidates during the forum such as Ping Lacson's use of a flag beside him, Isko Moreno wearing a barong, and Manny Pacquiao with boxing symbols. #PHVote | via @russellchengku

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @russellchengku .@jnery_newsstand: I was really touched by the setting of Ka Leody – very simple, plain white background... #PHVote #WeDecide | via @russellchengku

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @russellchengku .@jnery_newsstand on why we should focus on candidates' settings in the forum: While it's important to zero in on the text of what they said, it's important to come to terms with the context. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @russellchengku

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @russellchengku .@piaranada on Isko Moreno's performance: I think he did well in looking put together. He was controlled [and] calm... He rarely went past the time limit. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @russellchengku

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @russellchengku @piaranada .@piaranada said that Isko would start with general principle and knowledge of his platforms and go down to the nitty-gritty: He needed to capture the attention of people who might not care so much about policies. | via @russellchengku

@jnery_newsstand @russellchengku @piaranada .@piaranada: I think there are some times when candidates get lost in the details and use words that average voters won't understand. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @russellchengku

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @russellchengku @piaranada .@reyaika: Medyo overwhelming na nilabas [ni Pacquiao] ang 22-point agenda nila.... For the rest of the forum, he's trying very hard to stick sa lagi niyang sinasabi, but when it comes to the details, doon na siya nalo-lost.

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @russellchengku @piaranada @reyaika .@jcpunongbayan: Non-tax revenues only constitutes 10% of total revenues; karamihan talaga ay tax revenues. One way to boost revenues is pasiglahin talaga ang ekonomiya. #PHVote #WeDecide

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @russellchengku @piaranada @reyaika @jcpunongbayan .@jnery_newsstand: That's the problem with Philippine politics. They can get away with it – Ping Lacson, going into hiding; Isko Moreno, keeping campaign funds; Manny Pacquaio, giving money. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @bnzmagsambol

LIVE #InTheRunning:

@jnery_newsstand @russellchengku @piaranada @reyaika @jcpunongbayan @bnzmagsambol .@reyaika: Hindi siya nagpapalit ng sagot. Sinasabi niya na he's beeing giving money since 2002. Lagi niya sinasabi na wala siyang nilalabag sa na batas. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @bnzmagsambol
