NAMFREL National Council Member Fernando Contreras Jr. says NAMFREL wants to help ensure elections remain free, fair, and clean
NAMFREL says they continue to provide voter's education
On importance of debates, NAMFREL says debates are part of the election process even if it is not in the law: Para sa kandidato, oportunidad ito...
NAMFREL says debates allow the public to see a candidate's raw emotions: Ang mga tumatakbo sa matataas na posisyon...malalagay sila -- kahit hindi nila gusto -- sa ganitong psisiyon na hindi lahat ng katapat nila sumasang-ayon sa pananaw nila
NAMFREL on debates: Dito maaaring mapakita nila paano magreact ang isang leader
NAMFREL National Council Member Contreras Jr. says he hopes candidates continue to attend debates
NAMFREL: Iba yung natural na reaksyon, yung at the moment sasagot ka
NAMFREL: Yung posisyon na pinagdedebatehan, presidente at bise presidente. Maraming pagkakataon na mauupo sila sa sitwasyon na ganito, kung medyo naaalangan na sila sa ganitong sitwasyon, sayang... Hindi naman pwede magtago ang pangulo at pangalawang pangulo
NAMFREL says proper discernment can help guide a person's vote
