Following Jose Montemayor's vaccine misinfo in last night's debate, Moreno's VP bet Doc Willie Ong says he would just expect moderators to more actively fact-check. Ong promotes vaccination. He doesn't comment on Mocha Uson's support for Moreno @rapplerdotcom
Comelec Spokesperson James Jimenez said they have done a debrief after last nigh's debate and is looking into how the program can more actively fact check on the spot.
VP bet Rizalito David said candidates must now unite behind unified tandems to defeat Marcos and Duterte. David says in the VP race, he's willing to withdraw to make way for potential winnable bet Senate President Tito Sotto
SP Tito Sotto does not indulge David's call to unite behind him. Walden Bello does not consider him a non-admin candidate because of Duterte alliance, but again Sotto denies being partial to the Duterte government
Sotto defends Lacson and says his presidential bet did not red tag, but was merey relaying intel -- on Twitter amid intense red-tagging and the anti terror law's designation power.
Sotto says he's not likely to raise the Marcos estate tax tonight even though one of the topics for the VP debate is government accountability
Does Senator Kiko Pangilinan think supporting progressives is walking on egg shells given red tagging? He says no, adds his track record speaks of his work against impunity.
Pangilinan said no one has approached him about withdrawing and uniting behind one bet to defeat Sara Duterte, says the frontrunners in this period in 2016 eventually lost.
Prof Walden Bello says he expected the "dirty game" of red tagging some tandems, says it was expected of generals
WATCH: Comelec chair Saidamen Pangarungan says they will discuss in next en banc what they can do to compel candidates to join debates. Can they require via reso? Maybe, says Chair Pangarungan, or maybe not if there's no law says Comm George Garcia
Walden Bello, whose criticism against the Comelec prompted an impromptu presscon from the commission, repeats his message to debate absentees Marcos and Duterte
