Sinabi ni lawyer Barry Gutierrez, spokesperson ng OVP, na hindi makakadalo sa SMNI debates bukas si Vice President Leni Robredo dahil naka-iskedyul itong pumunta sa Panay Island.
"Leni Robredo has a proven track record of attending debates and interviews regardless of the personal histories or affiliations of its sponsors," ani Gutierrez.
"Unfortunately, the VP already has a long standing commitment to meet with leaders and supporters in Panay Island on the date this event was scheduled," dagdag pa nito.
"She will be unable to attend this privately sponsored event, but will definitely be present for all the upcoming Comelec sponsored and accredited debates," saad pa ng spokesman.
Bukas, Martes, Pebrero 15 ang iskedyul ng SMNI presidential debates.
Samantala, hindi rin dadalo sina Senador Ping Lacson at Senador Manny Pacquiao.
