Ang Comelec ay maglulunsad ng tatlong presidential at dalawang vice presidential debate na magsisimula ngayong buwan.

Samantala, ipinagtanggol naman ng Comelec ang desisyon nito na tanggalan ng e-rally time slots ang mga kandidatong hindi dadalo sa naturang debate.

“It is a way to make sure the candidates know how serious these debates are and how determined the Comelec is to make sure that the public gets to see them in all of the debate stages,” ani Jimenez sa press briefing.

“It’s something that we feel that has value and we feel should be forefeited if we feel the candidate refused to participate in the debates,” dagdag niya.
