    Senator Grace Poe was the most prepared candidate according to the author. She effectively used statistics in her responses which made her answers seem neutral. Vice President Binay focused on emphasizing his achievements as mayor of Makati for over 20 decades but did not mention any achievements as Vice President. He also spent more time attacking his opponents than providing solutions. While Senator Miriam displayed intelligence and experience, the author disagreed with her position on lowering estate taxes which would not actually benefit the poor. Mayor Duterte presented himself as fierce but his answers lacked specifics and plans revolved around vague goals of eliminating crime and poverty within 3-6 months. The author hopes for improvements in the next debate.

    OPINION ABOUT PILIPINAS DEBATE 2016


    I was satisfied by what I have witnessed in the debate. What Senator
    Miriam said was really true. The debate was neither a personality contest nor
    a show for entertainment. The debate was a show to educate voters. It was
    an event that has huge influences on the nation because it allows the
    candidates to make their impression on such a large audience.
    As what I have observed, it was Senator Grace Poe who came
    prepared. She played well with statistics as her response in whatever
    questions being thrown to her. I really find that method very intelligent
    because playing with statistics is like being neutral.
    Roxas said something about choosing a president is like recruiting a
    family driver: Kung ihahambing natin ang pagpili ng pangulo sa sino ang
    magmamaneho sa ating mga anak sa araw-araw, kanino natin
    ipagkakatiwala? Sa taong may kaso, sa taong mainitin ang ulo, sa taong
    ngayon pa lang natututo magmaneho, o sa taong ni minsan hindi kayo
    ipinahamak?this statement is like a slap in the face for the other
    Presidentiables. But well, he needs to appear as if he is suits to be in the
    position thats why he said that.
    Throughout the debate, Binay kept on emphasizing the need for a
    decisive leadership in the government, and would frequently cite his
    achievements as the leader of Makati for more than two decades. Why is it
    like that? I mean he only mentioned the achievements as he was the Mayor
    of Makati, how about his achievements as the Vice President? Is there any?
    Also, Binay seemed to be more interested on attacking his election
    opponents and defending himself from allegations than providing concrete
    solutions to national issues.
    As for Senator Miriam, her experience and intelligence was very
    evident in the debate. However, I dont really think her stand about lowering
    sub-taxes such as estate tax to avoid aggravating the poorer half of the
    country is the best solution. Only those rich people have estate tax, so I
    dont think the poor can really benefit from this.
    Mayor Duterte displayed a fierceness and down-to-earth approach,
    however, his answers to the issues were too vague. His plans for every issue
    revolves around his ideal strategy of eradicating crime and poverty in 3 to 6
    months.

    I hope that in the next debate, there will be no tv advertisement and


    there should be an extended talk and better debatable topics so that the
    people can really criticize on who should be the next President of our country.
