Third Debate

In the photo which she posted on social media, Davila referred to Duterte as the leading presidential candidate and that he can handle the toughest questions.

Davila explained that she had to ask Duterte the hard questions because she sees him as the toughest, however she later added that the photo she posted doesn’t mean that she is endorsing the mayor as her presidential bet.

Davila who moderated the last debate gained a lot of criticisms most especially from social media users for allegedly throwing the hardest questions to Duterte.

Netizens claimed that the anchorwoman flared the most personal questions to Duterte compared to former DILG Secretary Mar Roxas and Vice President Jejomar Binay, even referring to Davila as bias.

In the “Fast Talk” segment of the third and the last presidential debate that was aired in ABS-CBN on April 24, Davila asked Duterte if there is any member of his family that was involved in dr_g use, and if there is, what will he do?

Netizens fired against Davila for her follow up question noting that she could have asked others too with personal questions.

In explanation, Davila reiterated that she wasn’t able to fire other questions towards Roxas and the other candidates because of the time limit. It can be remembered that the presidential candidates only have particular time for the “Fast Talk,” while some of the candidates explained much regarding their answer in one question— the time to ask for more questions was compromised.

Davila added that there were more questions that she missed to ask to the candidates.

Davila furthermore thanked those netizens who recognized that she was just doing her job as a debate moderator.

Earlier, Davila was also praised and criticized for pounding Senatorial runner Alma Moreno in an interview to which Moreno said she is thankful to Davila.

Presidential Candidate Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago’s Patriotic Closing Statement

by in Categories Featured

“I will never quit, I will never stop, I will never withdraw!” – Senator Miriam Santiago

“I have not allowed my words to overcome my deeds.” People’s Reform Party standard bearer Senator Miriam Santiago quoted during her closing statement at the recent Pilipinas Debate 2016 round 3, hosted by ABS-CBN.

She might not be everyone’s bet for this coming 2016 Presidential election, but Senator Miriam Santiago is definitely and clearly not like all the rest of them. Admit it or not, we cannot imagine the Philippine government without her.

No doubt, Senator Miriam Santiago has the moral courage and intellectual capacity to obliterate the culture of crime and corruption in the Philippines. She is intellectual superior among others and her academic record speaks of it.

Her excellent and reputable records here and outside the country attest to it. Her wit is one of her swords in the Philippine politics. She is brave… and she told the media once, “I eat d3ath threats for breakfast”. With just one look, her ability to identify a person if he or she is corrupt is beyond.

Her struggles in life even made her stronger as a person, as a mother, and as a Filipino citizen. Not new to us all, she suffered from a stage 4 Canc3r but it never hinders her to run from the office, as she quoted to her speech, “I am now normal. I can think. I can act. And I can pray…” she even added, “I will never quit, I will never stop, I will never withdraw!”

Her fighting spirit is unlike others, and this is one of the most celebrated parodies in the Philippine politics, that is why she was merited as the “tiger lady of Asia” and even called as the “Iron lady of Asia.”

And as observed by many, of all those presidential candidates, Senator Miriam Santiago doesn’t have any dirty issues aside from her health.

At the end of the day, it is our responsibility, it is our duty as Filipino to people who we are going to put to lead for the betterment of our country. God Bless Philippines!
