#TheLeaderIWant: Rappler holds last leg of senatorial debates on April 22
Rappler goes to the FEU Institute of Technology on Friday, April 22, for the last of its 3-part senatorial debates

MANILA, Philippines – To help the public better assess the candidates courting their votes, Rappler kicked off a 3-part series of senatorial debates that provided candidates with a platform to explain their programs, present their policies on national issues, and tell voters exactly why they should be given one of 12 Senate seats.  

On Friday, April 22, the last batch of senatorial aspirants will face public scrutiny in the third and last leg of the Rappler senatorial debate, to be held at the mini-auditorium of the FEU Institute of Technology from 3 pm to 5:30 pm.

The candidates set to take the stage to answer questions from the crowd are the following:

Rappler held the first leg of the debates at the AMA University on April 8, and the second leg at the University of the Philippines in Diliman on April 15. 

For the first part of the debate, candidates will be given 3 minutes to answer this question: Why are you #TheLeaderIWant?

In the Issues Q & A segment, candidates will have 3 minutes to answer a question chosen by Rappler based on the candidate’s track record and advocacy. Another candidate can comment on the first speaker’s answer for 90 seconds, and the person in the hot seat can present a rebuttal for 90 seconds.

Netizens will also have the chance to pose questions. Rappler will crowdsource questions from the audience.

To be streamed live on Rappler, the debate will also reach television viewers through Media ng Bayan-PTV4’s 14 stations all over the country.

Netizens can also follow updates on social media and join in the conversations. As the debate proceeds, you can react to the candidates’ answers by joining Rappler’s online poll and voting on Rappler’s mood meter on rappler.com/phvote.
