PFP's Briones declines Guanzon's dare for debate

Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) general counsel George Briones on Friday declined the challenge of Commission on Elections (Comelec) commissioner Rowena Guanzon to have a televised debate.

Guanzon was irked with the call of the PFP to have her investigated and disbarred after she disclosed that she voted for the disqualification of presidential candidate Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.  in Eleksyon 2022.

Marcos is the standard bearer of PFP.

The commissioner then challenged Briones to a debate on television.

"Marunong pa kayo sa akin eh ako itong propesor ng batas. Masyado kayong marunong. Sinong abogado diyan ang haharap sa akin sa debate kung may violation ako dito? Sige nga, mag-debate kami dito sa TV," Guanzon said.

(You think you're more knowledgable than me, a law professor. Any lawyer there willing to face me in a debate regarding possible violation in this issue? Let's debate on TV.)

Briones initially accepted Guanzon's challenge but later declined it after the poll commissioner bared that the former is her "Sigma Rho brod."

Guanzon said Briones has no respect for her after calling her an "incorrigible narcissist."

I will unfriend George Briones in my FB. He is my Sigma Rho brod but he has no respect for his sister Deltan. Called me " incorrigible narcissist."

Briones said: "Since Commissioner Guanzon disclosed that I am her Sigma Rho Fraternity brother, I respectfully decline her invitation to debate with her."

"For I firmly believe in our Code of Action which is 'to give due respect if not love to a Sister Deltan'," he added.—AOL, GMA News
