BBM camp to finalize this week if Bongbong will attend Comelec debate

GUIGUINTO, Bulacan — Attorney Vic Rodriguez, spokesperson for presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., said Tuesday their camp would finalize this week whether the former senator will attend the debate sponsored by the Commission on Elections.

“Maybe this week we will finalize because of our schedule, our schedule is very tight and it's getting tighter by the day as we go into the middle of March,” Rodriguez said in an ambush interview here.

Rodriguez said Marcos has an event on the day of the Comelec debate, March 19, which has been scheduled for more than two months.

“Mayroon, we have a full schedule on that day that has been in place for more than two months na. Ang scheduling namin mahaba, talagang mahaba ang schedule namin,” he explained.

(We have a full schedule on that day that has been place for more than two months na. Our schedule is long, our schedule is really long.)

Marcos has skipped the presidential interview with GMA Network’s veteran journalist Jessica Soho as well as the forum organized by the Kapisanan ng Brodkaster ng Pilipinas. 

Marcos also did not attend the presidential debate organized by CNN Philippines.

Marcos, however, attended the debate sponsored by SMNI. — RSJ, GMA News
