Skipping Debates

Presidential/VP candidates enjoy a 90-day campaign period.
Within this period, 60M voters are afforded to know who the candidates are and what or how are they going to do once elected. There has to be a playbook disclosed during the election period. And, of course, the psychological make up of the wannabes.
We are entrusting ?7T annually for 6 years to those who are eventually elected. But the crucial factor in choosing our leaders is who are they exactly. There has to be an electoral exercise where we assay the purity of the wannabes: intellectually and psychologically.
We skip the BBM l/Sara debate skip.
We proceed to Sara’s debate avoidance in 2022.
2 and 1/2 years after the elections, Sara’s mental acumen unravels. Had there been a debate between her and Kiko Pangilinan or Tito Sotto, for example, the exercise more or less approximates what an x-ray/CT scan/MRI machine does to a patient. A debate chops down the candidates’ mental armors or lack thereof. It took 30 months for us to discover the rapacity of Sara on her Intel fund; her propensity to violence; her dearth of moral patina; her infidelity; her misplaced conceit, and we wring our hands, “may sayad pala ang pu*^%ina”, etc.
Discussing the whys and wherefores in open debates unmask the candidates. We never clamored for this exercise in 2022.
The Comelec was muzzled beforehand. This agency scanned the Omnibus Election Code and never found any mandate for it to order debates among the bets for higher office.
In short, we were scammed in the highest order to the tune of Php7T annually for six years. The Php21T (three years in office) has been spent where half of it went to kickbacks and Intel funds.
The intelligence of the youth has been stolen under the account Intelligence Fund permanently emblazoned in the general appropriations act enjoying audit untouchability from the Commission on Audit.
We take solace to what Mark Twain said about our sorry state as a nation, “Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were [the Vice President] or member of Congress. But I repeat myself."
