Senate bets seek student support at UP youth forum
Twenty-five senatorial candidates participated in "The Rundown 2025: A Youth-Oriented Senate Elections Forum" held at UP Diliman on Saturday, March 15.
The forum, organized by students from the UP Diliman School of Economics, aimed to provide young voters with impartial insights into candidates' stances on various issues.
Despite invitations sent to all 65 senatorial candidates, over half either declined or did not respond.
Notably, only one candidate from PDP Laban attended, and no candidates from the administration's Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas were present.
Several candidates from Makabayan, Partido Lakas ng Masa, Workers and Peasants' Party, and independent candidates participated.
Rappler livestreamed the event and will continue election coverage on their #PHVote site until Election Day on May 12.
