The Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the "PiliPinas Forum 2022", an interview format for presidential and vice presidential candidates.
This initiative replaces the postponed final event of the PiliPinas Debates 2022 Series.
Comelec Chairman Saidamen Pangarungan stated the taped panel interview format will provide the public with more information for an informed vote.
The format aims to overcome scheduling challenges with candidates during the final campaign days, with an option for online interviews.
Comelec Commissioner George Garcia previously mentioned that these would not be "PR-type" interviews but in-depth discussions.
Respected media personalities have been tapped as panelists for the interviews.
Candidates will have three options for how they wish to be interviewed.
