THE ABS-CBN Bacolod, in cooperation with the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) Negros Occidental, will hold a Candidates’ Forum dubbed “Panindugan” on April 15, 4:30 p.m., at the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos campus.
Organizers have invited Bacolod City congressional candidates Vice Mayor Greg Gasataya, former Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson, Councilor Archie Baribar, Councilor Carlos Jose Lopez, and Joel Enriquez, and mayoral candidates re-electionist Mayor Monico Puentevella, and his challengers Representative Evelio Leonardia, and former policeman Wilfredo David. Invited vice mayoralty candidates include Councilor El Cid Familiaran and businessman Vladimir Gonzalez. Marty Go, executive producer of “Panindugan,” said the forum will be a venue for candidates to convey to the people of Bacolod their agenda, platforms, and stand on varied political and social issues. A panel chosen by the KBP composed of representatives from various sectors will ask relevant and timely questions that affect the welfare of the voters while the entire forum shall be steered by one moderator. KBP member-stations will be allowed to hook up and air the forum live in their respective stations. The following are the rules and guidelines: There will be five independent panelists from various sectors of society who will be asking questions which have relevance to their respective fields. For each question, all the candidates will equally be given the chance to answer or give their stand on the issue. Each candidate will strictly have one minute and 30 seconds to answer each of the question. A warning sound will be given upon reaching the last 10 seconds to alert the candidate. Each candidate will be given one minute to make an opening statement before the panelists can ask their questions and another one minute to make a closing statement after all the panelists have asked their questions. Verbal attacks against another candidate and use of gutter language are not allowed. (with reports from CNC) Sun Star Bacolod
