Presidential Debate:
Winners of Part 1
Round 1, Part 1:
Grace Poe
Grace Poe was the winner of the first round of the first part of the second presidential debate, according to Rappler editors. (PiliPinas 2016: The Cebu Presidential Debate)
The heated discussion commenced immediately and rapidly turned into a tense discussion specifically on
Jejomar Binay's corruption allegations as well as Poe's citizenship issue.
Editors deemed Poe the most consistent and composed when it came to answering hard questions against her. She was able to turn key questions against her, relating to her citizenship, to a discussion about her plan to help
Filipinos abroad, although she appeared to lose her cool in some moments.
Poe was notably more aggressive in answering and asking questions in the second presidential debate. She was asked why she felt the
FOI bill she championed languished and who she thought might be help or hindrance to this later on.
The second question intensified the ongoing discussion on corruption. Asked what he would do with the pending cases of his son, dismissed
Makati mayor
Junjun Binay, VP Binay said that he would comply with the law – even if he believed his son was innocent.
Binay later hit Poe on her citizenship issue, citing that she turned away her
Filipino citizenship when she took an oath to become an
American citizen. She hit back, likening her situation to Filipinos who worked abroad but did not love the country any less – and that one of her goals was to provide more opportunities for them.
Round 1, Part 2: No clear winner
No clear winner was visible in the second part of the first round, focusing on taxes and
Yolanda rehabilitation. Candidates went off-topic, veering away from the original questions asked
.
In the second part of the first round, Binay was asked about how he would reconcile his massive infrastructure program with the resulting decrease of funds to be gleaned should his plan to exempt those earning
P30,
000 or less a month of taxes.
He said that there would be compensatory measures, and noted that there are savings to be had from other areas and projects.
Following that, he hit alleged underspending in the government, to which
Mar Roxas was asked to react.
Calling Binay’s analysis “convoluted,” Roxas pointed out his own project for tax reforms, which would be addressed after the election period.
Poe brought forward the need to create more permanent jobs and fair compensation, in addition to changes in tax laws. Using her previous comments about Filipinos working abroad as a jumping off
point, she pointed out that other countries enjoyed lower tax rates – and that this was of course attractive to Filipinos.
Duterte reiterated what he’s previously said – that such projects and endeavors would only be effective if corruption were eradicated.
The following question, for Mar Roxas, brought up the spending that was aimed at rehabilitiation following super typhoon Yolanda. It was noted that of a
P200 billion budget, only 90 billion has been released. Roxas
Roxas spoke about his own record – that of the 90 billion, 4 billion was coursed through
DILG and that this was accounted for.
Duterte repeated that he will do what he did in Davao.
It's a very simplistic approach to crime, which has other elements such as an inefficient and corrupt police, a sometimes indifferent public, loose firearms, etc. The drug problem is a tough one. The fact that drugs are being peddled right inside
Muntinlupa shows the extent of this problem. Duterte says the Muntinlupa issue came about under
Aquino administration, but this issue has been prevalent for decades.
Roxas used this to highlight what he called the “Duterte brand of justice” – that Duterte would insist that what was in his head was the truth.
Duterte called Roxas an apologist for the current administration. But Roxas defended the achievements of the current government, citing families whose lives has improved under the administration’s projects.
