Hit and Miss in Harapan

I have been hearing some negative feedback from the series of the Harapan debates on ABS-CBN. I must admit, I was somehow drawn to the party Ang Kapatiran, since 2007. That's why I understand why they have complained much to ABS-CBN about why they were not included in the line-up of veeps-to-be. I even understand...For me, I am seeing a disconnect between the organizers of the debate and the veeps-to-be and their organizations of origin! Better if the people behind Harapan who missed out veeps-to-be Mr. Chipeco and Mr. Sonza apologize to them! I am a bit peeved with what had happened, but I am still waiting for ABS-CBN to air their side. Those people behind Harapan shall include as much as possible all future veeps and prezes in the next debates, and not just those key candidates/those leading in the surveys to avoid some sort of displeasure!

Anyway, here are the links on the recent Harapan fiasco, and a reply of ABS-CBN on one Harapan issue.

For me, as long as ABS-CBN does not explain as to why there are candidates excluded in the debates, I am going rated No Deal.

To tell the truth, I must say Harapan was a great show, with the WARS and the word wars. The issue here I want to touch is the exclusion of candidates. The issues I want the candidates to tackle most of the time is their platforms and agendas. So must we the audience must tackle on these issues! No to personality questions! And I mean no to personality questions (re: personal performance questions)! I prefer track record questions more than personality questions.
