CANDIDATES for president and vice president will be able to discuss their plans and programs in face-to-face debates ahead of the May 2022 polls, an official of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said on Thursday. "We are looking to have essentially six debates — three for president and three for vice president (VP). We have three presidential debates as a general rule. "This time, we are hoping to expand the number of VP debates seeing how VP is elected independently of the president. They might have their own debate series," Jimenez said.
