7 presidential candidates to join ‘Catholic E-Forum’

MANILA – In the Church-based online forum which started on Monday, seven out of 10 presidential bets in the May 9 elections have so far confirmed their participation.

Bro. Clifford Sorita, one of the organizers of the Catholic E-Forum, said those who are expected to attend in the one-on-one interview for those running for the highest post in the land are labor leader Leody de Guzman, Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso, former national security adviser Norberto Gonzales, Senator Ping Lacson, Dr. Jose Montemayor Jr., Senator Manny Pacquiao and Vice President Leni Robredo.

De Guzman was the first contender to be interviewed, while Montemayor will present his platform on Tuesday.

From 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., the Catholic E-forum is aired in Barangay Simbayanan via Radio Veritas 846 with Veritas anchors Angelique Lazo and Rev. Fr. Jerome Secillano.

Sorita added that presidential candidates Faisal Mangomdato, former presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella, and former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. have been invited as well.

“They have informed us that they received the invite and will communicate their response,” Sorita said.

Sorita stated that invitations to the national candidate were given two weeks ago.

Apart from the presidential aspirants, vice-presidential (VP) and senatorial candidates have been invited to the church-based program.

The presidential candidates will be interviewed from February 14 to February 28.

Meanwhile, VP candidates will be interviewed from March 1 to 15, while senatorial aspirants will be able to present their platforms from March 16 to April 29.

Former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza, Walden Bello, Rizalito David, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, Manny Lopez, Dr. Willie Ong, Kiko Pangilinan, Carlos Serapio, and Senator Tito Sotto are among those running for the country’s second highest seat.

There are 64 candidates running for the 12 senatorial seats.

Sorita believed that it is crucial for candidates running for public office to attend such forums so that the public can learn more about them.

“Attending a public forum is crucial in public accountability, most especially when you are seeking the highest position in the country. The Church is non-partisan thus is it important that everyone has an equal opportunity to be heard and to be asked on crucial issues concerning the country,” Sorita said.

The program is also available on the Radio Veritas Facebook page, Radio Veritas Asia, TV Maria, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila-Archdiocesan Office of Communications (RCAM-AOC) Catholic Media Network (CMN), Skycable Channel 211, and other Social Communications Ministry of the Catholic Church.

The Episcopal Commission on Social Communications and the Permanent Committee on Public Affairs of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines are also presenting it.
