SENATOR MIRIAM
The senator appears to be tired during the debate. She's not she used to be compared to her glory days at the Philippine Senate. Considering her age and medical condition, it's not hard to believe that she's getting exhausted from campaigning and constant travel. As much as I would like her to be the President of the Philippines, I don't think she can handle more business trips to any places in the nation.
MAYOR DUTERTE
His style of public speaking may work in local conferences, local press interviews, but it appears to me that it's not responding well when it comes to the national stage. He made promises: 3-6 months crime cleansing, and 3 days of annihilating cartels. He defended his womanizing acts that made most male audience amused. For me, debate is not his forte despite the fact he started as a lawyer. He didn't even give a slight effort to give a rebuttal on Roxas' claims.
SENATOR POE
I wasn't really into her but after watching the debate, I must say that she was very well-prepared. She chose to wear a slim-fit white dress that's perfect for her physical structure, gave us that actress-like smile, and always answer direct to the point. It seems that she studied well on issues that will come up on this debate. As other candidates were offering promises, Grace Poe offered solutions such as proposing an AGRO-INDUSTRIAL ZONE and have DTI and DA to work together for a fact-finding such as performing soil testing inorder to find out more "added value" that farmers can take advantage. Also, she proposed that kids should have a free lunch at school. In my opinion, she offered more solutions than typical promises by most politicians during election time.
MAR ROXAS
Lies, damned lies, and statistics. He used it too often with arrogance. He cited the administration gave Mindanao billions of pesos in 5 years for infrastructure. Yeah, combining 5 years, no shit that is a big number. He did great on the debate but for me he got this "rich boy" attitude and belittling other candidates is like a second nature to him.
OVERALL: I gave this debate to SENATOR GRACE POE. I'm really impressed with her performance and hope to see more of that in the next debates.
