ROWENA GUANZON – The retired Comelec Commissioner took to social media wherein she slammed presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. after he reject the one-on-one debate challenge of Vice President Leni Robredo.
Marcos Jr. and Robredo are among the top candidates in the presidential elections.

Previously, the camp of BBM announced that the latter will not attend the final presidential debate organized by the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
Bongbong Marcos is the only presidential candidate absent during the first two debates of Comelec.
This prompted Robredo to challenge her rival, BBM to a one-on-one debate.
In a statement, Robredo said that BBM is the only candidate who’s yet to face the Filipino people at a debate.
According to her, attending such a debate is important so that the public would evaluate the candidates and hear their plans and platforms as well as compare their vision for the country.
“Inaanyayahan ko si Ginoong Bongbong Marcos na makipagdebate, para mabigyan ang taumbayan ng pagkakataong makaharap siya at matanong tungkol sa mga kontrobersiyang pumapalibot sa kanya,” she said.
Robredo said that if Marcos Jr. agreed, she will face him “anytime, anywhere.”
However, the camp of BBM immediately rejected the call of Robredo to a one-on-one debate.
His refusal to face Robredo in a debate earned the reaction of retired Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon.
In a tweet, she wrote: “Walang bayag si BBM.”
