Erap snubs Inquirer debate
MANILA, Philippines - Former president Joseph Estrada on Monday snubbed the Philippine Daily Inquirer's 1st Edition Presidential Debate held at the main theater of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.
A statement issued by Estrada's spokesperson, Margaux Salcedo, read: "The executive committee of the campaign felt that Inquirer is always biased against Erap, that it would work more harm than good to attend, and advised President Erap not to go."
As a result, only 8 presidential candidates are participating in the debate.
Estrada had previously attended other presidential forums organized by various groups including Sunday's debate at Miriam College, which was organized by the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) and TV5.
The former president also skipped a January 29 forum organized by ANC, saying that he had to shoot a campaign infomercial.

Kanino ba Masasayang ang Boto?
Sinasabi nyong masasayang ang boto nyo kapag ang iboboto nyo ay hindi pinapasikat sa surveys?
Saan ba talaga masasayang ang boto? Sa bumoto ng sikat at liamado o sa bumoto ng talagang karapat dapat?
6 na taon nating papasanin ang pagkakamali sa pagboto, tulad ng pagboto kina erap at gloria.. Nagsisisi daw ang mga pilipino ngunit kung titingnan mo ang mga nangungunang mga kandidato, may pinagkaiba ba sa mga dati ng mga binoto nyo?
By many reasons, kay Gordon ako.. Manalo o matalo, wala akong pakialam, basta alam kong tama ang iboboto ko at kung iba man ang manalo, kung between money or kumunoy ay libre naman uling magsisi ang mga Pilipino..

Forget Erap
Forget Erap. He has no chance of winning anyway. We cannot get any important issues from him. We should not waste our time listening to him. Rather we should put him in the dust bin.
Let The People Be The Judge
It's hard to have a president who is selective of his constituents. Instead of patching up things with the Inquirer, Erap keeps on bringing up the issue that Inquirer is bias. I thought he already forgiven all his enemies?
