MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN's Harapan: Mga Isyu ng Bayan debates among senatorial candidates used three parallel mechanisms to gauge audience reaction during the event.

The first two mechanisms were online and SMS polls, which allowed viewers to vote the "truthfulness" of the answers of the candidates during the event. The two polls were started only at the start of the debate, and the results tallied before the end of the show.

The third and final mechanism was the Wireless Audience Response System (WARS), which allowed a random sample of audience members to vote if they believed the answers of the candidates. A total of 180 people from different sectors in 4 areas (45 from each area)—Metro Manila, Dagupan, Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro—were invited to watch the debate.

They were given a WARS device and asked whether or not they thought the candidate gave a truthful answer.

Below are the results of the voting for the three platforms:
