MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now that 5 2022 Presidential candidates have filed or announced their candidacies, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) has issued debate rules come the campaign period for next May’s elections.

The Adobo Chronicles obtained a leaked copy of the debate rules and schedule:

• Manny Pacquiao debates Leni Robredo.
• Winner between Pacquiao and Robredo debates Panfilo Lacson.
• Winner in the Lacson debate will face Isko Moreno.
