Participants

Bongbong Marcos and Gringo Honasan did not take part in the televised debate. Marcos issued a statement that he made private meetings and joined a Unity Caravan in Batangas during the day of the debate. He also stated that he and his wife Louise Araneta Marcos spent their 23rd wedding anniversary and had a dinner.[3] Coincidentally, the anti-Marcos protestors were seen gathering around outside the compound, remembering the atrocities made during the Martial Law under the rule of former President Ferdinand Marcos.

Honasan cited prior commitments in Mindanao which can't be cancelled in short notice to enable him to attend the debate.[3]
