MANILA, Philippines — Presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has turned down an invitation from the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas to a forum among presidential candidates on Friday, saying he already has something planned for the day.

 

KBP president Herman Basbaño told TeleRadyo that they sent invites to six presidential aspirants, but Marcos sent a letter declining the invitation citing a conflict in their schedule. Basbaño, who is from the Bombo Radyo Phils. network, said preparations for the forum began in December.

 

Vice President Leni Robredo, Sens. Panfilo Lacson and Manny Pacquiao, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and labor leader Leody de Guzman of Partido Lakas ng Masa have accepted the invitation go on the live, although virtual, interview with a panel of journalists from several media outfits.
