PiliPinas Debates 2016 is a debate series administered by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in preparation for the May 9, 2016 general elections.

The first leg was held on February 21 at the Mini-Theater Building of the Capitol University in Cagayan de Oro. It aired on GMA Network and was simulcast on Super Radyo DZBB, RGMA stations and KBP-affiliated radio stations nationwide. A live stream of the event was also made available. The Mindanao leg was moderated by Mike Enriquez and Jessica Soho of GMA Network and John Nery of inquirer.net.[1]

Broadcast and coverage

In January 2016, the Commission on Elections confirmed that they would hold three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate. This will be the first time that the Comelec will host debates since the 1992 elections.[2] The debates were branded PiliPinas Debates 2016.[3]

Online media and the debates

On February 19, 2016, Rappler sued COMELEC chairman Andres Bautista for “granting exclusive broadcasting and livestreaming rights to handpicked media partners" before the Supreme Court, not allowing online media to live stream the events. Rappler and asked the high court to intervene to allow the debates to be streamed by more than one outlet.[5]

The social service claimed that the memorandum of understanding excluded online media from covering and streaming the debate; Bautista countered, stating that Rappler was being unprofessional and that they should have read the contract they signed. Rappler countered by saying it had raised the issues with Bautista and signed the agreement, believing in good faith that COMELEC would resolve the issues. Rappler's lawyer, JJ Disini, said the process for selecting media outlets could have been more transparent; he also expressed concern that the state-owned PTV-4 network was excluded from the agreement.[5]
