The Commission on Elections (Comelec) clarified that candidates in the May 12 mid-term elections are not obligated to join debates, as no legal provision mandates participation. Comelec Chairperson George Garcia confirmed that the poll body will not organize debates but emphasized that external organizers must invite all candidates to ensure fairness. The Comelec recently issued guidelines for media debates to maintain neutrality and provide voters with accurate information.
