In
an objective assessment of candidates in the first series of televised
presidential debates, I give it to former DILG Secretary Mar Roxas for clarity
of delivery and theoretical constructs. But its Mayor Rodrigo Duterte who gave
the most sensible and pragmatic answers. My expectation of Senator Miriam
Defensor-Santiago dominating the debate didnt happens. Vice President Jejomar
Binay stammered and didn't make an impression in communicating
his ideas. Senator Grace Poe was doing alright, until she delivered her final
answer apparently packaged for the Mindanao issue. The two U.S. educated
candidates i.e. Roxas and Poe, communicated their ideas in a critical thinking
pattern typically practiced by U.S. university management graduates. The three
lawyers i.e. MDS, Duterte and Binay could have articulated their ideas and
personal qualities better, given a little more time and less structured
arrangement to amplify conflict, reconciliation and integration of ideas.
Striking the balance and establishing superiority of thought in a free for all
is where the quality of leadership counts. No clear winner at this point. By:
