Manny Villar in Bandila Hot Seat
I am an avid viewer of news programs. Due to the hectic class schedule that I have this summer, I only get the chance to watch news programs like Bandila and 24 which airs right after the primetime block. Recently, I and my dormitory buddies here in Molave are checking this Bandila Hot Seat portion of the program.
The Bandila Hot Seat portion works as follows: they invite their viewers to chip in questions through Facebook and Twitter live. They ask these questions live from the candidate. A couple of days ago, Bandila started inviting the presidentiables on the hot seat.
Tonight, one of the top bets to win the President seat this coming elections will be put in the Hot Seat beside news anchors Ces Drilon and Henry Omaga-Diaz. Checking the Bandila Facebook Fanpage right now, there are already lots of questions regarding the recent controversies that Manny Villar is facing – some maybe part of election propaganda and some rose when he formally expressed his intention to run for presidency. And being the political animal that I am, it would be interesting to note how the trend of questions will be and how the questions will be chosen from a pool of Noynoy loyalists and Manny Villar supporters in Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites. This is also my first time to ask questions at the Facebook Fanpage as well as make a coverage of this Bandila Hot Seat portion of the news program.
I am actually curious in Manny Villar response to C-5 controversy as it is for sure to be one of the questions to be thrown to him tonight.
