MANILA, Philippines - The Kapisanan ng mga
Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) is organizing the debate between Vice
President Jejomar Binay and Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV.
Herman Basbaño, KBP Vice President, said Friday over Radio
Singko that the face-off will likely be held in the next two weeks.
The camp of Binay proposed that the event be held on
November 10 at the Philippine International Convention Center.
Basbaño said it will be a "no holds barred"
verbal encounter between the two officials.
Basbaño urged broadcasting firms to cover and air the event
as it would be of great public interest.
He said the organization is formulating protocols and
finalizing the debate's format.
Binay has been accused of corruption as former Makati City
mayor in testimonies before the Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee during the past
weeks.
Binay challenged Trillanes, a member of the Senate panel and
critical of the Vice President, to argue with him face to face in an organized
event.
Trillanes accepted the challenge Wednesday as another
hearing is held probing the Binay family's alleged unexplained wealth.
