During the debate–Grace’s blood surge and Binay’s just being himself

The presidential debate conducted by the Comelec in Cebu the other Sunday and aired over Channel 5 tended to be a bore. Vice President Jejomar C. Binay was taking time appearing onstage, and why, would later be explained by moderator Luchi Valdez. It turned out the vice president had inquired from Luchi on whether he could bring documents to the debate and the lady had said okay, not realizing that it was taboo according to Comelec rules. Fifteen minutes to show time, VP Binay was told he could not carry the documents he had with him to the podium onstage.

The issue delayed the presentation for more than an hour.
