Aksyon Demokratiko vice presidential candidate Dr. Willie Ong proposed the use of lie detector machines during debates to determine whether the candidates are really telling the truth about their accomplishments and what they plan to do for the country if they get elected.
He made this proposal during a media interview at the provincial capitol of Pampanga where he and his running mate, Aksyon Demokratiko presidential candidate and Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso, paid a courtesy visit to Gov. Dennis Pineda on Wednesday, March 2.
Ong was asked about his thoughts on the forthcoming Commission on Elections-sponsored debates, specifically on the issue about the Comelec releasing to candidates the general topics to be covered in the debates on March 19 and 20.
“Kahit anong tanong pwede from A to Z. Pag alam mo, sagutin mo. Pag di mo alam sabihin mo aaralin mo. Wala namang perfect eh. Ang mahalaga tingnan mo (kandidato) kung sinungaling ba? Corrupt ba? O talagang tutulungan kayo. Kung gusto nyo nga may lie detector para mas maganda (Any questions from A to Z will do. If you know the answer, then answer it. If you don’t know yet, you can study it. Nobody is perfect. What important is whether your candidate is a liar? Corrupt? Or someone who will help you. If you want to use a lie detector, then it’s much better),” said the 58-year-old cardiologist.
