Senatorial bets let hair down, bare selves on GMANews.TV's webcast

Email the Editor Print | | More
How can one strip naked the hearts and minds of those who want to be senators?

Simple. We make them take Pito-Pito. Not the herbal tea, but the seven provocative questions that GMANews.TV's editorial team prepared for the candidates.

The questions and answers can be viewed through the Web site's first Webcasting package dubbed Pito-Pito sa Mayo.

After GMA News & Public Affairs grilled the "senatoriables" with policy questions through the two-episode voters’ education forum Isang Tanong, GMANews.TV’s Pito-Pito engaged the candidates in a conversation that drew out views on issues close to aspiring senators' hearts.

Through an on-camera “let your hair down" interview by GMANews.TV editors Raffy Jimenez and Tita Valderama, Pito-Pito reveals "behind-the-scene" soundbites from the candidates.

GMANews.TV tried to contact all the senatorial candidates but was only able to interview 27. Some of the bets had hectic schedules while others were either out of town or could not be reached.

Pito-Pito exposes the candidates’ motivations for joining the senatorial race, what they think they did best in life, what makes them really sad and happy, and what makes them tick and twist.

Below are the seven questions. To see the video clips and know the candidates’ exciting and heartfelt answers to these, please click on www.gmanews.tv/pitopitosamayo.

1. Maari mo bang sabihin kung ano ang nagtulak sa iyo para sumabak sa pulitika? Pulitika lang ba ang natatanging paraan upang makatulong o magserbisyo sa publiko?

2. Ano ang pinakamakabuluhang nagawa mo na sa buhay?

3. Anong pagkakamali ang nagawa mo sa buhay na pinakapinagsisisihan mo?

4. Ano ang pinakamasaklap na pangyayari sa buhay mo at paano mo ito nalagpasan?

5. Ano ang pinaka-epektibong gimik na ginawa mo sa pangangampanya? Sample nga…

6. Ano ang saysay ng pulitiko sa bansa?

7. Pagkatapos ng mahigit dalawang buwan nang pangangampanya, sa tingin mo ba mananalo ka? Ano ang gagawin mo kapag natalo ka?
