                    [Title] => Roco proposes debate among presidential candidates’ spouses
                    [Summary] => SISON, Pangasinan — With the presidential debate still up in the air, why not a debate among the spouses of the contenders for Malacañang?


This was the idea broached here yesterday by former education secretary Raul Roco, who has consistently placed third in surveys among presidential candidates in the May elections.

Describing Lacson’s intention as virtually "for pogi points," Osmeña said Lacson must have wanted his support and to "get the sympathy" of his political party, Bando Osmeña-Pundok Kauswagan (BO-PK), in his presidential bid because he (Lacson) knows that former mayor Alvin Garcia "is not going to win in Cebu."
