In Manila Bulletin's report, Atty Vic Rodriguez, the chief of staff of BBM said:
"The reason why Bongbong Marcos decided not to join the Jessica Soho show is founded on our belief that the hostess of said popular talk show is biased against the Marcoses, and therefore, we believe her questions will just focus on negativity about BBM which the UniTeam dislike and will not subscribe as it hopes that the discourse in any forum about this coming elections must focus on how the aspiring presidents will solve our country’s lingering problems caused by the Covid19 pandemic and what their plans are for our country to roll up from economic stagnation."
A report by One News said that Rodriguez emphasized that candidates must present programs and plans for the country.
