These are Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, VP Leni Robredo, Sen. Panfilo Lacson, Sen. Manny Pacquiao and Leody de Guzman, Inquirer reported.
"May letter naman sila declining the invitation. May conflicts sa schedules nila," Basbaño said.
The spokesman of BBM, Atty. Vic Rodriguez, released a statement as reported by Philippine Star.
"Although we have been looking forward for BBM’s participation in this event, his current schedules prevent us from accommodating your request. We look forward to engaging with similar KBP initiatives in the future."
Previously, BBM also did not join the presidential interview with Jessica Soho.
Those who accepted Soho's invitation were Moreno, Robredo, Lacson, and Pacquiao.
Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, also popularly known as BBM, is a Pinoy politician famous for being the only son of the late President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos. He served as Ilocos governor from 1998 to 2007 and then as congressman after stepping down as governor.
Bongbong Marcos, in his latest and most recent interview, stated that he is now willing to release his SALN to the public in case he would be elected. The presidential aspirant revealed this during an interview in OnePH in the program "Sa Totoo Lang." Earlier in the day, BBM said that he will not be releasing his SALN in the event he wins if it would only be used for political purposes. Now, he stated otherwise and expressed his willingness to publicize the said document.
Anthony Taberna reacted to the controversy involving Bongbong Marcos and Jessica Soho. Vic Rodriguez, Marcos’ spokesperson, said that the former senator refused to be interviewed by Soho because of her alleged biases against him. Taberna said that politicians should not be criticized for refusing to grant interviews. However, he added that it is also wrong to label journalists and reporters as biased for asking politicians tough and difficult questions.
