MANILA - Expect rains in large parts of the Philippines on Thursday due to the southwest monsoon or habagat, according to state weather bureau PAGASA.

In its latest public weather forecast, PAGASA said Metro Manila, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, and Pangasinan will have cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon.

Flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains are possible in these areas.

The rest of the country, meanwhile, will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms due to the habagat or localized thunderstorms.

The Commission on Elections is eyeing a resolution that would obligate candidates to attend televised debates, saying it would help voters in their choices ahead of the 2025 midterm elections. 

Candidates, especially those leading in pre-election surveys, have sometimes snubbed televised debates in past elections to avoid potentially damaging their chances of winning.

“Kinakailangang susunod sila sa patakaran ng Comelec and kung inendorse namin ang isang debate, pwede namin silang i-compel na umatend dun sa mga debate na yun  because sa aking paniniwala, ‘yan ay regulasyon ng Comelec,” Comelec Chairman George Garcia told TeleRadyo Serbisyo in an interview.

The poll chief said Comelec is unlikely to host a debate for senatorial candidates in the 2025 midterm elections, saying these should be left to the media.

“Ang nangyari nung 2022, Comelec ang mismong nag-sponsor ng debate. Hindi tama ‘yun, contrary yun sa batas. Kaya ngayon ay ine-engganyo namin ang mga istasyon ng radyo ang tv na gustong magpa-debate, kami ay magbibigay ng go signal,” he said.
