Overview

Winnie Monsod serves as a host.

Considered the first successful debate-type public affairs program, it was awarded
by the Philippine Movie Press Club as best public affairs program and best talk
show by the Catholic Mass Media Awards.

Debate is the first of its kind in the country, combining information and
entertainment in discussing various issues. The hosts act as moderators of the
debate and live audience were given the opportunity to express their opinions.

Debate pioneered the use of highly computerized televoting system, wherein

televiewers cast their votes on the featured issue. These include SMS, internet
voting, and telephone voting. From 1998 to 2000, pagers were used when SMS were not
yet in the market.

A viewer is entitled to call for reactions or submit votes through an automated

voice system.

Estrada called the program and expressed his remarks against the chairman of the
Philippines' Securities and Exchange Commission.

was briefly replaced by TV news anchor Mel Tiangco when she ran for the position of
