(SPOT.ph) Although we were only slated to have one vice-presidential debate this year, the April 9 #PiliPinasDebates2016 still packed a lot of punch. There were plenty of mudslinging, a heckling crowd (that apparently included presidential aspirant Vice President Jejomar Binay), and important national issues discussed. Celebrities tuned in to the debates and like you, they had a lot to say online, too.
First were the general reactions to the debate, which ranged from topics on traffic to the mudslinging and their standout picks:
