Likewise, she said, the forum gave the voting population of Caibiran town, a chance to evaluate each candidate through their platforms of government.
Held at the Caibiran Municipal Auditorium, the well-attended Candidates Forum was graced by the candidates for the position of Sangguniang Bayan member, Vice-Mayor, Mayor of Caibiran and at the provincial level, the candidates for Sangguniang Panlalawigan members, Vice-Governor, Governor and Congressman.
In his opening message during the candidates forum, Mr. Deonilo Pantas, Municipal Election Officer of Caibiran, Biliran said that he pursued organizing the forum in his town because the activity will guide the voters in choosing the right candidates to lead the province of Biliran, district and the municipality.
The panel of interviewers during the forum was composed of representatives from the religious sector, PIA, Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Biliran Chapter, students and youth sector, and the academe.
Each provincial candidate was given five minutes to present his programs and platform of government while the municipal candidates were given three minutes each.
For their final statements, both provincial and municipal candidates were given only one minute each.
The no-show candidates during the forum were considered by the organizers to have waived their privilege to join the forum.

Ang kandidato nga manginahanglan sa among boto dapat magpakita sa furom ug magsaysay sa iyang plata porma.
Ang kandidato nga mangayo sa among ug boto dapat dili motago sa saya sa iyang poder ug iyang gahom
Ang kandidato nga naay baruganan angayan unta nga mopakita sa amo ug istoryahan kami sa iyang mga plano para kanamo.
Ang kandidato nga bahag ug buntot most likely dili effective nga leader kay karon pa lang nga pangampanya pa lang magsige ug tago ug magsige ug banat below the belt sa iyang kalaban de politika.
Ang kandidato nga dili moatender ug mga forum naay ginatago ug hadlok maigo sa mga banat sa iya nga most likely tinuod..
Ang kandidato nga hadlok kanamo dili angyan iboto!!!!!
si amadel sevilla ning-apil ba sa furom?
