The highlight of the May 9, 2016 national and local elections is arguably the election for president. The Comelec is supposedly helping voters to choose by co-sponsoring with media conglomerates three Presidential Debates.

The coverage of the media on the candidates, on the other hand, has focused more on what has been happening during the campaign sorties of the candidates.
To do its share in helping the public in making an informed choice, The following are Bulatlat's short articles on each of the five presidential candidates, focusing on their track record. After all, as they say, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating." A cliche but nevertheless true.
