Despite Binay's response, Hontiveros said her offer for a debate still stands, noting that it will "help voters make an informed choice this May elections."
Hontiveros noted, however, "it was a call for a debate, not a catfight," noting that it aimed to "elevate our conversation during the campaign period."
This, as she urged voters to help guard against "a contest of under-the-belt attacks, uncivil behavior, unethical, racist, or sexist banters."
Discrimination has no place in the Senate race, Hontiveros said, adding the candidates should be judged according to their political beliefs and vision.
"I hope that Ms. Binay be accorded with full respect despite her refusal to heed the public's call for a public debate," she added.
