The COMELEC announced in an official statement: “Preparation and Posting of Certified List of Overseas Absentee Voters. – The Commission shall prepare the Certified List of Overseas Absentee Voters within one hundred twenty (120) days before every election, and furnish within the same period copies thereof to the appropriate embassies, consulates, and other foreign service establishments, which shall post the same in their bulletin boards within ten (10) days from receipt thereof.”

Reminders When Voting During PH Elections

The government values citizens’ votes because they allow Filipinos from all over the world to participate in political and social issues in their homeland. The ideal candidate will be able to handle the country’s current condition while also representing Filipinos in a favorable light to the rest of the globe.

Remember To Vote Wisely

When choosing a political leader, voters should examine the candidates’ principles and personality attributes. These will aid us in making an informed judgment when it comes time to elect a new president. For leadership roles, only people with outstanding ambitions and goals should be considered. Examine the policies of the candidates to see if they seek to better the lives of Filipinos in other countries.

The Importance of Overseas Voting

There is a lot riding on the next national elections. Additionally, the significance of votes cast by Filipinos living abroad cannot be emphasized. Over a million Filipinos have left the country to live or work in foreign countries. Their earnings contribute to the Philippines’ economic growth.

Despite the small Filipino presence in Chile, Filipinos in the capital and other areas of the region are bonded by their ties to the country, their families, and their shared experiences of spending decades or more abroad.

They have a say in how their families manage their houses because the majority of these people are breadwinners. As a result, every vote cast by a Filipino living outside of the Philippines counts; make sure yours does too.

FINAL THOUGHTS

As Election Day approaches, we only have a few weeks to get ready for the new leaders who will lead our country in a new direction.

Many people are surprised by the number of people who have demonstrated their competence to lead the country, as well as the existence of questionable candidates claiming to be “the one” – but isn’t this true of every election?

As a result, your vote will be critical in electing a president with the skills and experience needed to lead the country through these difficult times.

It would be ideal to have a leader who could address the country’s present difficulties while also projecting a favorable image to the rest of the world.

If the country wants to fulfill its goals, it will require leaders who are committed to democracy and freedom. When we pick the leaders for future elections, it is vital that we all work together to build the country. Let us, regardless of where we are in the globe, use our collective strength, as indicated by our votes, to develop our home nation, the Philippines.

Will you be allowed to cast a ballot in the next elections now that the official list of abroad voters has been made public? How was the verification procedure carried out under the supervision and guidance of the Philippine diplomatic mission in Chile? Do you have any advice for Filipinos preparing to vote in the national elections this year? Is there anything else you’d like to tell other Filipinos who could find themselves in your situation? We’d love to hear your ideas in the comments section below. Also, please share this information with any friends or family members who might be interested.
