The news was announced in an official statement by the COMELEC: “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
Citizens’ votes are important to the government because they allow Filipinos from all over the world to engage in the country’s political and social affairs. The ideal candidate will be able to effectively lead the country through its present challenges while simultaneously projecting a favorable image of Filipinos worldwide.
Remember To Vote Wisely
Voters should examine the candidates’ opinions and personality attributes when choosing a leader. When the time comes to vote for a new president, these will help us make an educated selection. Only candidates for positions of leadership who have appealing ideas and a clear vision for the people and the country should be considered. Examine the candidates’ policies to see if they have a plan in place to improve the lives of Filipinos living overseas.
The Importance of Overseas Voting
There will be a lot riding on the approaching election. Furthermore, the significance of votes cast by Filipinos living in other countries cannot be emphasized. Over a million Filipinos have emigrated to live or work in other nations. Their revenues help to drive the Philippine economy forward.
Despite Israel’s small Filipino population, Filipinos in Tel Aviv and other parts of the nation are bound together by links to their birthplace, family, and similar experiences of living overseas for decades or more.
Because the majority of these adults work, they may have an impact on how their families are treated. As a result, every vote cast by a Filipino living abroad matters; make sure yours is one of them.
FINAL THOUGHTS
With only a few weeks till Election Day, abroad Filipinos must prepare for the new leaders who will steer our country in a more progressive direction.
Many people are shocked by the number of people who have shown their potential to lead the country, as well as the appearance of questionable candidates claiming to be “the one” – but isn’t this true in every election?
As a result, your vote will be crucial in picking a president who possesses the attributes and abilities essential to lead the country through these trying times.
It would be ideal to have a leader who can solve the country’s present issues while projecting a favorable image to the rest of the globe.
To fulfill its goals, the country will need leaders who are committed to democracy and freedom. It is vital that we all work together to build the country when picking leaders for future elections. Let us utilize our collective strength, as evidenced by our votes, to better our home country, the Philippines, no matter where we are in the world.
So, based on your assessment of the CLOV provided by your host country, are you eligible to vote in future elections? What advantages have you gained from this process? Were there any challenges or problems, and did you bring these to the attention of the Philippine diplomatic mission in your country? Please leave a comment and tell us what you think.
