Reminders When Voting During PH Elections
Citizens’ votes are important to the government because they enable Filipinos from all over the world to engage in political and social concerns in their motherland. The ideal candidate will be competent to coping with the current crisis in the nation while also projecting a positive image of Filipinos throughout the world.
Remember To Vote Wisely
Voters should consider the candidates’ values and personality traits when choosing a leader. When it comes time to elect a new president, these will help us make an educated decision. For positions of leadership, only individuals with great dreams and aims for the people and the country should be considered. Examine the candidates’ policies to see if they attempt to improve the lives of Filipinos living in other countries.
The Importance of Overseas Voting
The next national elections have a lot riding on them. Furthermore, the importance of votes cast by Filipinos in other countries cannot be overstated. Over a million Filipinos have emigrated to other nations to live or work. Their revenues help the Philippines thrive economically.
Despite the small Filipino community in Jordan, Filipinos in Cairo and other parts of the nation are linked by their links to the country, their families, and their common experiences of living abroad for decades or more.
Because the majority of these people are breadwinners, they have a voice in how their families run their homes. As a result, every vote cast by a Filipino residing abroad counts; make sure yours does too.
FINAL THOUGHTS
We only have a few weeks to prepare for the new leaders who will lead our country along a new path as Election Day approaches.
Many people are astonished by the number of people who have shown their ability to lead the country, as well as the existence of dubious candidates claiming to be “the one” – but isn’t this true of every election?
As a result, your vote will be crucial in electing a president with the necessary abilities and experience to guide the country through these trying times.
It would be fantastic to have a leader that could both solve the country’s current problems and reflect a positive image to the rest of the globe.
Leaders who are devoted to democracy and freedom will be required if the country is to achieve its objectives. It is critical that we all work together to strengthen the country when we choose the leaders for future elections. Let us use our combined strength, as seen by our votes, to improve our home country, the Philippines, regardless of where we are in the world.
Will you be able to vote in the next elections now that the official list of abroad voters has been released? Under the supervision and guidance of the Philippine diplomatic mission in Jordan, how was the verification procedure carried out? Do you have any recommendations for Filipinos who are planning to vote in this year’s national elections? Is there anything else you’d like to say to other Filipinos who could be in your shoes?
