Marhay na aldaw, Ateneans!
โFreedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.โ -Albert Camus
As Filipino citizens, we have to exercise our rights to suffrage. Having these rights, it is our responsibility to vote because voting is an important part of democracy. But to be responsible voters, we should take all means to educate ourselves.
The 2022 National Elections is fast approaching. Although campaigns have not yet begun, Filipinos have already expressed their political views on the internet and in the streets. Some people even went so far as to argue for their political bet, resulting in intense debates on social media. However, this election is about more than just picking pink or red; it is about weighing the individuals who will bring about change in the country. In light of this, we are called to be more vigilant in our pursuit of the truth. We must recognize the importance of our running leaders' transparency from the start. By then, we will be able to discern who actually has the vision and willingness to serve the public. And, as voters, it is our job to educate ourselves about them. We must remember that we vote not because we want someone to rule over us, but because we want genuine service.
Join us with your +1 (any family member) on October 29, 2021, 1โ4 pm, for the Talingkas: Voters Education as the SC Comelec together with AVR-Naga, conspire to provide the ADNU SHS Community an opportunity to be enlightened about the issues they need to know, and their roles as the heralds of democracy before fulfilling their right to suffrage.
