MALACANANG, Philippines – The Palace advised Filipino voters Saturday to vote early and cooperate with authorities to ensure honest, peaceful and credible election.
“Kahit ano man ang mangyari, ang kailangan po vote early,” Undersecretary Manuel Quezon III of the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office, said in a radio interview.
“Hanapin ang inyong presinto, siguraduhin na dala niyo ang inyong appropriate ID at kung meron kayong nakitang nakakabahala na bagay, i-report agad sa mga awtoridad dahil nasa interes nating lahat, kahit sino man ang pinupusuan nating kandidato, na maging malinis at kapanipaniwala ang resulta ng halalang ito.”
Quezon told dzRB Radyo Ng Bayan that Monday’s election is important because the next leader will set the direction for the country in the next six years.
“Ang hinaharap natin ay hindi lang ang magiging direksyon ng bayan sa susunod na anim na taon, kung ‘di ano ang mangyayari sa ating lipunan, sa ating bansa, sa ating ekonomiya, sa lahat sa atin sa darating na henerasyon. Dahil matindi po ang pinagpipilian natin dito,” he said.
It’s up to the people to choose whether they want to continue the reform agenda of the administration or support other candidates who offer a different approach in addressing the country’s challenges.
The Filipino public is obviously looking for a leader who listens, has a word of honor and will not steal public money, according to Quezon.
“Sa pagpapasya natin sa darating na eleksyon, kailangan natin ng dalawang bagay, hindi lamang ang puso, kung ‘di ang pag-iisip, kailangan natin tandaan na kung ano ang magiging boto natin, may epekto ito sa ating mga mahal sa buhay at sa ating minamahal na bayan.”
President Aquino has been campaigning for administration candidates asking the people for the continuity of his “Daang Matuwid” agenda.
Administration candidates will hold their Miting de Avance in Quezon City Saturday evening in their last ditch effort to appeal to voters for Monday’s voting.
