The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) has partnered with PLDT mobile arm Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) for its aim to mobilize youth volunteers to serve as poll watchers in the upcoming national elections. An accredited citizens’ arm of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), PPCRV is a national parish-based political but non-partisan lay movement that promotes clean, honest, accurate, meaningful, and peaceful elections.
As part of their partnership, Smart is providing logistical support for PPCRV to engage and empower more youth volunteers across the country. To help with the connectivity needs of the organization, Smart has also set up a dedicated mobile hotline for PPCRV at 09287008222. Smart has also turned over mobile phones and committed monthly prepaid load assistance to the election watchdog as well as donated over 390,000 shirts, which will serve as the official uniform of PPCRV volunteers. “Smart has been an invaluable partner to PPCRV through the years. Once again, Smart stands side by side with PPCRV to ensure Clean, Honest, Accurate, Meaningful and Peaceful elections. Our volunteers nationwide are truly grateful for your support,” said PPCRV Chairperson Myla Villanueva.
Smart’s support for PPCRV is in line with its various efforts to inspire the Filipino youth to live their passion with purpose. “It is an honor for Smart to support PPCRV in its noble mission to promote clean and peaceful elections. We believe in the critical role of poll volunteers – especially the youth – in fulfilling this mission, and we hope that through this collaboration, we would be able to encourage more young Filipinos to direct their passion into positive action and simply live smart and vote smart,” said Smart Communications Senior Vice President and Consumer Wireless Business Head Jane J. Basas.
Interested volunteers may directly coordinate with the PPCRV coordinator in their parish. Aside from poll watching at precincts, PPCRV volunteers may also express their preference in other assignments including Voter’s Education, Voters’ List Cleansing and Verification, Voters’ Assistance Desk, Election Monitoring System Encoders, Logistics for Food and Supplies, and Transportation and Communications among others.

In line with TV5’s advocacy to inform, educate, and encourage voters to make responsible and guided decisions in the upcoming May 2022 elections, the network has expanded its comprehensive and in-depth Bilang Pilipino 2022 election campaign to include the #BotantengFrontliner call to action. #BotantengFrontliner reflects the courage and bravery of Filipino voters – just as front liners leave the comfort of their homes to help the country survive the pandemic, voters walk to polling centers to help the Philippines move toward a better future.
TV5 has initiated this advocacy campaign to encourage viewers to become well-informed, responsible, and conscientious voters. Anchored on the current News5 tagline “Ngayong halalan, lahat dapat nasa frontline,” the campaign encourages Filipinos to take a more proactive and thoughtful approach in defining the direction and future of the country. With this, #BotantengFrontliner embodies the Filipino voter’s commitment to be “Mapanuri, mapagmatyag, at may paninidigan sa kaniyang boto". The #BotantengFrontliner campaign rolls out in a series of activities, including the “Anong Klaseng Botante Sila?” and “Anong Klaseng Botante Ka?” phases – the first one points Botanteng Fronliners to the Bilang Pilipino 2022 website to access important facts and information (Know Your Candidates 101), while the second one features News5’s distinguished roster of news anchors who will define every aspect of a Botanteng Fronliner.
Last but not least is the Paghahanda Series where the network will give voters helpful tips and guides to survive the election season and breeze through the voting process on election day. In the upcoming elections, everyone is expected to be critical and responsible voters who make informed decisions for the good of the country – everything a #BotantengFronliner should be.
