https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfHXHZlxWAs We launched our 2025 PPCRV COMMAND CENTER on the 2nd floor of PLDT Sampaloc Office España corner Macaraig Street Sampaloc, Manila. This will be the home of our Unofficial Parallel count where we will be showing local and national election returns in real time.  We will also be auditing the integrity of the transmitted vote where we will be comparing the transmitted election return against the physical pre-transmission election return printed out by automated counting machines nationwide. We are grateful to Manny V Pangilinan, PLDT ePLDT Smart for opening up their PLDT Sampaloc office for our use, for providing election paraphernalia, connectivity and mobile phones for use in the field and in our Command Centers.  The group was represented by PLDT Enterprise MVP Blums Pineda. We thank AMA Educational System for the computers that we will be using in our Unofficial Parallel Count. AMA is also supporting PPCRV’s TIBOK PINOY values formation program by including it in their online educational platform. H.E. Ambassador Amable Aguiluz V joined us in cutting the ribbon.  We thank Globaltronics President Mr. William Guido for the giant LED screens which will be showing national and local election results in real time.  Join us and volunteer!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiEcSFijCYM&t=4s MANILA, Philippines – Why should the youth care about the 2025 midterm elections anyway? Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) Executive Director Jude Liao shared how the youth can be a vital force in ensuring a “CHAMP” (clean, honest, accurate, meaningful, and peaceful) elections. “In the next 5 to 10 years, tayo na ang mamumuno. Tayo na ang makikinabang sa mga desisyon na gagawin natin, lalong-lalo na tuwing eleksiyon,” said Liao in the video.  (In the next 5 to 10 years, we’ll be the next leaders. The youth will benefit from the choices we’ll make especially during this election.) There are 68.4 million registered voters in the upcoming 2025 midterm elections, 20 million of whom are Generation Z voters, born between 1997 and 2012, according to data from the Commission on Elections.
