MANILA, Philippines — The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) on Tuesday launched its command center for the historic Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Barmm) parliamentary elections on Sept. 14.
During a ceremony, the PPCRV and the Ama Education System signed a memorandum of agreement formalizing their partnership for the PPCRV-Ama command center in Makati City.
The PPCRV is the citizen arm of the Commission on Elections. It is a nongovernment group tasked with safeguarding the integrity of elections through an unofficial parallel count, or the manual auditing and checking of votes.
