Sixty-one student leaders from the colleges and universities in Dumaguete City assured to embark on voters' education activities in campuses, for the May 9 elections. The student leaders gave their assurance yesterday during the voters' education and orientation, conducted by the Diocesan Electoral Board of the Diocese of Dumaguete at the Marian Priests' Center in Dumaguete. This is the first activity of the DEB as it gears up for the coming polls, placing emphasis on voters' education to guide the electorate in choosing the next set of leaders by voting with a conscience and not selling their votes, DEB convenor, Msgr. Julius Heruela, said. DAILY STAR: Negros Oriental Good to see them trying to educate voters. Let's hope some of it sticks and results in "more" honest elections and helps to get "better" politicians elected so they can make the changes and planning that Dumaguete needs.
Sounds good, but should the clergy be involved in guiding how people should vote, or am I just reading this wrong.
No KC you are not reading it wrong, for some strange reason it is Always the Church that gets involved with Elections, Why? maybe deep down they really still do run the country, makes you Wonder EH?
It will all boil down to the same thing as usual,who pays the most gets a vote. Atleast they're trying to do something though.
