Kapamilya stars register to vote
MANILA, Philippines - Kapamilya stars responded to the call for action in the 2010 elections by becoming active citizens in a special voter registration mounted by ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. in partnership with the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
“The special voter registration aims to encourage people to register and exercise their right to vote,” said Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications Division.
Rayver Cruz, Rodjun Cruz, Cass Ponti, Princess Ryan, Josef Elizalde, Cris Pastor, Pokwang, Valerie Concepcion, Erik Santos, Mark Bautista, Angelica Panganiban, Shaina Magdayao, Mariel Rodriguez, Nikki Gil, Enchong Dee, Kim Chiu, and Diether Ocampo took time off from their busy schedules to register and appealed to the public to do the same.
Nikki Gil looks forward to casting her vote for the first time next year.
“Now, more than ever, we have to make a stand and move. No one else will do this for us and for our country,” said Nikki. “And on a personal level, I can say that I now have the right to complain because I feel that I actually have made a contribution to this nation by registering and voting,” she added.
Another first-time voter, Enchong Dee, believes there will always be hope for the country as long as people will do their civil duties.
Voter registration is until today.
