Public urged to vote

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Various local groups and religious sectors called on the public to “go out and vote” as the midterm elections are set today, Monday.

“Go out and vote wisely. Your vote, our future. Today is when we all decide and participate in re-shaping Pampanga in the coming years. It all lies in the hands of the Kapampangan voters,” said Rene Romero, Vice Chairman of the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc.

Kapampangans from three cities and 19 towns are expected to troop to some 1,647 precincts Monday to exercise their right to suffrage.

Archbishop Paciano Aniceto advised voters to “seek the guidance of the Lord in making their choices.”

“We must pray and seek light from our Good Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ, in choosing our future leaders, as He is the one true Divine Leader. Let us also pray that election day will be peaceful and orderly,” he said.

Meanwhile, a team of foreigners will observe the conduct of elections in the province Monday. This is a part of the International Observers’ Mission (IOM) organized by the Compact for Peaceful and Democratic Elections (Compact).

More than 30 foreign members of the IOM, dubbed as the International Team Bantay, hail from 16 different countries namely Sweden, Denmark, USA, Japan, Australia, Germany, Spain, Burma, The Netherlands, Thailand, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

Five other teams will also be deployed to Cagayan, Camarines Sur, Masbate, Cebu, and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

According to Compact national coordinator Arnold Tarrobago, the foreign observers are in the country to monitor the first election under the “Tuwid na Daan” administration of President Benigno Aquino III.

Tarrobago said certain “iconic” electoral contests drew the interests of the foreign observers. He noted the electoral races between Ed Panlilio and Lilia Pineda in Pamapanga, Leni Robredo and Nelly Villafuerte in Camarines Sur, and gubernatorial race of Masbate between Fr. Leo Casas and the Kho and Lanete clans, among others.

“These local races are very significant in our political history. It’s a contest between those perceived as carrying a reformist platform and those candidates seen as belonging to longtime political families,” Tarrobago said.

“The observers are curious as to how these local dynamics can shape the political culture of the people in the area,” he added.

Compact said the observers’ mission, which will last for 10 days, will include a general orientation, press briefing, and planning for local monitoring.

“They will stay for five days, including elections day, in the local areas. Prior to the elections, the international observers are given an in-depth orientation on the local political situation, and are accompanied by local host organizations in conducting interviews with different political players and election stakeholders,” Tarrobago said
