The webinar discussed the voter’s education which is in timing because the 2022 national election is

near. They discuss the right of suffrage which gives everyone the opportunity to vote without
unreasonable restrictions. I am happy that we have a right just like this because it shows the democracy
and freedom of every one of us unlike other countries like North Korea that have dictatorship
government. I learned the three branches of government which are the legislative who makes the law,
executive who carries the law and judicial who evaluates the law. This ensure that every law is process
fairly. The election period is the most important date because it holds what will happen to our country.
People are crucial in election because they are the ones who will vote. The election process was catching
up with modernity and technology COMELEC is using machines instead of manual checking of ballots.

Growing up in the Philippines, I can't help but notice that voting is often based on a candidate's
personality and popularity. Wherein the faces and posters of the candidates scattered throughout the
streets giving little to no indication of what they truly stand for, that leads to the citizens not knowing
any information about them and just continue to rely on their popularity. Another thing is that people
my age do not have education about proper citizenship, democracy, policy, legislation, and all the things
related to elections and voting before our time to vote comes, aside from the internet that is often full
of disinformation.

At present, being a first-time voter, I honestly don’t have much knowledge about the process and steps
to take on voting. Fortunately, through this seminar I was able to understand and gain information on
the upcoming election extensively.

Considering our current state, the 2022 election will most likely be one of the crucial elections in our
country's history. As a new set of leaders will emerge and take responsibility for lifting the Philippines
upward and forward after the economic slump caused by the pandemic. Participating in this forum
indeed helped me have a profound understanding regarding this matter. Thus, it opened my eyes to
the various aspects that highly require attention.

Being a voter is not just a mere right for us citizens but also a responsibility, which we should carry out.
Hand in hand, we must amplify each other's voices for us to be heard and let everyone know who has
the true power, and put in mind what Mr. Robi Domingo said that goes "Ang pagboto ay pagmarka sa
kasaysayan ng Pilipinas."
