Filipinos urged to register for elections

The Philippine Consulate has reminded Filipinos in UAE to register for the upcoming Philippine general elections, following the extension of registration for overseas voting until October 14.

Paul Raymund Cortes, Philippine consul-general, said: “By participating in the elections, we have the power to make decisions that can affect our community and our country.

“It is both a right and civic duty of every Filipino citizen to vote. In May 2022, we will choose leaders who will assume important roles in charting the course of the future of the Philippines.”
