Voters Education

Many Filipinos have given
up hope for the Philippines.

Take heart.
We should be the first to know
that God created the Filipino
nation for a purpose.
The Philippines has a destiny.
God ordained its destiny

long ago, before He created it.
God, prior to creating the
Philippines , had set what our
nation's purposes will be. He had
already predetermined how the
Philippines will be a blessing to
other nations. This is called our
DESTINY.
The Philippine Land
made up of 7,107 islands
total land area of 300,780 square
kilometers
as large as Italy, larger than New Zealand
& Britain and is strategically located
The Philippine Resources
Vast, fertile agricultural land - 18M hectares
(only 1/3 is cultivated)
Teeming biodiversity on seas and land
(our reefs support over 2,500 kinds of fish &
600 kinds of Coral - a world record.)
Vast reserves of different energy resources
(Deuterium, fuel of the future )
The Philippine Name
•1521 - Magellan gave the name "Archipelago of St.
Lazarus"
•1542 - Villalobos gave the name "Islas Filipinas"
Named after King Philip who had a missionary heart
"If there were only one person there to keep the
name of Jesus alive, I would send missionaries from
Spain to spread His Gospel. Looking for mines or
precious metals is not the only business of kings"
- King Philip
The Philippine Destiny
Like Lazarus, we are destined to die…
And we are destined to RISE again!
Like Philip, we are destined to bear
Christ’s name…
We are destined to light the world!
The time to RISE is..
Be a part of our history…
Be involved in our…

What qualities should I look for?
R - Righteous Governance
I - Integrity
G - Giftedness
H - Heart
T - Track Record
R - Righteous Governance
•How does your candidate decide on issues?
•How does he lead his family, constituents?
•Does he/she make decisions that promote justice,
righteousness and peace for all law-abiding Filipinos?
•Does he/she use his influence as a platform for
governing with prudence and foresight for the good of
many?
•A candidate who governs righteously does not accept
or offer bribes, and leads an example of eradicating
graft and corruption within his area of influence.
I - Integrity
•A person of integrity is not a perfect individual;
•rather,
he or she is someone who desires to be
accountable to those he leads.
•Hiswalk should match his talk, and his public image
must not be a result of a clever media makeover, but
should be based on a solid character of trustworthiness.
•If and when he/she makes wrong decisions, he/she
must be willing to take responsibility for it and not put
the blame on his predecessors, or other people.
G - Giftedness
•Acandidate for a public office must have the qualifications
and abilities necessary to carry out his/her responsibilities
successfully.
•Acandidate must also have the strengths, personality traits
and innate capabilities needed to serve in the particular office
he/she seeks to serve in.
•Some candidates will be good as executives but will make
for mediocre lawmakers or legislators, and vice versa. Others
will be great managers, but will not be as effective in drug
busting. Still others are visionaries who can inspire greatness
in those they lead, but will fail as implementers of their
dreams.
H - Heart
•How is your candidate’s heart for God, for people and for our
nation?
•Does he/she see himself/herself as answerable not only to people,
but to Someone infinitely higher than him/her?
•The heart, in my opinion, is the most important characteristic not
only of a leader but also of every single citizen of this country.
•Thisis true because the heart of the problem of this nation is the
problem of the heart.
•Genuine change should come from the inside out.
•To have genuine reform Jesus said, “I am the way…”
T – Track Record
•Look for your candidate’s track record in a previously
held public office.
•Ifhe/she is entering politics for the first time, consider
how this candidate has proven himself/herself in his
chosen profession or area of expertise before running
for office.
•You need to also be informed about your candidate’s
track record in the other points of the guidelines I have
just explained to you.
•Do you see a good pattern of righteous governance,
integrity, giftedness and heart?
What is the value of your vote?
• equal chance for a vote,

whether rich or poor
It is priceless!
• guaranteed opportunity to
participate
Your vote will mean:
• better services from the executive

• better policies and laws from the legislative
• a brighter future for us, Filipinos
What should I do?
• Pray for the election, the COMELEC, the

candidates and the voters
• Organize /attend Candidate’s Forum to know
their programs, track record and platforms
• Rally your community to vote right
• Help educate your friends to Vote RIGHT.
• Vote RIGHT
