The Amateur Media Association of Philippine Scouts joins the call to #ExtendTheReg and make voter registration an essential activity.

As Scouts, it is our duty to our country to exercise our rights to suffrage. However, due to the quarantine restrictions implemented for the past few months, we’ve lost at least six months on the plotted schedule for voter registration.

The Commission on Elections extended the operational hours and days to cover these missed opportunities but this is not enough. Together with the #PHVote Coalition, here are our calls to the different government agencies.

  • Sa Comelec, na palawigin hanggang Enero 2022 ang voter registration period. Ito ang pinakasapat na panahon upang mabigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga Filipino na nais lumahok sa susunod na halalan. 
  • Sa COVID-19 Inter-agency Task Force, na ituring na essential activity ang voter registration upang maisagawa ito sa kabila ng community quarantine. Ang pagboto ay isa sa pinakamahalagang ambag ng mamamayan sa pagpapatibay ng demokrasya. 
  • Sa Department of Transportation, Department of Public Works and Highways, and mga pamahalaang lokal, na siguraduhing may sapat at maayos na pampublikong transportasyon at bukas na kalsada upang makarating at makauwi nang ligtas ang mga Filipino mula sa voter registration sites.
  • Sa Comelec, na siguruhing sumunod sa #ApatDapat health protocols ang lahat ng voters’ registration sites. Kasama rito ang sapat na bentilasyon, physical distancing, laging pagsusuot ng face mask, at maikling panahon ng pananatili sa lugar at posibleng exposure sa virus.
