MANILA, Philippines – The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) on Monday said it is in need of some 400 to 600 volunteers to help encode election returns from the May 13 mid-term elections.
“In the next 14 days, kailangan po natin ng mas maraming tulong pa sa ating mga kababayan, open po ito for all ages sa youth pati sa ating mga seniors as long as you’re available,” PPCRV Youth Ambassador and sports personality Chris Tiu said.
Tiu said those who are interested can send an email to ppcrv91@yahoo.com or send them a message through the PPCRV’s official Facebook page.
Those who are interested will have to go to the PPCRV Command Center located at the third floor of the Pope John XXIII Hall, Pope Pius XII Center, 1175 United Nations Avenue, Paco, Manila, Tiu added.
“As long as you can read and know how to use a computer, encode please share your time para sa bayan natin,” Tiu added.
PPCRV board member Paolo Domondon said that after the polls close by 6 p.m., the PPCRV is mandated to conduct the official parallel count, being the Commission on Election’s (Comelec) citizen’s arm.
“So makikita po natin ang data sa transparency server, at we are encouraging our PPCRV volunteers to secure the fourth copy of our election return para po ipadala dito sa courier sa command center,” Domondon said.
“And we will do a manual validation para makita po natin kung nagtutugma yung [election return] sa transparency server na makikita natin,” the board member added. (Editor: Gilbert S. Gaviola)
