Dear Brothers & Sisters:

Attached is a letter from our Coalition Partner (Eleksyon 2022 Koalisyon), a non-partisan group promoting election related activities such as voters registration and education; as well as programs to help ensure a free and honest election in May 2022.

The coalition is getting organized in the local areas and we encourage our DCLs and NLAs to support their effort in reaching out to our members as well others in our circle of influence.

We hope you will give your full cooperation and support when our coalition partners connect with you.

Thank you very much and let us be one in doing our share for the future of our country.

May God bless us all!

Sincerely in the service of the Lord,

Dear Madams/Sirs:

Greetings!We cannot be more grateful and proud to have your organization as among the conveners of Eleksyon 2022 Koalisyon (E22K). We thank you for your support in the successful public information and awareness campaign to drive up voter registration, which culminated in our May 22, 2021 online launch event. The next step is for us to undertake activities on the ground, which may include voter registration drives and awareness campaigns in the localities and rendering assistance to citizens who will register or reactivate their registration. The latter can be done through coordinating with COMELEC and LGUs in proposing and organizing satellite registrations, providing transportation to registrants, assisting registrants to accomplish forms, by providing safe venues for offsite registration, etc.

While COMELEC may have publicly reported that the number of registrants is already near the target it has set, we believe that we have to continue pursuing our efforts. We have to make people realize the importance of their power as sovereigns in choosing our leaders. Besides, only very few of the 7 million whose registrations have been deactivated for failing to vote in two preceding elections, have so far reactivated their registration.

Your nationwide reach is vital to E22K’s goal of reaching as many of our fellow citizens as possible in our voter registration drive for the upcoming May 9, 2022 National and Local Elections. It is in this regard that we are requesting your network in the regions to assist in the conduct of E22K activities on the ground. We would also appreciate to have your network be our reference on the ground in coordinating and monitoring our activities. We are ready to reach out to your network to discuss other possible activities on the ground and to conduct briefings on updates and trainings. Thank you so much.
