MANILA — Nine months before the 2025 midterm polls, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) on Wednesday signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for voter education.
Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia said that under the MOA, voter education would be integrated into the TESDA curriculum.
“Dito po…’yung integration ng voter education sa curriculum na ino-offer ng TESDA,” Garcia said in his speech during the MOA signing.
TESDA Director General Secretary Suharto Mangundadatu led the TESDA delegation.
Garcia, who led the Comelec delegation, said voter education will be promoted through pre-taped seminars, and orientations on the registration process and requirements for voters participating in the national and local elections in 2025.
“Hindi kaya ng Comelec na isagawa ang halalan ng isa lang…The business of election is not only the business of Comelec, but the business of the entire country. There should be a whole of nation approach when it comes to elections,” the poll body chief explained.
