Executive Summary

The 2016 Presidential Elections is the specter that haunts the Philippines. The
candidates for the Presidential Elections have pressed on each advocacy against the
other. For each election year, the economy is strengthened by the outflow of money
spent by political parties and supporters of many candidates, especially those running
for national government positions.
The voting pattern of the Filipino voters is not measured by which political party
they support but is actually personality-based. The Presidential candidates for the 2016
National Elections belong to the different political parties of the Philippine political
system which caters a multi-party system, opposite a two-party system like that of the
United States of America, and a one-party system of the Peoples Republic of China.
Looking back at the list of former Philippine presidents, the trend has been
leading towards voting for the most popular candidate. The highest government position
in the Philippines has been possessed by a famous Filipino action star who neither had
enough experience nor ample knowledge on how to run a three-branched democratic
government.
The campaign proposed in this work focuses on informing the voting population,
as well as the whole Filipino nation about the advocacies, platforms, and government
programs of each candidate. As a democratic government, this campaign entitled Boto
Mo, Boses Mo, Filipinos will have an avenue to air their concerns about the platforms
of the candidates. Filipinos will also have the chance to ask their questions addressed
to the candidates, whatever they may be. Boto Mo, Boses Mo will be the channel of

common Filipinos to know more about the issues of the society and the government,
and it will tackle each issue, highlighting the stand of every candidate.
Public service is a public trust. The government officials that the voters elect are
accountable to their constituents. The power exercised by the officials emanate from
each vote that allowed them to be put in the exercise of such power. It is important that
the Filipinos be informed of the endeavors of the candidates, as each program will affect
each of their lives one way or another.
Voters education is essential in achieving a successful and clean election. It
does not start with deciding who among the candidates would one vote, nor end in
going to ones voting precinct and cast their vote. The campaign Boto Mo, Boses Mo
focuses on encouraging each Filipino to be aware of the actions and propagandas of
the candidates before and after the very Election Day.
The main objective of the Boto Mo, Boses Mo is to cultivate a better
understanding of the Filipino voters, and the society as a whole, of the culture of
intelligent voting, and harnessing a Filipino voting behavior that emphasizes individual
responsibility in promoting awareness and encouraging sincere and informed-voting.
It is high time that the corrupt practices of dirty politicians be ended. Through this
campaign, Filipinos will have more knowledge on what possible violations of the
Election Code are the candidates in their localities could be committing. It is also time
that Filipinos have the courage to step up and know their rights when voting.
It is with high hopes that the campaign Boto Mo, Boses Mo could bring about
change in the voting behavior of the Filipino voters. The impracticable practices of
voting by popularity and not making educated votes shall be avoided. The sanctity of

someones right to suffrage will be protected and be exercised with faith and hope of a
better future for every generation.
