Gabay-Halalan 2007

THE DREAM OF AN ENLIGHTENED ELECTORATE IS JUST A PHONE CALL AWAY.

Greetings of Hope!

Starting 1 May 2004, access to election related information is just five numbers away -- 101-49. For the first time in the history of our national elections, anyone can call 101-49 from a PLDT landline anywhere in the Philippines for free, to talk to a tele-educator about the following:

• · candidates’ profiles and stand on issues
• · party-list information
• · your precinct number
• · information for first time voters
• · information on how to get involved in the elections
• · where to get election resources from
• · exit polls
• · inquire about election related legal matters

This service is especially helpful for people who do not have access to the internet, doesn’t understand English or cannot read since a live person will be the one providing callers with the information they need to make an informed vote. Calls will be entertained from 1 May to 10 May, 9:00am to 9:00pm. Data used for the call center have been gathered from various websites with information provided by the different political parties, and researches conducted by Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan (SLB).

This project is called the Gabay-Halalan 101-49. It is spearheaded by Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan (SLB) and Professionals Actively Responding Today (PART) in cooperation with PLDT and Christian Life Community of the Philippines (CLCP).

Please inform everyone that the dream of an enlightened electorate is just a phone call away.

Tell them to dial 101-49!
