The Consulate General of the Republic of the Philippines in Dubai and N. Emirates held a mobile Overseas Absentee Voting registration at The Philippine School (TPS) last 23 October upon invitation from the School Organization for Social Studies Enthusiasts of the MAKABAYAN Department.

Aside from expression of support for the OAVR, Li Naedean L. Divino, Club President, stated in her letter the club’s belief “that the only way for genuine democracy to work is for citizens to exercise their sacred right to vote”.

The club launched a campaign through letters, posters, and classroom visits to encourage parents of TPS students to register as well as the school administrator, faculty and staff.

The registration lasted from 9am-4pm with at least 75 participating.
