PPCRV to deploy PWD volunteers on election day

Even persons with disabilities will play an important role in helping ensure the May 13 elections are clean, by being deployed to polling centers.

 

The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting said the PWDs will be part of its 350,000 volunteers nationwide, radio dzBB reported Monday. 

 

PPCRV chairperson Henrietta de Villa did not immediately say how many PWD volunteers the PPCRV has, but said they may be deployed to areas where there are many registered PWDs.

 

On Sunday, de Villa said its 350,000 volunteers, including 70,000 frontliners, are ready for poll watching duties. 

 

She said the 70,000 volunteers should be wearing PPCRV shirts and IDs as they have to enhance their visibility at help desks and polling places.

 

The PPCRV is a deputized citizens' arm of the Commission on Elections in ensuring the integrity of the May 13 elections. —KG, GMA News
