Monday, October 29, 2007 Arroyo urges Pinoys to go out and vote
PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is calling on all registered voters to exercise their constitutional right to suffrage by voting for their barangay and Sanggguniang Kabataan (SK) leaders on Monday.
Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said the President has stressed the importance of the barangay and SK elections as these are the frontline offices of government and the very first organizations that people go to for assistance.
Bunye appealed to all voters to exercise utmost discretion on choosing candidates and to base their decisions on qualified people who can genuinely help in moving the barangay and the youth forward to prosperity and unity.
Arroyo is scheduled to vote in her hometown of Lubao, Pampanga Monday morning.
After voting, she will fly to Dumaguete City to speak at the National Conference on Integrated Taxation System (Itax) at the Oriental Negros Convention Center.
