The Notre Dame of
Dadiangas University participated as PPCRV (Parish Pastoral Council for
Responsible Voting) and citizen’s arm of Commission on Elections all throughout
the 2013 Elections last May 13, 2013 at Sarangani and South Cotabato Areas.
The General Santos City (PPCRV) was headed by Bro. Manuel V.
de Leon, FMS. A seminar was conducted and facilitated by Mr. Edwin Doyo and Mr.
Edgardo Claudio weeks before the elections regarding the functions of PPCRV and
they provided helpful information concerning the responsibilities and benefits of
those estimated 500 NDDU students, alumni, personnel and staff who volunteered
to be PPCRV members. The volunteers were assigned in different tasks such as poll
watchers, VAD and etc., they were also allocated to different remote areas to observe
and assure the just and fair duration of polls.
“Without the NSTP students that time, there will only be few volunteers
who joined the PPCRV aside from the personnel, alumni and others. However,
their participation was helpful in assisting the voters, collecting the votes
and other functions assigned to those PPCRV volunteers,” said Mr. Doyo.
Indeed, the Elections 2013 was held successful. New leaders
and new government will lead our country and the localities therein. The PPCRV
and the NDDU did a great job in upholding an unbiased election of the
Philippines as well as the areas of Sarangani and South Cotabato.
