The three months Commission on Election (COMELEC) has set for registration period for the May 2019 national and local mid-term election is almost culminating. Exactly ending on Sep. 29, we are encouraging the new blood, those who are vocal and discerning about today’s national issues, to register and exercise their right to vote.
