Dubai-based Pinoys register for OAV

Filipinos based in Dubai took the opportunity to register for the Overseas Absentee Voting that would enable them to participate in the 2013 midterm elections in the Philippines.

“Ito ay isang magandang sensyales na talagang interesado sila at gustong-gusto nilang makiaalam sa darating na halalan,” said Vice Consul Gerry Suliguin.

The OAV registration was conducted during the Philippine Independence Day celebration.

The program was also supported by the Filipino Community in Dubai and Northern Emirates.

“This time, we are supporting the government's campaign for overseas absentee voting," said Alan Bacason, the group’s president.

The OAV registration will end on October 31.
