Several celebrities and social media influencers have taken to Twitter to ask the Filipino people especially the youth to register and vote for the coming 2022 elections.
The celebrities’ reactions came after the recent historic win of former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris as the new President and Vice President of the United States respectively.
Biden and Harris’ victory against Donald Trump gave Filipinos a sign of relief that populist authoritarian leaders can be defeated and hope that the Philippines will experience the same in the next election.
Social media personality and influencer Macoy Dubs in his tweet said that election surveys may not be always correct thus asking everyone to register and vote because every vote counts.
“Survey’s aren’t always accurate. Philippines, may pag-asa pa. Register to vote! 2022 is near.”
