Image
To uphold the principles of fair and free elections, a multi-sectoral group gives its support to the Commission on Elections’ (Comelec) Kontra-Bigay campaign, as it takes the lead with #MineAngBotoKo, a disruptive and high-visibility social movement and civic campaign directly targeting vote-selling and vote-buying. Recognizing the need for innovative approaches, the movement is designed for platforms where influence thrives—social media and livestream commerce. #MineAngBotoKo avoids lectures and speaks the language of live selling to engage the 21.87 million Gen Z voters expected to turn out in the upcoming midterm elections.
