The Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi as well as the Philippine Consulate General for Dubai and the Northern Emirates calls on Filipino expats to make their votes count as the election period draws to a close this coming May 13, 2019.
Ambassador Hjayceelyn Quintana and Consul General Paul Raymund Cortes urges Filipinos to practice their right to vote as they participate in a crucial, nation-building exercise that’s participated by all Filipinos around the world.
“As overseas Filipinos, your vote is significant and important because this would have an impact on your and your families back home,” said Quintana.
“The voices of global diaspora of Filipinos must be heard especially as choosing our leaders and strategizing the trajectory of our national soul is concerned,” furthers Cortes.
