“Kami po ay nagpapasalamat sa kooperasyon at pakikipagtulungan ng ating mga kababayan na nagparehistro para makaboto sa darating na halalan. Ito ay hudyat ng maayos at matiwasay na halalan dito sa UAE sa 2022” said H.E. Hjayceelyn M. Quintana, Philippine Ambassador to the UAE.
Throughout the two-year time frame for voter’s registrations which started in 2019, Filipinos in the UAE have been responsible enough and mindful to adhere to the UAE’s preventive guidelines as they queued to register.
