"The dream of an enlightened electorate may just be a phone call away".
Starting May 1, 2007, access to UNBIASED, RELEVANT election related
information is just five numbers away...10-149. The first-ever Gabay Halalan call center
dedicated to helping our voters make enlightened choices will once again serve the Filipino
people this 2007 elections. Callers anywhere from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao can
simply pick up the phone and dial 10-149 from a PLDT landline FOR FREE (not even long
distance charges) to talk to a tele-educator about:
• candidates' profiles and stand on issues
• party-list information
• your precinct
• information for first time voters
• information on how to get involved in the elections
• inquire about election related legal matters
• report election related incidents i.e. prohibited acts
• other election information which we can look up for you -- except
whom to vote for :>
This service is especially helpful for Filipinos who do not have
access to the internet or cannot read since a live person will be the one providing you with
the information you need. Calls will be entertained from May 1 to May 15, 9:00am to
9:00pm.
The Gabay-Halalan 10-149 call center is spearheaded by Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan and Life Academy in cooperation with PLDT.
*Gabay Halalan is still in need of Metro Manila-based volunteers who
would like to be tele-educators. Please call SLB at 426-6101 loc 3440 or 10-149 or text 09263041826 to volunteer for election tele-education work or for other involvements in VforCE: Volunteers for Clean Elections.
