NAGA CITY – The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) in the Archdiocese of Caceres officially launched its mission for the upcoming 2025 Elections in a solemn liturgical celebration held at the Archbishop’s Residence last February 12, with Most Rev. Rex Andrew C. Alarcon, D.D., Archbishop of Caceres and PPCRV National Spiritual Director, as presider. The said event gathered the clergy, lay leaders and volunteers in a unified commitment to uphold clean, honest, accurate, meaningful, and peaceful (CHAMP) elections.
A highlight of the said launch was the introduction of a digital volunteer recruitment initiative through a QR Code System. This initiative aims to encourage wider participation, making registration accessible through the Facebook pages of the Archdiocese of Caceres, Caritas-Caceres (Naga), Inc., various parish pages, and PPCRV promotional materials.
As the accredited citizens’ arm of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in the Archdiocese of Caceres, PPCRV remains steadfast in its mission to promote voter awareness and ensure credible elections through transparency and community participation. The upcoming activities of PPCRV Caceres are as follows: PPCRV Vicarial Orientations on March 22, March 29 and April 5; Parish Orientations from March 22-April 6; and Candidates’ Forum on April 23 for Mayoral and Gubernatorial Candidates, April 25 for Congressional Candidates of Districts 1-3, and April 28 for Congressional Candidates of Districts 4-5.
The launch was also attended by representatives of the Caceres PPCRV Core Team led by Rev. Fr. Marcel Emmanuel DP. Real, Archdiocesan PPCRV Coordinator; Rev. Fr. Erwin B. Bismonte, Assistant Director of Caritas Caceres; Elmer Sto. Domingo, Executive Director of the Caceres Commission on Communications Development (CCD); and Edna S. Tejada, PPCRV Lay Coordinator. Other members include Maria Theresa Avenido-Arbo, Ellen S. Pena, PPCRV facilitators and counselors, Cherry S. Kimson and Theresa E. Medina along with over 60 PPCRV volunteers. The Holy Rosary Minor Seminary Community was also present during the said occasion.
