00:00 [News Anchor] "The reason for the national TV to be here is because the Commission on Elections brought their program, Register Anywhere. According to the Comlec, they want to make sure that the people of the media will be able to vote. They are also fixing the possibility of local absentee voting for the 2025 elections. Luisa Erispe with the details."
00:21 [News Anchor] "Ellen has not been able to vote for more than 10 years. She admitted that since her registration as a voter was deactivated, it became harder for her to be able to reactivate. Aside from being far away, she is busy with work as a member of the media and government. But now, she will be able to vote in the 2025 national and local elections."
00:46 "Sometimes, the line to the registration centers is very long. Because you have a lot of work to do at home, there's not much time. After so many years that I haven't been able to vote, at least I can reactivate my voter's ID card."
01:07 Ellen is one of the many employees of People's Television Network that will be able to vote again after a few decades. She's not alone in the country's election.
01:17 This is because Comlec brought the PTV for registration. Instead of going to Comlec offices, the PTV opened a satellite registration in the main building of the PTV.
01:30 "Of course, we love the PTV. It's a station of our government. But at the same time, the location of the PTV is beautiful. It's where the other agencies of the government, the Philippine Information Agency, the APO and other partner agencies of the PTV are located.
01:46 It's just around the area. I hope that the gate of the PTV will be opened for the employees of other offices of the government."
01:55 The general manager of the PTV said that GMA Napuod knows the importance of the voting of employees, especially the rights of each employee.
02:05 That's why she wanted to reactivate the majority and register the unvoted. GMA Napuod served as an example to the PTV employees and also activated her registration.
02:18 "We recognize the problem of the election. Because they are busy, they cannot perform their important right as a Filipino, which is to vote.
02:30 That's why we did this, so that we can bring the services of the Comelec here and register your registration, so that you will not be affected by your work.
02:49 We invite the PIA, APO and other offices to come here to register.
03:00 This is part of our program for our 50th year anniversary. The SSS and the love for voluntary contributions for our COS was the first. Now, we thought of helping our employees to reactivate or to fix their voter registration."
03:24 Aside from the employees of the PTV, the satellite registration is open to the government agencies. It's only 8 in the morning. It's time to register.
03:36 "The office is just in front of us. Because the municipality is far from us. So, we have to wait for the leave to register. This is within the premises."
03:51 "It's busy. If there's time, the line is very long. Sometimes, it's boring and hot in the barangay. We just go home if the line is long.
04:01 There are many people who are waiting to register. Here, it's fast. If you fill in the form, you just need to follow the ID and it's done."
04:11 As of now, COMELEC has exceeded its target of registering three million voters. But it's expected to increase because the registration will last until September.
04:23 COMELEC said that aside from registration, so that the media can vote, they are also arranging for the availability of local absentee voting or early voting for the 2025 elections.
04:38 "We will try. We will look for the 2025 elections. Maybe we can expand this. It means that even if our cameramen and other media people are not reporters,
04:51 they can vote because we want it to be more extensive and it's better because voting for local absentee voting is earlier.
04:59 Especially, the duties of the media members during the election are more important."
