September 20, 2021: Manila, Philippines — Leading LGBT+ business organization
The Philippine LGBT Chamber of Commerce (PLCC) has recently announced its
partnership with Impact Hub Manila, the Philippine branch of the largest global
network of entrepreneurs and innovators, for voters’ education campaign “Vote
Pilipinas”.
In partnership with the Commission on Elections, Vote Pilipinas (https://
votepilipinas.com) is a non-profit, non-partisan volunteer-driven project that will serve as
a resource for the latest updates about voters’ registration and the 2022 elections.
The initiative aims to provide accessible and verifiable information to ensure that
Filipinos are updated with news concerning the upcoming 2022 elections.
As the official LGBT+ partner of Vote Pilipinas, PLCC aims to elevate the LGBT+
community’s involvement in national policy-making, through its active presence in the
electoral process.
Since 2016, PLCC has been supporting responsible citizenship by encouraging the
public to register and exercise their right to universal suffrage. During the last
presidential elections, PLCC mounted its very first project, “#LGBTVotePH”, which
assessed the presidential candidates’ stance on LGBT+ issues.
