The Commission on Elections (Comelec) gears up for the upcoming National and Local Elections (NLE) by initiating a series of comprehensive training programs for its field personnel. Chairman George Erwin Garcia recently announced the schedule of the NLE trainings, emphasizing the critical role they play in ensuring the smooth and efficient conduct of the elections.
The NLE trainings, commencing on January 27 and extending until May, are designed to equip field officials with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively carry out their duties. The first phase of the training, set to take place at Diamond Hotel, will focus on Training of Trainers, with subsequent sessions dedicated to various aspects such as deployment, finance, contingency planning, and the utilization of essential materials and peripherals.
Chairman Garcia emphasized the significance of these face-to-face briefings, highlighting that this would be the final opportunity to provide comprehensive training before the elections. The trainings will also extend to certifiers from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), encompassing vital areas such as Geographic Information (GI) operations and the Automated Centralized Canvassing and Consolidation System (ACMCCS).
The training
schedule outlined by Chairman Garcia paints a clear picture of the meticulous
preparations being undertaken by Comelec. The upcoming months will witness a
flurry of activities aimed at preparing field personnel for their roles in the
electoral process. From Training of Trainers phases to specialized sessions for
DOST certifiers and various stakeholders, the comprehensive training program
reflects Comelec's commitment to ensuring a well-prepared and capable workforce
for the upcoming elections.
As highlighted by Chairman Garcia, the NLE trainings will cover a wide array of topics, including technical support, certification processes for electoral boards, engagement with vulnerable sectors such as persons deprived of liberty (PDL), indigenous peoples (IP), and persons with disabilities (PWD), as well as specialized training for law enforcement agencies.
The meticulous planning and execution of these training programs underscore Comelec's dedication to upholding the integrity and efficiency of the electoral process. By equipping field personnel with the necessary expertise and knowledge, Comelec aims to ensure that the NLE is conducted with utmost professionalism and adherence to established protocols.
With a busy
schedule ahead, encompassing multiple phases of training leading up to the
elections in May, Comelec remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering a
well-prepared and capable workforce. The comprehensive NLE trainings stand as a
testament
