With the May 2025 elections fast approaching, all eyes are on the Commission on Elections (Comelec) as it ensures a smooth, credible, and transparent electoral process. At the forefront of this mission is Comelec Chairman George Erwin M. Garcia, a respected legal expert and public servant committed to strengthening democratic processes in the Philippines.
Chairman
Garcia’s leadership is pivotal in addressing key electoral concerns, from
enhancing the automated election system and implementing security measures to
combating misinformation and increasing voter participation. His proactive
stance in improving voter education and ensuring the integrity of the election
process reflects Comelec’s commitment to upholding democracy.
As part of
his efforts to keep the public informed, Chairman Garcia will headline the
first-ever Kapihan sa Makati, organized by TopNewsAsia, on March 13, 2025, at
The E Hotel Makati. This landmark event provides a timely and essential
platform for open dialogue, where journalists, policymakers, and stakeholders
can directly engage with the Comelec chief.
The Kapihan,
hosted by PIA Regional Director Emver Cortez and TopNewsAsia writer Andria
Terese Bondad Nicolas, will tackle pressing election-related issues, including
voter registration progress, electoral security, advancements in automation,
and strategies to combat election-related disinformation.
This
initiative by TopNewsAsia reinforces the vital role of media in fostering
transparency and accountability in the electoral process. As the first of many
Kapihan forums, it sets the stage for meaningful discussions that shape public
awareness and policy direction.
With
Chairman Garcia at the helm, the May 2025 elections are poised to be more
transparent, inclusive, and secure. The upcoming Kapihan sa Makati is a
significant step in keeping the public informed and engaged in the democratic
process—an essential ingredient for a stronger, more participatory democracy.
