Leaders
WE have to REACHOUT to our
Government LEADERS by praying
evangelistically!
1 TIMOTHY 2:1-4
“First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and
prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be
made on behalf of all men, for kings and all
who are in authority, in order that we may
lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness
and dignity. This is good and acceptable in
the sight of God our Savior, who desires
all men to be saved and to come to
the knowledge of the truth.”
THE HILIGAYNON BIBLE:
Step 1.
Decide what issues matter to you and what
qualities you want to see in your candidate.
By voting based on a clear idea of
what we want government to
address, and on what sort leaders we
want, our elections become truly
meaningful exercises of our
sovereign will ratherthan just shallow
popularity contests.
Ask Yourself:
What do I want the government to do?
Intelligence?
Honesty and Integrity?
Good looks?

Step 2.
Learn everything you can about the
candidates. It is very easy to be swayed
by appearances. To make sure that you
are not misled, be more discerning.
Take the effort to know as much as
you can about the candidates .
Look closely at each candidate’s
campaign materials and position
papers on various issues.
Watch televised debates – attend if
possible – and listen to radio
interviews of candidates; watch their
television guestings.
Do you think they’re spending too
much on their campaigns?
Are they tackling issues or are they
just focusing on image and
appearances?

Step 4.
What kind of leader will each candidate be?
Trying to forecast what kind of leader a person
will be can be tricky, so study the candidates
and ask yourself:
Who seems to be the most prepared
for the position being contested?
.
Who has the best background for
the job?
Who seems to be the most willing and
able to defend his platforms and
proposed programs?

Step 5.
Review the info you have and DECIDE.
Go over all the information you have
collected on the candidates, and ask
yourself:
Which candidate’s views on the
issues do I agree with the most?
Who is running the fairest campaign?
Which candidate demonstrates the
most knowledge on the issues?
Which candidate has the leadership
qualities I’m looking for?

Tip # 2:
Make a "kodigo:" a list of the candidates
you want to vote for. This will help
reduce the time you spend at the polling
place and ensure that you won't
forget anyone you want to vote for!

Tip # 3:
• COMELEC / SMARTMATIC-TIM would be
providing special ballot markers to each
precinct, which will be used for the voting
process. The Automated Counting Machine
can accommodate pencil marks, but for
reasons of securing the process (as pencil
marks can be erased and replaced),
black markers will be used.

Effectively CAST your VOTE
• NOTE:
Pencil marks are editable, and
therefore not recommended.

HOW SHOULD THE BALLOTS BE SHADED?
• OVALS should be shaded fully!
• Marks are evaluated based on a COMELEC defined
sensitivity-level. For example, a half-shade (filling
half of an oval) will be evaluated by the Automated
Counting Machine whereas a dot would not. This
protects against accidental marking of an oval.
Furthermore, the practice of shading an oval
completely shows that the voter is actively
and with full intention selecting the
candidate of their choice.

Effectively CAST your VOTE
Tip # 4:
Get our ID card ready even though you don't have to
present an ID unless you're identity or eligibility to
vote is challenged. Better safe than sorry!
The ID card you use doesn't have to be a COMELEC-
issued voter ID. You can use any picture ID
such as your company or school ID,
a driver's license, or a passport.

Effectively CAST your VOTE
Tip # 5:
Come to the polling places early,
cast your vote and
avoid loitering in the polling center.
Billy Graham once commented:
"In a world that might say one vote
doesn't matter..., it does matter
because each person is of infinite
worth and value to God...
Your vote is a declaration of
importance as a person and a citizen.
IT REPRESENTS YOU …
IT IS YOUR PRAYER …
IT IS YOUR VOICE …
“PRAYER for the NATION”
Amen.
Prayer for the COMELEC
18 April 2010 Prayer for the COMELEC
Father,
You said in your word that “righteousness exalts a
nation but sin is a disgrace to any people”. I bring to
you right now the men and women of the COMELEC,
not only in Bacolod City, not only in Negros but in
the Philippines as a whole.
