5 FACTS ABOUT PPCRV
The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) has been a driving force in promoting clean and honest elections in the Philippines. Founded under the leadership of Cardinal Jaime Sin and with the involvement of Dr. Haydee Yorac, PPCRV was launched in October 1991 at St. Paul University, Quezon City, with around 1,000 laypeople from the parishes of the Archdiocese of Manila. Since then, it has expanded nationwide with the support of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines.
With its main goal of promoting responsible voting and values-based voting, PPCRV engages in voter education, election observation, and advocacy for clean and honest elections. By empowering citizens to participate in the electoral process, PPCRV aims to promote good governance and hold leaders accountable.
Guided by Catholic teachings on social justice, human dignity, and the common good, PPCRV's efforts are rooted in the belief that every citizen has a moral obligation to participate in the democratic process and shape the future of the country. The organization encourages voters to choose leaders who uphold the values of integrity, transparency, and service to others.
Thousands of volunteers from various parishes and dioceses across the Philippines are the backbone of PPCRV's efforts. These dedicated individuals work tirelessly to ensure that elections are conducted fairly and transparently, reflecting the will of the people.
Through its mission-driven work, PPCRV continues to make a positive impact on Philippine democracy, inspiring citizens to exercise their right to vote responsibly and promoting a culture of accountability and transparency in governance.
