DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT ACTIVITIES:
1. WE SHALL MAKE A SIMPLE MODULE FOR VOTERS EDUCATION WHICH CAN BE PRESENTED THROUGH A MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR, VISUAL AIDS, OR JUST SIMPLE TALK WITHOUT AIDS.
2. THE NCR REGIONAL DIRECTORS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (DEPED) AND OF THE COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION (CHED)WILL FACILITATE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT IN HIGH SCHOOLS.
3. WE SHALL CONTACT 94 HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES IN METRO MANILA TO INFORM THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL OR COLLEGE DEAN OR UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT ABOUT THE PLAN. WE SHALL THEN DEAL WITH THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED.
4. WE SHALL START WITH A CORE OF 20 INDIVIDUALS WHO SHALL UNDERGO A 1-DAY SEMINAR.
THEY WILL LEARN HOW TO HANDLE QUESTIONS USING THE MODULE FOR “FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS”. THIS WILL EQUIP THEM WITH SUFFICIENT BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE TO GIVE THEM SELF-CONFIDENCE AND READINESS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
5. SUCH GROUP WILL ALSO BE TRAINED ON HOW TO DELIVER THE 1-HOUR “VOTERS EDUCATION
MODULE” IN CLASSROOMS. THEY WILL LEARN HOW TO USE A LAPTOP AND PROJECTOR.
6. WE SHALL USE TWO APPROACHES: FIRST, CLASSROOM LECTURE AND SECOND, AUDITORIUM TALK. THE CHOICE WILL BE DETERMINED EACH TIME BY FACTORS LIKE THE AVAILABILTY OF SPEAKER OR LECTURER AND THE CALENDAR OF ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL.
7. EVERYWHERE WE GO, THERE WILL BE A STREAMER WITH LOGO OF THE PARTNERS IN SERVICE,

9. BEFORE THE START OF THE TALK OR LECTURE, A MEMBER OF THE TEAM WILL DISTRIBUTE A QUESTIONNAIRE TO MEASURE THE ATTITUDES OF THE AUDIENCE TOWARDS COMELEC,ELECTIONS,
AND DEMOCRACY.

PROJECT DATES:
> THE VOTERS EDUCATION PROGRAM WILL START IN JULY 2005 AND IT WILL GO ON WEEKLY, MONTHLY, AND ALL-YEAR-ROUND UNTIL MARCH 2007 AND BEYOND DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE COMELEC PERSONNEL, NGO VOLUNTEERS AND PARTICIPATING SECONDARY SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY:
> OUR AUDIENCE IS A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.
> MORE IMPORTANTLY, OUR AUDIENCE IS PLIABLE AND RECEPTIVE TO THE IDEALS OF
DEMOCRACY AND THE TRADITIONAL VALUES OF HONESTY, HARD WORK, EXCELLENCE AND TRANSPARENCY.
> THERE IS A CONTINUING POOL OF SUCH KIND OF AUDIENCE BECAUSE THE ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS NURTURE THEM.
> OUR RESOURCE PERSONS ARE READILY TRAINABLE AND AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE
SPECIFICALLY TASKED TO DO VOTERS EDUCATION YET THEY HAVE NOT BEEN DOING IT FOR LACK OF LEADERSHIP, FINANCIAL SUPPORT, AND NGO PARTNERSHIP.
> OUR RESOURCE PERSONS WILL ONLY BE TOO GLAD TO ACCEPT THE PUSH AND MOTIVATING INCENTIVES.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION (THE NEEDS OR PROBLEMS THE PROJECT WILL SOLVE):
1. PEOPLE’S TRUST IN OUR INSTITUTIONS OF DEMOCRACY INCLUDING THE COMELEC IS LOW DUE TO IGNORANCE, FAILURE TO MODERNIZE, AND ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD, DELAYS, VOTE
BUYING,AND SEASONAL WORK IN COMELEC.
2. MORE AND MORE, PEOPLE PUT THEIR HOPE IN AN “IRON HAND” AND RADICAL CHANGES IN THE SYSTEM RATHER THAN IN OUR ELECTORAL PROCESSES.
3. COMELEC HAS NO CONTINUING VOTERS EDUCATION PROGRAM AND LACKS TRAINED EDUCATORS
TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION.
