Election in Bohol Philippines

Bohol Chronicle: The Church is calling Boholano electorates not to waste their votes in the coming election which is barely 24 days away.

The call was echoed by Bishop Leonardo Medroso even as he asked the faithful for fervent prayers for a clean and orderly election especially that this will be the first time that counting is done by automation.
  
The church leader said voters should pause and make choices on whom to elect as their next leaders to govern the nation and the local communities.

To give the electorates a better perspective and evaluation of the candidates for major local posts, the forum dubbed as "Sayri Ang Bol-anon" is scheduled to commence next week to be aired live over BCCTV and dyRD-AM, the sponsoring media partners.

This is in coordination with the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) and the Commission on Election.

Gubernatorial bets, Edgar Chatto, Julius Herrera and Cesar Montano are scheduled on April 26 while the one-on-one city mayoralty bets, Dan Lim and Jose Antonio Veloso will be on April 28. The congressional bets for the first district, Oscar Glovasa, Edgar Kapirig and Rene Relampagos will be on May 3 and second district congressional bets, Erico Aumentado and Judith Cajes will be on May 5.
