Personalized guide for voter journey
It starts with one person, but one is never enough.
Mass media broadcasts information but often leaves it to real-world communities to help individual voters make their choices. Today, social media and technology can turn this upside down.
Using data as backbone – some publicly available but layered, some gathered using good old legwork by our research and editorial teams – we present critical information you need at crucial moments in the coming weeks and months.
By taking the #PHVote Challenge, you ask Rappler to help you personalize your voter’s journey by providing you the information you need each step of the way.
Issues you care about
Ultimately, we believe that candidates need to be judged based on how they deal with issues that matter.
We’ve identified 6 key issues we believe must be addressed: poverty and social inequality; corruption and governance; disasters and climate change; OFW concerns; foreign policy matters; and peace and development in Mindanao.
Our new interactive executions provide you with a fun way to navigate those issues. You can also learn more and keep up with latest updates by visiting our PHVote 2016 microsite.
We want to keep the candidates accountable for statements and promises they make. Thus, as the campaign period progresses, we will fact check what candidates say as we did during the first PiliPinas 2016 Presidential Debate.
Your voice matters
Our empowered and vocal community allows you to form a course of action, a choice for a candidate through vibrant discussions – both rational and emotional (through the mood meter, our patented user engagement model).
More importantly, we provide you tools to enable you to discuss, share, and build communities of action around issues that are important to you.
Discuss your concerns through X, your friendly neighborhood story platform. You can also post your thoughts on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #PHVote and #TheLeaderIWant.
Talk about the issues you want your leaders to prioritize. What annoys and angers you the most? What problems need to be fixed? Read up and speak up for what you and your community need through #Hugot, our interactive meme generator.
Throughout your voter’s journey, Rappler will provide challenges that harness the power of the crowd. Stay on track with those challenges by following @rapplerdotcom and @MovePH on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
Make change happen
It doesn’t end on election day. The community we grow should continue to monitor and engage to make sure our candidates keep their promises. All this becomes more important in the Philippines’ first social media elections where nearly 40% of the voting population is young.
You can make a difference.
Learn more. Stay engaged. Scrutinize leaders well before you vote. Together, let’s each find #TheLeaderIWant and agree on who we want.
