Nothing and no one can stop the people with deep aspirations to guide the Tamaraw community in designating student-leaders with accountability and concrete platforms – this is what TAMang boto, a youth-led voter education campaign, strongly aimed to promote in this year’s University elections.

In a high-stakes political affair that will dictate the future of the Philippines, the Filipinos’ involvement— both online and offline— has a resounding reach. As thousands logged onto digital spaces to air their thoughts, the support and criticism toward electoral candidates trended in a display of public sentiment.
Establishing vaccine confidence has always been one of the long-term goals in the health sector, especially in the pursuance of universal healthcare. However, vaccine hesitancy remains to be prevalent.
