The AMA Education System (AMAES), pioneer in IT-based education in the Philippines, has reaffirmed its commitment to nation-building by partnering with the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) for the upcoming 2025 elections. This groundbreaking collaboration was sealed through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing on January 22, 2025, at The Flex, AMA University—a symbol of AMAES’ dedication to innovation, education, and public service.
Towards An Honest and Transparent Elections
As PPCRV’s official Information Technology (IT) partner, AMAES plays a crucial role in ensuring a clean and transparent electoral process. This partnership underscores AMAES’ expertise and leadership in providing state-of-the-art technological resources, vital in safeguarding the democratic process. By lending state-of-the-art equipment and offering technical support, AMAES strengthens PPCRV’s electoral watchdog system, ensuring the integrity of the national elections.
“We are deeply honored to be PPCRV’s information technology partner,” said Dr. Amable R. Aguiluz V, AMAES Founder and Chairman. “This collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to upholding the integrity of our democratic institutions.”
Smart Voters and the Role of Education
In a digital world where everything is quick and accessible, ‘fake news’ and misinformation has become rampant and weaponized to advance political agendas and personal interests.
Beyond its technological contributions, AMAES recognizes the importance of empowering voters through education. By leveraging its expertise in training and knowledge dissemination, AMAES aims to inform Filipino citizens about their rights and responsibilities as voters. This initiative fosters a well-informed electorate capable of making responsible decisions during the elections.
“As educators, we take pride in providing quality training to our students worldwide. This initiative enables us to extend that commitment to Filipino voters, equipping them with the knowledge to make informed choices,” Dr. Aguiluz V added.
A Vision for Good Governance
The partnership aligns with PPCRV’s “Tibok Pinoy” campaign, which emphasizes the critical role of every Filipino in ensuring a robust electoral process. Both organizations share a common vision of fostering integrity, responsibility, and vigilance among voters to strengthen democracy.
PPCRV Chairperson Evelyn Singson expressed her gratitude for AMAES’ unwavering support: “This partnership is not just about technology; it’s about fostering a culture of responsibility and vigilance among voters. Together, we can ensure that the voice of every Filipino is heard and respected.”
A Commitment Spanning for Decades
AMAES’ dedication to upholding democratic process and ensuring honest elections spans decades, even before the establishment of organizations such as PPCRV. From facilitating quick counts to setting up election help centers and providing medical services during election periods, AMAES has consistently demonstrated its commitment to supporting the nation’s electoral integrity.
Building a Better Nation, Today and Tomorrow
This collaboration is more than a partnership; it is a milestone for democracy. As the country prepares for the 2025 elections, AMAES’ involvement exemplifies how education and technology can converge to create meaningful impact. By combining innovation with a steadfast commitment to democratic values, AMAES continues to uphold its mission of not only educating future technological leaders but also actively contributing to a better nation in the present.
For AMAES, building a brighter future begins today—by empowering voters, supporting transparent elections, and championing good governance. This partnership with PPCRV is a testament to the institution’s dedication to shaping a better Philippines, one informed voter at a time.
