Dapitan City youth volunteers to help monitor May 9 polls

DAPITAN CITY, Zamboanga del Norte, May 4 (PNA) -– A total of 100 youth volunteers who would assist in monitoring the conduct of the 2016 local and national elections have finished a two-day photo journalism seminar in this city. 

 

The seminar was held at the Dakak Park and Beach Resort from Monday until Tuesday and was facilitated by the Junior Chamber International-Philippines (JCI-Ph). 

Karl Obordo of JCI local chapter told the Philippines News Agency that those who finished the two-day seminar are youth volunteers from this city’s 50 barangays. 

Obordo said they will join the Civil Society Organization (CSO) in monitoring the conduct of the May 9 local and national polls aimed to ensure an orderly, clean honest and credible election through photo journalism. 

He said the photographs taken by the youth volunteers can be used as documentary evidence in filing legal actions against anyone committing election offense on May 9. 

The Photo Journalism Workshop was successfully conducted in partnership between the JCI local chapter and freelance photo journalist Richel Umel. (PNA)
