MANILA, Philippines – The spotlight is on communities as Filipino voters are set to elect their next set of local officials, congressional representatives, and 12 senators on May 12, 2025.
Beyond the political drama in Malacañang and Congress leading up to the polls, there are urgent concerns that government officials need to address as the current Marcos administration hits its halfway mark next year.
