"Together, we can make this election process genuinely meaningful, transparent, and transformative for the people we serve." PPCRV Cotabato Coordinator Calls 
 
​COTABATO CITY — As preparations finalize for the upcoming electoral exercise, Rev. Msgr. Benjamin Ariel P. Torreto, DCC, Cotabato City Coordinator for the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), rallied key electoral volunteers and leaders on Thursday afternoon, September 10, emphasizing civil society's critical role in upholding democracy.
​
Speaking before focal persons and team leaders representing the volunteer pool of the Interfaith Movement for Peaceful and Clean Elections (IM4PEACE) during its Regional Coordinating Body finalization meeting, Msgr. Torreto urged the group to move beyond routine election monitoring and focus on the broader impact of their service.
​
"Now that we are here, let us fully commit to doing our part," Msgr. Torreto said, addressing the gathered coordinators. "Together, we can make this election process genuinely meaningful, transparent, and transformative for the people we serve."
 
​The finalization meeting brought together peace advocates, community leaders, and parish volunteers to fine-tune operational plans, deployment logistics, and voter support protocols across the region. As part of PPCRV's national mandate as a citizen arm, the local chapter collaborates with partner organizations like IM4PEACE to monitor voting precincts, conduct voter education, and assist citizens on election day.
IM4PEACE Volunteers in the Maguindanao-SGA-Cotabato cluster are integrated into the PPCRV Volunteers, and several key leaders are deployed to Cotabato City's Nerve Center to support key tasks and responsibilities. 
 
​Msgr. Torreto highlighted that volunteerism is the backbone of ensuring clean, honest, accurate, meaningful, and peaceful (CHAMP) elections, particularly in areas where community trust and peace-building initiatives are vital.
