UPLB has collaborated with GMA Network in preparation for Eleksyon 2025 during the Partnerships Launch at GMA 7 Studio 6 on November 11, 2024. 

This initiative aims to ensure extensive monitoring and accurate reporting of the upcoming midterm elections.

UPLB is among over 50 partner organizations spanning various sectors, including education, telecommunications, media, technology, business, law, and public service. These organizations have committed to providing reliable information for the 2025 elections.

Representing the academic sector at the event was Mark Lester del Mundo Chico, director of the UPLB Office of Public Relations and a faculty member at the Department of Development Broadcasting and Telecommunication of the College of Development Communication (CDC).

The Commission on Elections is also partnering with Eleksyon 2025 to ensure that the initiative aligns with national election protocols.

Through this collaboration, UPLB aims to strengthen its election education campaigns and enhance its coverage through Bantay Halalan, a project spearheaded by Radyo DZLB in coordination with other units of the CDC. 

This partnership underscores UPLB’s dedication to promoting informed and responsible voting among Filipinos, highlighting the critical role of truthful reporting and community engagement in upholding democracy. (JPAAquino)
