It is must for my Filipino Domestic helper to vote?
-
I tried to ask the authorities whether is it necessary for my Filipino helper to vote in this coming Philippines election but none can give me a concrete answer. Her empolyment agency said its not necessary.
However my maid wanted to go to her Embassy to vote but I told her, she doesn't have to vote. I can see that she is quite upset.
I saw this article: There are over 30,000 Filipino registered voters here in Singapore, but after 12 days of voting, only 10% had cast their votes. This low rate is Consul Imperial’s main cause of concern. Polling opened for overseas voters started on April 10, but there are only about 200 voters per day. “We were hoping it would be 800 a day,” he says.
The voting will continue all the way to May 10. Imperial is making every effort for voters to come and vote now, and not wait till the last days. The Embassy has sent to over 400,000 text messages to the over 100,000 mobile numbers owned by Filipinos. “All of them are aware we have elections. We urge them to vote as soon as they can, and not wait till the last few days, when we expect very long lines. Right now, voting only takes five minutes, and you’re done with the process.”
If it is not necessary... I won't let her go!

It is not necessary but its still their right as a citizen and you are not in a position to restrict them from voting
-
If there is no ill will between you and your maid, let her go.
If you both are already antagonistic, then it would be better to let her go.
The odds are in favour of letting her go.
Let her go, its good for you.

Hanor, at least you can go to sleep at ease every night knowing there isn't a chopper around your baby's neck.

Just let her vote. A few hours off only.
Can you imagine your boss locking you up in the office on your voting day? -
Dont blame vivien also...
Because I can understand.......some people used to not voting, and to be apolitical....
So, such thing is considered not important....
