Bells rang out at Catholic churches across the Philippines on May 9 to urge parishioners to pray and register to vote in the next presidential election in 2022.
The bells were sounded exactly a year before the country goes to the polls on May 9, 2022, to elect successors to President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Leni Robredo.
Church authorities are encouraging churchgoers, especially those who have not yet registered, to make their voices heard by choosing the next president and vice president.
