ako ang simula




If you see something wrong or something good, tell it to Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo. If you see someone trying to buy the votes, snap a picture on your cellphone and send it to Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo. If you see a town mayor using public vehicles for his campaign, shoot video with your cellphone and send it to Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo. If you see violence, tell Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo, and after a verification process, They will put it to air.

Introduced in 2007, BMPM empowered citizens to patrol their votes by encouraging them to report election-related anomalies using new media. Its huge success didn’t only spark citizen participation, it also enabled ABS-CBN to document illegal election practices all over the country. It has received recognition from the Philippine Quill Awards, the Anvil Awards, and the Gold Quill Awards.

The idea for Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo Ako ang Simula was simple: get the people to care and to take action. It’s people power with new technology!
