The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) and the Communication Foundation for Asia are teaming up to produce a comic book, C.H.A.M.P.S. The comic features superheroes whose mission is to encourage voting in the youth in the Philippines. The project was inspired by The Avengers according to the PPCRV chair Henrietta de Villa.

C.H.A.M.P.S. stands for clean, honest, accurate, and peaceful. That’s the election slogan for the PPCRV. One of the characters will “destroy election anomalies.”

The team will not only take on election issues but will also encourage  beating corrupt officials at the ballot box.

The PPCRV will also be creating a board game called “Voters Tsunami.”

Comic books have been found to be great materials to teach the young about voter education which is an ongoing process in the country. The focus is on provinces where efforsts are going on now.

The comic will be released at the end of February or early March.

The project is set for official launch in the last week of February or first week of March.
