00:00In the more than 65 million registered voters of the 2022 election, more than 13 million or 19% are part of Generation Z or Gen Z, or those who were born from 1997 to 2004.
00:16This is based on the data distributed by GMA News Research.
00:20According to a political analyst, this number is likely to increase in the 2025 midterm elections.
00:27Especially for first-time voters like Raven and Annie.
00:31I'm excited to exercise one of our democratic rights as a Filipino.
00:37I'm also excited to vote.
00:40What will be the impact of this when the 2025 election comes?
00:44The number of Gen Z voters will increase.
00:47The importance of the role and the number of Gen Z voters.
00:52So that will be game-changing.
00:54This can change our political landscape.
00:59Where will Gen Z voters go?
01:02It's possible that they will go to the future of the country.
01:05What's good about Gen Z is that they know who to choose.
01:09Gen Z voters are called the digital generation.
01:14They are not only receiving information,
01:17they can be the actors and shapers of the ways of technology,
01:25the information that can be brought through digital technology.
01:29They are also the educators themselves.
01:32There are also other age-level voters.
01:36Our Gen Z members are aware of their possible role in the election.
01:41How will other voters vote in the upcoming 2025 elections?
01:46First of all, as a young person,
01:49there are characteristics that are critical.
01:54They will not bring their personal interests into the race.
02:00They will not chase money and power in the same position.
02:06Christian will go home to Cebu in order to vote.
02:10I did my research.
02:12I checked what they can give and what they can contribute to our country.
02:21Will they do a good job?
02:23Will we be able to give them the right track record?
02:32Even in front of the camera,
02:34one-third of the votes will go to new and young legislators.
02:38That's also a significant development
02:41because young people have a different way of thinking compared to traditional politicians.
02:47If we base it on the Barangay and SK Elections,
02:50let's say we include those 15 years old up to 17.
02:54But in the Barangay and SK Elections,
02:56the number of voters there is almost 24 million.
03:01So more or less, we are expecting up to 20 million Gen Z members,
03:06young people whose vote is very important.
03:09It is enough to elect a senator.
03:12It is enough to elect several party lists.
03:15Therefore, their votes will matter.
03:18They will be the ones to decide the future of our country.
