Razon focuses on caucus sessions
Manileños are getting attuned to the town hall type gathering or caucus being held across the capital by supporters of former National Police Chief and mayoral bet Avelino Razon Jr.
The observation was made by Col. (ret.) Ernesto “Dionix” Dionisio, a former councilor in the city’s second district and head of Razon Para Mayor movement.
Dionisio said at least two causes are scheduled daily in the city’s six districts, drawing crowds of up 300 hundred voters wanting to interact with the former police chief as he expounded on genuine alternative change.
“During a typical caucus, Kuya Sonny Razon, as he has come to be known, explains in detail his platform of governance for Manila, which in essence addresses the basic needs and concerns of the city’s residents that have not been given sufficient attention. This is followed by an open forum wherein the audience is given the opportunity to freely exchange views with the candidate.”
Caucuses have become so successful that the movement now had to coordinate with organizations supporting Razon that wanted to hold their own sessions to avoid conflicts in the schedule, said Dionisio.
According to him, the caucus format allows the audience to discuss key policy issues directly.
This interaction, said Dionisio, embodied Razon’s concept of participative democracy at work.
Unlike the motorcade and stage show campaigns, the caucus has a voters’ education workshop on the automated polls, how to cast the ballot, and discussions on the voter’s rights.
“This is people empowerment and participative democracy on which our “alternatibong pagbabago” campaign is anchored. The voters are informed and at the same time empowered,” Dionisio said.
