1Sambayan area coordinators were identified and designated to organise series of community forums (Townhall Talakayan) to spearhead the campaign “to educate and unify the Filipino-Australian communities to support, to be involved and to act to prevent an authoritarian government from taking hold in the Philippines in the Election 2022”.
