According to the Commission of Elections (COMELEC), there will be 20 million voters expected from Generation Z, born in 1997 to 2007 for the Midterms Elections 2025. They have the biggest surge in registered voters, soaring from a record of 13.11 million in 2022, bringing in a new wave of voices and perspectives.
Gen Z is known for their demand for change–socially, economically, and politically. Taking advantage of their access to the digital world, this generation now dictates the trend, information exchange, and have been given the title of “game changers” in the upcoming elections as they continue to be vocal about their vision for the future. It is greatly known how involved and concerned they are with political conversations, even when most of them are not allowed to vote in the last election in 2022. According to the FleishmanHilliard Report (2022), the demographic users of different social media platforms for political discourse were 60% women, and 59% youths aged 18-24–emphasizing their outstanding participation during that year.
With the Rundown 2025, a senate-forum organized by the youth for the youth, the Filipino youth is once again offered a profound opportunity to get to know the candidates for the upcoming Midterms Election 2025. With its theme, “Kinabukasan ng Kabataang Pilipino: Karapatan, Kaligtasan, at Kalayaan”, it remains committed to empowering youth for their own rights, safety, and freedom.
