The Election Game Show

Communication Foundation for Asia (CFA), a pioneer in development communication, has produced an upbeat three-episode reality game show on the upcoming Philippine elections. Aptly entitled “Vote4U: The Election Game Show”, its main goal is to advocate for peaceful and honest elections through responsible and intelligent voting.

In Vote4U, three teams vie for the ultimate prize, but not without being subjected first to a series of extreme tests and challenges. Something to look forward to is the paint ball challenge, where each team has to dodge a rapid string of shots while keeping the ballot box safe. Each team is composed of three young players who are mostly first-time voters. One of the players is a deaf-mute, but you will be surprised to discover what becomes of his team in the end of the game.

Vote4U is written and directed by Clodualdo del Mundo, the scriptwriter of such award-winning films as “Bayaning Third World” (2000), “Mulanay: Sa Pusod Ng Paraiso” (1996), “Kisapmata” (1982), and “Maynila: Sa Mga Kuko Ng Liwanag” (1975), among many others.
