The Rappler 2025 Election Site is here!

Hi, daily! The campaign posters are up, vote solicitation disguised as aid-giving is on overdrive, and national candidates have begun their rallies.  Yup, it's campaign season again.  Through both the sensory overload and dearth of information about candidates' platforms, Rappler is making a commitment to be there with voters every step of the way. One way we keep that promise is through our #PHVote2025 Election Site that just went live.  Access it here: Visit the Rappler Election Site Here are features of our election site that can help you through the three months ahead: Profiles of senatorial candidates, party lists and their nominees - Better than Wikipedia because it's sourced from candidacy certificates from Comelec and other verified data, and is checked by journalists. Key local candidates' profiles will be out in late March, in time for the local campaign period. Election guides and explainers - What is premature campaigning? What are dates to remember? What are the election violations? We have you covered with our comprehensive guides. Live videos, breaking news, and updates - Watch the biggest campaign moments unfold on our site, including candidates' fora, rallies, voter issues, and more. Journalists, civic engagement specialists, and volunteers on the ground will be updating this newsfeed daily. Report violations, talk to our staff - Through our voter-hotline chat room with the Comelec, you can report election violations like vote-buying or ask questions about the election process. Through the philippine-politics chat room, you can tag our staff who are covering various localities, sectors, and candidates.

C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) is currently moving out from inside the orbit of Venus and on track to pass its nearest to the Earth in about two weeks. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, pronounced "Choo-cheen-shahn At-less,", is near naked-eye visibility and easily picked up by long-exposure cameras. The comet can also now be found by observers in Earth's northern hemisphere as well as the south. The featured image was captured just a few days ago above Zacatecas, Mexico. Because clouds were obscuring much of the pre-dawn sky, the astrophotographer released a drone to take pictures from higher up, several of which were later merged to enhance the comet's visibility. Although the future brightness of comets is hard to predict, there is increasing hope that Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS will further brighten as it enters the early evening sky. via NASA https://ift.tt/2NPM51m Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
