I am so ready to vote,” he told ABS-CBN News.</p><p>Noting the big fraction of eligible youth voters in the Philippines, Echarri said: “If we all register, I think we all have a chance to really have our voices heard.

On Wednesday, the Commission on Elections announced it will extend registration hours beyond 5 p.m., and will also conduct it on Saturdays and holidays, given the constraints of the coronavirus lockdown.</p><p>Asked why he has been vocal about voters’ education through social media and in previous media events, Echarri mentioned recently becoming of legal age in June.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1751642" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>“When you’re a kid kasi, you don’t realize how important our future is. You don’t realize how one president, or one congressman, or one senator can really change our future’s path as a country,” he explained.</p><p>“I think my generation is one of the most awakened generations, where they realize that we need to talk about these kinds of topics. If you have any kind of way to spread this word, spread it. Why would you keep it quiet?”</p><p>Echarri also stressed the importance of a single vote ¬– often dismissed as inconsequential — in electing leaders.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/08/17/21/1-on-1-kyle-echarri-on-gold-squad-asap-and-2022">1 on 1: Kyle Echarri on the future of The Gold Squad, being Kapamilya forever, and youth vote in 2022</a></li></ul><p>“I’m really inspired, when the day happens, to really vote. Kasi you have such a powerful vote. Why don’t you use it? People say, ‘It’s just one, it’s not going to get you far.’ But, no, you don’t know how important one vote can be,” he said.</p><p>Echarri, who is currently one of the most visible stars of his generation, called on those who may similarly have wide influence, to use their platform to shed light on the issue.</p><p>“For those people that can spread the word, please, it’s time. If you guys are 18, please magpa-register na kayo until September. Make sure you use your vote wisely, and vote for the right people,” he said.</p>

Actor-singer Kyle Echarri, who turned 18 this year, is ready to vote in the 2022 elections, and hopes his fellow youth are, too, as he emphasized how one ballot can change the course a country.
