According to Comelec Chairman George Garcia, the initiative is part of their campaign to enlighten young people about what the commission does.

During the visit, Aquino, who will be coming from her home province of Pampanga, will be oriented about Comelec's work.

The Comelec will also determine why Aquino does not know anything about the poll body.

"It is for our full understanding as to why (she is unaware). It is our failure... we have to immediately rectify," Garcia pointed out.

Garcia said the poll body is ready to do the same thing for anyone unaware of the Comelec's work.

"It is possible that many youths or Filipinos are like her. It is thus our solemn duty to explain who we are and what we are doing," he explained.

During the question and answer portion on "It's Showtime" last February, Aquino was asked about her message to the Comelec, to which she replied she knows nothing about the government agency.
