TO this Baptist church in Quezon City, Paul Watser is what you may call a good Christian. He’s tall, he’s young, he reads the Bible, he votes.

Watser is a character in a series of shorts depicting the story of an ordinary, church-going, apathetic college student. And for the first time last Sunday, members of the Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church met Watser, his story beamed to the wall during one of the services.
The film shows Watser asking about Romans 13:4, which says authorities are “God’s servants, sent for your good.” He’s then encouraged to guard his vote, and participate in the country’s electoral process. It’s a series of hijinks until Watser becomes a voter and a poll watcher under the One Vote Movement.
The Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church is one of the many members of One Vote Movement, and the short film on Watser its way of reminding the congregation of their responsibility as a vote watchdog in next month’s mid-term elections.
