This coming May 2010, every Filipino will have their taste of the first ever automated election here in the Philippines.  This is a very significant milestone in our country’s history given those long years of tedious manual election process that not only gives burden to our teachers and volunteers, but has also left doubtful and questionable election results.

Through the PCOS (Precinct Count Optical Scan System) machine, an automatic counting of votes will take place.  This won’t only make the task of our teachers lighter, but would also lessen massive cheating during election.  But, before anything else, we must know first how reliable this automated system is.  Below are important facts and details about Smartmatic’s PCOS machine.

Basic Functions

• Takes a digital copy of the ballot and record it
• Counts the number of votes automatically

Note: The number of voters per precinct is already known by the machine. (There are only 7 precincts (data) per machine.)

Advantages

• Speeds up election process
• Lessens the doubt of the authenticity of the election results

Reliability

A lot of pessimists are raising their eyebrows and are asking questions on how reliable this automated system is.  Let’s check the following facts.

• PCOS machine and ballots are precinct specific - For security purposes the machine unit won’t read ballots that are not listed for that specific precinct.

• Ballots are equipped with security features - All ballots have unique bar codes and have ultraviolet ink (an invisible one) which will confirm its authenticity.

• The Data inside the machine is secured - A PCOS is a stand-alone machine.  This means that it is not connected to a network.  A network connection only occurs for 5 minutes every time an important update is being sent to the main server.

• 128 Bit Data Encryption - A 128 bit encryption means that there are 2 (raised to the power 128) - or 3.4 with 38 zeros after it - possible combinations that could access the data inside the machine.  In layman’s term, it will be almost to impossible for a hacker to penetrate the system since that number of combinations can’t be processed within 5 minutes (the length of time the machine is allowed to connect to a network).  This kind of data encryption is actually used by banks to maintain a 24/7 security to their automated teller machines.

Now that we already know how this automated system works, let’s proceed to the basic dos and don’ts in voting.

Rules in Voting

• Do not overvote - The machine won’t count your votes if you select candidates greater than the expected number (i.e overvoting for President)
• Undervoting is okay
• Fully shade each oval - In shading the oval for the candidate of your choice, you must fill it at least 50% so that the system would recognize it.  If it’s less than 50%, then the machine will not recognize it and will consider the selection as nothing.
• Don’t put unnecessary markings on the ballot

More

• Precinct result is automatically transmitted to the Comelec website - This means that every time an update of votes will take place, the data will be automatically displayed to a web page that can be easily accessed by the public.  This way, everyone can tally votes simultaneously.
• Initialization reports of votes are printed using a thermal paper - A thermal paper can last up to five years
• The overall election process will only take place within 11 hours
• PCOS Machine’s back-up battery will last from 14 to 16  hours -  This is an emergency procedure if in case a black out will occur.

After reading the above facts and guidelines, all we need to do now is to be more vigilant and let’s make sure that what the Comelec told us will come into realization.  Anyways, if you wanted to know more about the candidates who are running for the office this 2010 election, you might try to visit Political Arena.  Hope you learned something from this post.  Cheers!

He has better skin complexion, and has this wholesome aura in person. (I think he has a facial routine in Belo.  Hahahahaha!)  I had the opportunity of meeting him along with my fellow blogging cyborgs when Kevin, CBS spokesperson, organized a one-hour interview that was held in Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, IT Park about a month ago.

Honestly, I’m not campaigning for him, nor do I have any plans of giving my precious vote  to him on the upcoming 2010 presidential election.  It just happened that Kevin is his die-hard supporter here in Cebu.  The blogging cyborgs got no other choice, but to interview him. LOL!

Anyways, after listening to his very nice platform and observing how he carried himself during the course of the interview, I think that he’s not bad at all.  I don’t want to be so bias.  Let’s give our beloved senator a chance to prove his capability.  I mean let’s give all those people who are vying for the presidential seat a chance to prove themselves.  Just think of it.  What will happen if no one is interested to become a president?

N.B.: Senator Mar Roxas was 30 minutes late.  Hahahaha!

The Katrina Halili and Hayden Kho Video Scandal

First, I wanted to give a big LOL to GABRIELA for supporting Miss Katrina Halili.  But, before anything else, I just wanted to express that I really got nothing against these celebrities.  It’s their actions, not their individuality that I will be criticizing.    It just happened that they are caught up in a sex scandal that spreads like wildfire.  And for a Catholic country to have something as big as this, the righteous moralists are way too restless.

As a woman, I personally detest Dr. Hayden Kho’s fetish.  I mean voyeurism is something creepy.  And doing it to someone you have an intimate relationship with is creepier.  Since it’s very obvious that in those two videos, Katrina and Maricar were absolutely unaware that their sexual encounters with him were being taped. Dr. Kho is definitely a voyeur.  And I may say, a pervert of his own kind.  It was reported that he has 40 sex videos all in all with different women.

A voyeur is someone who seeks sexual gratification through watching naked people and sexual acts.  In this case, Dr. Kho is somewhat a special voyeur because he loves seeing himself screwing someone in videos.  The worst thing is, those videos were being publicized using the latest technology, wherein copying files can be done in seconds.  And thus, the Hayden Kho sex videos epidemic began.  The perverts are celebrating, while the moralists are fuming with disgust and fury.

Let’s start with the main root of the problem, that is, who spread those videos?  It was already reported that a friend of Hayden uploaded those(a certain Eric Chua), and tried to sell it to DVD distributors.  But the public are doubting.  Some are rooting for the “revenge theory”.  There’s a possibility that Hayden’s ex-girlfriend, Dr. Vicky Belo, is behind this incident.  For those who don’t know, those sex videos is one of the main reason of their break up.  Dr. Belo discovered Hayden’s infidelity during their three-year relationship when she uncovered those videos.  It would be a bitter-sweet revenge to expose your ex’s unfaithfulness along with his mistresses.

But, one is always innocent until proven guilty.  The revenge theory will remain a theory until further investigation will be done.  After all, with all these brouhaha, it’s Dr. Vicky Belo who is playing the protagonist role.  She has the moralists’ empathy, and in all angle, she’s also the lowly victim of her ex’s dirty doings.  The righteous public will pity her and will carelessly despise the women involved in those sex videos.

And these women are no other than famous star Katrina Halili and 2nd runner up Bb. Pilipinas Maricar Reyes.  These two are both victims, the only difference is that the former is in double jeopardy.  Miss Halili is definitely a victim of Kho’s sexual perversion, but her being a victim is overshadowned by the ruthless fact that she’s his former mistress, a disloyal friend to Vicky Belo, and a big liar.

Those adjectives are like icepicks being stabbed again and again to Miss Halili’s degraded reputation.  And I know that this is somewhat harsh, but facts are facts, and there’s no denying to it.  The people will discard her case of being the victim, and they will only focus on her being the mistress, the other party, the traitor comrade of Dr. Vicky Belo.  People will despise her and will only see her mistakes.  This is the biggest prize of her a year of “just having fun” with Dr. Kho.  She will suffer the humiliation and shame, and it’s not even sure if the court can give her justice.

On the other hand, Miss Maricar Reyes deserves all the pity in the world.  She was Hayden’s girlfriend for one year when they were still in med school.  This sex scandal definitely shocked her and worst, the reactions of her family.  Her upcoming soap opera in ABS CBN was cancelled due to the scandal.  I guess she has all the rights in the world to jail Hayden and all those people who spread the video.  Despite this, some people may still carelessly label her as one of Hayden’s women.  Not most people love to research.  Hasty judgments are always the common scenario.

But, what irritated me the most, is Hayden’s somewhat calm and unaffected reaction.  He was even smiling while the press were asking him about the possibility of his medical license to be removed.  I don’t know what’s going in his mind.  One thing is for sure.  This Dr. Hayden Kho has a serious personality disorder.  I wish him to rot in jail along with her small phallus!

Lastly, a big LOL to GABRIELA because when I heard their name, I was reminded of that Nicole(that girl who claimed that she was raped by an American soldier), but at the end, retreated from the case and flew outside the country after receiving a sum of money.  What I wanted to mean here, is that, the group should do an intensive research well before defending someone from that or this, so that, at the end,  they won’t come out like fools and idiots.

That quick and massive left hook that landed at the edge of Hatton’s right jaw, ended the rather short fight between him and Pacman.  The Battle of East and West’s main fight only lasted up to two rounds.  The British opponent has been beaten, and in double jeopardy, when, after receiving a hard blow from Manny, hit his head on the canvass of the boxing arena.  Pacman finished the fight, leaving him lying on the floor, shocked and in pain, semi paralyzed, and losing his IBO Light welterweight title.

Ricky “the Hitman” Hatton, from Greater Manchester, England, sorely lost to our very own Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.  The former, with height, weight and experience advantage succumbed to the latter’s agility and reach advantage.  Hatton was brutally battered even in round one.  He lost his balance twice after receiving few lethal punches from his dear opponent.  Our Pambansang Kamao, once again, made us all proud.  Mabuhay ka Manny!  Jia You!  And good luck to your next opponent, Floyd Mayweather.

I’ve been hearing people talking about this for a long time.  I and my father even had a long debate about this because I’m always in the skeptical side when it comes to this prediction thingy.  Everyone knows how famous Nostradamus’ predictions are, and some people tend to take it seriously, which I find very idiotic.  Still, this topic arouses my curiosity because this involves a no nonsense subject, no other than the very first black US president, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama II, the mabus, the third antichrist, and etc., as what those bloody online articles accused him of.

Those articles I’m talking about actually based their interpretations from the quatrains of Nostradamus’ predictions.  The following quoted quatrains are their bases of Obama’s Assassination.

Century 2, Quatrain 62
Mabus then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.

Another quatrain where they based the speculation that Obama is the antichrist.

Century 8, Quatrain 77
The antichrist very soon annihilates the three,
twenty-seven years his war will last.
The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled;
with blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth.

Holy cow!  These people who hastily spread craps like this should be reminded that Nostradamus is no God.  He doesn’t know anything about the future and he’s just merely guessing from his not so lucid structure of thinking, wherein some constructs are in extreme deviation when compared to those boring and average many.  What I really mean is, how could people believe this kind of crap when most of his written predictions aren’t validated nor supported yet?  On the other hand, do this people even think of what will really happen if Obama, by any chance, will actually be assassinated?

Obama, the very first black US president, a democrat, a socialist and everything anti republican.  What would happen if he’s assassinated?  Honestly, I really don’t know.  Chaos?  Worldwide crisis?  Well, the world is already in chaos and in crisis.  What difference would it make?  Annihilating someone who is standing in the very opposite spectrum against the elitist lair is very perilous.  It is perilous in a sense that it would trigger uprisings from both extreme sides of the idealist camps.  But, if you will look closely, the probability of an assassination is actually moving toward the positive quadrant.

The US president’s extreme idealist thinking will attract lots of enemies and haters.  Well, to start with, all those US citizens who didn’t vote for him are actually rooting  for his failures and imperfections.  And now that he’s in position, they are too proud and happy to spread the news that their current president is the third antichrist.  I’m actually wondering what would happen if by any chance, Obama is not a black.  Tsk…tsk…tsk…  The countless years of looking down on slaves and those people who used their bare hands and feet to earn a living has actually dominated the minds of the elitists all over the world.

And the bottom line is, I’m not talking anymore of Obama’s assassination, but how the world unfairly treated those people who are working their asses off to serve the high and mighty elitists ones.  I hope and will pray that Mr. Obama could make a difference, being the ultimate symbol of a slave who went beyond the norms to prove to the prideful ones that the discrimination between the masters and slaves is just a part of the world’s history, and only belongs to history books that should be put away in the library and be used as a future reference.

Hidden Soldiers!
Ang sagot ni Manny Pacquiao
nang tinanong siya kung ano
ang World’s Number 1 anti-dandruff
shampoo.

The text message above is definitely funny, but it is an ugly reflection of how most Pinoy discriminate someone who doesn’t speak fucking English fluently. This, also shows how narrow-minded most of us when it comes to how we measure intelligence and capability. No wonder we are still living in a developing country until now. Hypocrisy dominates most of our central traits which has blinded us to see genuine talent and ability. We always assume that when someone is good in speaking english, he or she is smart and intelligent and everything. How pathetically wrong!

Well, this post is definitely not intended to rant about how pathetic most Pinoy are. This post is intended to praise Manny Pacquiao, Oscar Dela Hoya’s new idol. The golden boy in the boxing arena who has been a reigning champion and living legend bowed down and surrendered to Pacman at the start of the ninth round in their recently concluded Dream Match at MGM Grand, Nevada, USA.

I never thought the game would end that way. Dela Hoya has more fighting advantages compared to Pacman. First, is the height advantage. Pacman is only 5′ 6″ tall compared to Dela Hoya’s 5′ 10″. Next, is the reach advantage. Dela Hoya has long arms compared to Manny which means a high hitting probability. The Golden Boy is also famous of his powerful left jab and has more fighting experiences compared to our pambansang kamao. But all of these expected advantages had been easily vanquished by Pacman’s agility, good footworks, lethal throws and punches, and a combination of consistent offensive and defensive moves.

Manny Pacquiao dominated the whole game from round one to round eight. He threw the first few punches in the first round and managed to avoid Dela Hoya’s. The Golden Boy was reduced to a mere punching bag in round four to eight. Pacman emerged victorious after Dela Hoya accepted defeat with an injured face and a black eye. Pacman, on the other hand, accepted the victory unscathed along with millions of victorious Filipino around the world. Our Pambansang Kamao has clearly obliterated USA’s Golden Boy after 8 rounds due to technical knock out. Yeeeyyyyyy!

N.B. Have you noticed that the background music played after each round was of Rammtein’s? I’m referring to GMA 7’s game coverage. Hehehe.[/mwrap]

Here is an excerpt of the copy of  Overview and Responsibilities sheet handed by Nick to us during the meet up.

The bloggers will be our correspondents, playing an important role in providing key insight, information, and analysis where they will most likely be informed that other bloggers and writers from outside of the area.

Today is the beginning of The Cebu Bloggers’ participation in a grassroot movement that will take back our voice, and finally give back to the people, the power that is rightly theirs.

Thus The Cebu bloggers will be crucial so that our readers will have a more updated, more in depth look on the issues that are facing Cebu specifically.  Opinions, views, and analysis coming from not outside, but those who live and breathe Mindanao..

Yes, I did cast my vote for him in a mock poll during the US Election Watch 2008 at SM Atrium this morning. The Cebu Bloggers Society was invited by the US ambassador to the Philippines to attend the event. The venue was full of television screens that monitor the 2008 US Presidential Election.

Barack Obama is definitely the leading presidential candidate in almost all states. And as of the writing of this post it seems that victory is on the democrats side. Mccain, the republican candidate must brace himself well to accept defeat.

The US Election Watch 2008 was headed by Paul Jones, the U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission. The event were attended by different private sector representatives, media, americans, and a few prominent local personalities. Among these prominent personalities are local politicians like Mayor Jonas Cortes of Mandaue City, Rep. Raul Del Mar, and Rep. Neressa Soon Ruiz(attired in a maong mini-skirt with a glamorous hairdo). There were also local media reporters who covered the event. They were Rico Lucena of ABS-CBN Cebu and Bobby Nalzaro of GMA 7.

Of course, the group didn’t let the event pass without taking the opportunity to have our pictures taken with the above mentioned people. The event also has overflowing supply of american foods from generous sponsors.

Anyways, it would only take you a few seconds to cast your vote in their automated voting system process. This, I discovered when I casted my vote in their mock poll area. It is a far cry from our current voting process here in PI that is done manually.

On the other hand, I’m a little disappointed that I have to leave the event by 12 noon because of work.

Are you aware that the Adult Business is a multi-billion dollar industry? You might be downloading free porn from the net to your pc, but the ultimate truth is millions of people worldwide are stashing cash and credit cards to watch their favorite porn stars and fetishes.

You may hear and see lots of activists and feminists rallying in the streets, condemning pornography and prostitution, but their are millions of mortals out their who are leisurely enjoying the orgasmic entertainment brought by adult materials. And they are not the psychos or maniacs you see on TV or movies, but those ordinary denizens who are basking in the glow of carnal pleasures in their private homes.

Porn will always be there no matter how many demonstrations or rallies are held on the streets against it. And as time passes by, the number of porn companies worldwide is incrementing. And you may ask me why. Well, it’s simple. The higher the demand, the higher the supply. That’s a very simple business logic. This means that a very large percentage of the earth’s population are into pornography. But the sad thing about this is not all porn out there are legal. Illegal pornography has tainted the already tainted reputation of the business. And most porn companies are also struggling to stop this very detrimental part of the industry.

So, why we love porn? I’m referring to we because it’s not only consumers or common people who are benefited by this type of entertainment. According to PBS.org there are lots of big companies who are making big bucks out of porn juice. These companies are well-known hotel chains like Marriot, Westin, and Hilton. These major hotels, according to PBS are offering in-room X-rated movies delivered to the hotel by one of two major distribution companies, LodgeNet or On Command. Some analysts say these in-room sex movies generate more money for the hotel chains than revenue from the hotels’ mini-bars.

Another mainstream industry that also benefit from porn are the cable and satellite companies. These companies(AT&T - Comcast, General Motors - News Corporation) channel pornography into millions of homes and take approximately 80 percent of the pay-per-view dollar that gets spent by the consumer, according to Bill Asher, president of Vivid Entertainment, which produces adult movies.

And thirdly, is the internet industry. According to PBS, Yahoo has made lots of money selling ads and links to porn websites.

“When Yahoo! first launched, getting a site listed, even a commercial business site, was free,” says Sam Agboola in his 2001 interview with FRONTLINE. He is director of marketing for Danni’s Hard Drive, one of the most popular softcore sites online. “Nowadays it costs $200 to get a website listed unless you’re an adult website, in which case they charge $600.”

Anyways, how about you? Why do you love porn?

N.B. I guess I need a follow up post on this. I really, really love tackling this ish…hehehe(:

The onset of technological advancement has paved way to lots of possibilities and opportunities. The lifestyle of modernization is greatly embraced by people across cultures. Most people worldwide became dependent to this technological advancement, such as, you don’t have to go to Paris anymore to buy your favorite costumed made Italian lingerie. By a few clicks of your mouse you can have the finest designer clothes from your favorite Italian clothesline. You can pay your bills without going to the bank, but by just paying online. You can even sell merchandise online with international prospects. And these are made possible by no other than the internet.

The internet or the World Wide Web is the most celebrated technological breakthrough in the dawn of the 20th century. It narrowed down the cultural gap among people world wide, and long distance communication is made even easier, more affordable, and very portable. Phone to phone conversation may be is still in, but cyber communication is the current trend in the market. Cyber communication is another name for communication using the internet or the web.

The internet or cyberspace has introduced a more dynamic and convenient way of communication platform which jives in with the current fast-paced lifestyle of people across nations. This has made way to Instant Messaging (IM), such as Yahoo Messenger (YM), Google Talk (GTalk), MSN Messenger, IRC, and a lot more instant messaging services. And lately, these IM companies have added voice messaging service (for voice conference, phone to phone talk) as add-ons to their software applications.

Another form of communication platform in the net is the web-based instant messaging, wherein, you can send messages to anyone without using any software-based IMs, but your browser ( such as Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari, Avant ). On the other hand, interpersonal and dating websites (such as Cherryblossoms.com, FriendFinder.com, AdultFriendFinder.com) and social networking realms (such as Myspace.com, Friendster.com, Facebook.com, MyYearBook.com) have also dominated the online world. People around the globe meet online, communicate with each other, make friends, transact business, and even to the extent of building romantic relationships through these mediums. These can also be seen in email correspondence, forums, blogs, and the likes. Due to all these online innovations, cyber relationships existed.

And thus, we can say that cyber relationships are intimate and non-intimate bonds that are formed through frequent online communication. These can be platonic, romantic, or businesslike. As more and more people became acquainted with the World Wide Web, this has become the trend, and has posed lots of criticisms among people from all walks of life.

Some find it very convenient and classy because it is high tech, but others are dubious and cynical, especially when most people’s conception about cyber relationships only focuses to romantic relationship, that is the referrence to those people who use the internet as a medium to find love, sexmates, husbands, and even an aging foreigner to uplift their economic status .

There are actually lots of factors that affect these attitudes toward cyber relationships. The next lines are questions that can actually help us to better understand this new issue in our society.

First, is to what extent people perceive it as serious or not. Second, is to how open-minded are they, as to their level of involvement. Third, are the advantages brought by this new trend sufficient enough to outweigh the disadvantages, and how these factors affect those people who are involved.  And lastly, is to what extent socio-demographic status can affect ones attitude towards cyber relationships, that is, how does a person’s gender, social economic status, educational attainment could affect his views on the said issue?

Cyber relationship is may be the in thing nowadays, but just like anything that is new, it will take time before all people can fully adjust and understand its implications to our society.

I’m quite flabbergasted with this news about the fake performance of a child balladeer during the opening day of the Olympics in Beijing, China.

According to the news when Lin Miaoke, (in the right), opened her mouth to sing “Ode to the Motherland” during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, the voice that was actually heard was a recording of seven-year-old Yang Peiyi(left).

Miaoke performed before an estimated one billion viewers woldwide, but unfortunately, the voice they were listening to is not hers. It is the voice of the seven-year old Peiyi.

Peiyi was intentionally not chosen to perform because she’s not that good looking compared to Miaoke. Chen Qigang, the general music designer of the opening ceremonies said that the child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feeling and expression.

These Chinese people are really into fakes. No wonder most pirated and imitation stuffs like dvds, jeans, etc. mostly came from China. I guess their effort to impress the world made them look stupid. Oh, well that’s just my opinion.

She caught my attention when one time I passed by South Bus Terminal and saw lots of big banners advertising or what we say promoting her “Catch Her If You Can” photography contest(this was last year, December 2007). Yeah, a photography contest and by all saints and demons(?) “her-she” as the main subject. I was kind of what? What is she thinking? I just can’t believe it! I mean, may be I’m the only one who noticed, but it is so fucking funny!(Hahahahahahaha!)

There, I laughed it out loud. My peers have the same views and we always laugh every time we see new editions of SUGBO (the official newspaper of the province of Cebu). We laugh because we became habituated seeing her “pretty” face in every corner and page of the newspaper, and we always conclude that she’s a narcissist.

According to Sugbo, the photography contest was held to recognize the talents of Cebu’s photographers, both professionals and amateurs. Well, that’s great, but Gwen as the only subject is bloody overrated. I’m wondering whose idea it is to hold such kind of contest and with such very petty theme(I think it’s too lousy a theme because it doesn’t really promote artistic talents, but it could be a pre-campaign tactic by Gwenn herself or by her PRO. Lol!)

Well, these are just opinions which are way too subjective and bias. But don’t you think that it’s too disturbing to see only her photos in that newspaper (Sugbo) as if she’s the only official who’s working for the betterment of the province? It’s really very WEIRD. What do you think? Well, you better check the newspaper so you’ll know. Check it here…

N.B.: I write this post not to ridicule anyone but just to share what I’m thinking…ahehehe…

Ta ta,

EOD

After the Manila Pen incident waves of forums and events started to circulate in the school. The incident became a triggering event which causes slight aggressions (not the negative one) among radical organizations. Well, here’s one of the evidence.

All I can say is that, what Trillanes and his comrades did is worthless. Their plans to oust the president and to impose a transitional government will be buried six feet under. Anyways, 2010 is fast approaching. Why can’t they wait for that? I’m really pissed off everytime they use the phrase “for the Filipino people” when asked about their agenda. Aren’t they ashamed to stand in behalf of the people knowing nothing of our true sentiments? Haven’t they came to their senses after that incident? They expected massive uprising after the coup but they saw and heard nothing (that should have snapped them into their senses). The present government though has its flaws and imperfections still manages to run this struggling country fairly well.
