The truth is
Here's my opinion regarding the past hostage crisis.
I believe that the current administration should not be solely blamed for what had happened.
Clearly to me, the lack of training, weapons and tactics are the result of years of corruption - financially and mentally.
I think those politicians who were part of the past governtment should be careful in criticizing the current administration, because maybe they too have done something in the past that indirectly contributed to what have killed those hostages.
Our past haunts us, and now that the truth is out in the open, I hope those people who are in power would learn from this situation, and consider this as an opportunity to grow.
the end is the beginning is the end
Glora Macapagal Arroyo's term will end in two days.
I can't wait.
These past few weeks the Filipinos have been constantly reminded by the accomplishments she had done during her nine year term as president.
I remember a common specific scene in the movies, the one which shows a person fervently washing his hands after committing a grave crime, an act which shows regret, realization, fear and cowardice - as if the soap and water would free that person from the things he has done or allowed to happen.
If there is worth mentioning about this 'historical' period, it's the political killings, corruption and various forms of deceit.
Pres. GMA this is the legacy you are leaving.
Find your precinct number in one page load instead of two
Since the COMELEC website (http://www.comelec.gov.ph/precinctfinder/precinctfinder.aspx) is taking ages to load (probably because a lot of people are accessing the site), I tried this hack so I can instanly retrieve the voter's info in 1 page load instead of two.
The COMELEC Precinct Finder has 2 stages or page loads :
1. Voter has to input information for the following:
* F U L L N A M E = firstname, middle name & lastname
* D A T E OF B I R T H = month, day & year
2. The webpage retrieves and displays the voter's info and registration details with the Polling Place and precinct number.
Using the URL below edit/replace the dummy voter's info with your own information, follow the formats of the UPPER-CASE AND LOWER-CASE letters.
http://www.comelec.gov.ph/precinctfinder/precinctresult.aspx?firstname=JUAN&maternalname=DELA&lastname=CRUZ&bmonth=12&bday=30&byear=1979&month=December
Formats for the following values:
- firstname, maternalname, lastname = UPPER CASE LETTERS, replace spaces with %20 (ex. SAN AGUSTIN = SAN%20AGUSTIN)
- bmonth = 2 digits of birthmonth = 01-12
- bday = 2 digits of birthday = 01 - 31
- byear = 4 digits for birth year
- month = January-December (first letter should be in upper-case)
If your name has spaces, use "%20" for each space, example:
Name: JUAN DE LA CRUZ
Example URL:
http://www.comelec.gov.ph/precinctfinder/precinctresult.aspx?firstname=JUAN&maternalname=DE%20LA&lastname=CRUZ&bmonth=12&bday=30&byear=1979&month=December
If you get the "SERVICE UNAVAILABLE" message just refresh the page - click the refresh button or hit F5 to refresh.

Volunteer to DSWD
Today, nag hahanap na ng mga volunteers ang DSWD, at least nakagawa ng action kaagad. Para sa information kung paano makapag volunteer, visit na lang sa site ng GangBadoy (http://gangbadoy.multiply.com)

[start quote from gangBadoy]
I was so happy.
I immediately replied. My hunch was right, my friend Congresswoman Risa Hontiveros gave my contact number to the Dept of Social Welfare and Development Secretary. I told Risa if 'the lack of volunteers' is the reason why DSWD has not sent out the relief goods then she should call me. I know many private citizens who are willing to help out. And voila, she did.
Many are willing to pack and sort and look for options for delivery (as groups like WhiteSpace, TulongBayan, BalayExpo, Angel Brigade, LSGH, AdMU, Red Cross have been doing since typhoon Ondoy). Since the warehouses of DSWD are filling up with donations from overseas- then it is time they be delivered to the survivors. Families who are recovering and desperately rebuilding their lives from the recent onslaught brought about by the two typhoons.
Sec. Cabral and I talked and she mentioned that the DSWD is open 24 hours for workshifts so she agreed for us (private citizens via our NGO: Rock Ed Philippines) to try to come up with a shift-coordination-list of, at least, 50 volunteers per day - for Monday to Friday - 3pm-11pm.
