Halalan 2010 iPhone application

I was checking the Apple App Store out when I saw this application called Halalan 2010.
I got intrigued about it and it was free of charge so, I immediately downloaded it.

Upon opening the application, a simple yet clear user interface greeted me. I registered (it won't take more than 30 seconds) and voila! I can already vote! (This is just a mock election)



To register, you need not input your name. Just your age-group, gender, country and work.


After voting, I excitedly checked out the results. As of January 19, 2010 (1:52pm Philippine time) Here are the results:




According to the creator of the application, he created it because,

I am not motivated by any party or political group. I am not affiliated with any survey organization or company. My main objective is to have an unbiased, honest and independent survey for the Philippine Elections on 2010.

Also, you can check out the live statistics on where the votes are coming from. Nice application!

Erap for President; Aling Dionisia for showbiz!

SERIOUSLY, What is wrong with our world!?

Her popularity is, being the mom of a famous international sports boxing champion. We of course, respect what she wants because it's her life. My point is, it just proves the old adage "Money can move mountains".

Going back to Joseph "ERAP" Estrada, I don't think it's a wise move to vote an ousted ex-president. Although he was ousted illegally, the court made it legal because it already happened (of course, with someone powerful at the back, who would not follow).

Quoting the study, the deposed leader maintained that the constitutional ban on the reelection of chief executives applied to “sitting presidents” and not to a former president like him who wasn’t even able to finish his term.

But according to the Philippine constitutional law, section 4 states that:

A person who has held the office of president is absolutely disqualified for ANY reelection, whether immediately after his term or after an interval of one or more terms. He cannot run even for a single reelection.

So, that law clearly states that Erap is disqualified to run. He fits in the 2 clauses specified by the constitutional law. One, he has held office. Two, He is disqualified from ANY reelection. Besides, he was ousted before. Why would you vote for him again? In another point of view, those people who ousted him elected a president that they also want to oust!

Why not give other aspiring presidentiables a chance to bring this country up? I know that someone can! We must not give in to promises that we know, never came true anyways. We must vote for someone whom we think is really deserving!

The ban on reelection will also put an end or at least hamper the establishment of politiclal dynasties.

There you go. In the end, it will still be you who will decide whom to vote.

One more thing, I really hate aling dionisia's Dior shades! She wears it all the time!!! If she is being interviewed, she will slowly remove it before the interview ends! Yun lang :)

Showbiz ba? Mag-basa ka nalang ng SHOWBIZ HERE. Baka pag-tawanan ka lang pag nag-artista ka aling dionisia. Just enjoy what you have. Besides, hindi na mauubos ni Manny Pacquiao ang pera niya. Just travel around the world if I were you.

Former President Estrada to Return

Manila, Philippines - Disgraced former Philippine president and actor Joseph Estrada said Thursday he would return to the....... silver screen with the shooting of a new movie in May.

At first when I saw the news, I thought, he was having plans of "ousting" President Gloria Macapagal Arrovo. Well, it is better that he continue his show business career rather than continuing his political career.

Estrada made over a hundred movies in 30 years. He is perceived as one of the modern robin hoods in his movies.
