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!

So, are you guys ready for the upcoming 2010 elections? The main question is... would the automated elections push through..? hmm...

How to Dig a Deeper Grave for the Philippines

Only 2 weeks to go before the voter registration ends.. Please, for the sake of our country, exercise your right to vote! Register to vote!

Believe me, leaving your work a day or 2 just to register to vote is more worth rather than the suffering we will all experience in a term of the wrongly elected president.

Haven't we learned our lessons yet? The more we don't vote, the more we dig a deeper grave for our country. Remember, this is our one and only country. Not only yours, not only mine. If we don't care because we think our country is a hopeless case, who will give a damn to care?

Let us not add up to the problem. The domino effect will surely hit you sooner or later. If even our leaders aren't united because of selfish ambitions and reasons, don't you think that we should be the example for them rather than waiting for them to act right? Let us stop blaming them and let us be the first right example.

Let them know that they aren't liked for what they did rather than kissing their asses because they are good to you.

Before voting, please make sure that your candidate is really qualified. Not only technically and legally but more importantly, competitively.

It doesn't mean that when everyone is doing it, it is right and vice versa. Listen to what those politicians are saying. Look at what they are doing. And finally, check out if they are doing what they are saying because these 3 are entirely different things.

So, please please please -- do register and vote so you would not be contributing to a deeper grave for our beloved Philippines. I already registered.

Also, this Friday, please support this cause -- it's a concert. To enter, just bring
donations for those affected by Typhoon Pepeng and Ondoy (Although not required, better if you have).

Will you go for Bayani Fernando in 2010?

Chairman, as people call him, is a professional Mechanical Engineer. He has built some of the country's tallest buildings, shopping malls, industrial and residential subdivisions. "BF" also owns the BF group of companies.

He was,
-the former secretary of DPWH
-former mayor (3 terms) of Marikina
-confered the Doctor of Humanities
-Honoris Causa
-The outstanding Filipino award for government service
-HR Reyes Academic medallion of honor

I liked one of his sayings and it goes...

"As a leader, I cannot cry with the poor for if my eyes are blinded with tears, how will I lead them out of poverty?"

It was just lately that I realized that there were some deeper explanation on why he would shoo-away the illegal sidewalk vendors. Chairman BF might not get the votes of those illegal vendors but, he will get the votes of those legal vendors inside the market!

In another point of view, how many people have you heard died because BF drove them away of the pedestrian lane for selling? None! How many people have died because they do not have sidewalks to walk on thus, making it more prone to cars hitting them. Have you ever thought of that way?

Another project is the gwapotel. It is not your ordinary hotel. It's a place where you can sleep and stay for 10 hours for just 25 pesos. With that, you get 8 minutes of shower time for free! (additional 5 pesos for another 8-minute extension) (Boys and girls part their ways on the lobby).

Of all the possible candidates for the 2010 presidential run, only Chairman Bayani Fernando have demonstrated the political will this country needs.

Of course, other presidentiables have their own advantages. Will you go for BF?
