MAY ELECTIONS AND FREEBIE FRIDAY

Still the election hype is not over. The Philippines eagerly anticipates the proclamation of our new leaders. For me, I believe that I did my share for my beloved country. I blogged, I went out and voted. Im just hoping that the new administration will live up to their campaign promises. And for the rest of us, we must not wait and watch that miracles will happen. Let's do our share. Help our new leaders. It is time to remove the name of our country in the list of most corrupt nations.


To help us remember that we are proud to be a Filipino, Gossip Gehl's Freebie Friday is giving away super uber cool patriotic watches. I came to know about this thru a fellow blogger. With these kind of prizes im g0nna check Freebie Friday regularly. :)

ESCAPE TO ANAWANGIN ZAMBALES

Was so excited to go to Anawangin Zambales last February with my friends. At that early, summer already began and Im dying to get a little bit of tan on my skin. It was my first time to go to Anawangin and I already made a picture on my mind how beautiful the place is. I heard it was paradise-like...

"Are we there yet?", I said soon as I sat down the car at 4:00AM and my friend was just heating up the engine.

We took the NLEX route and after eating breakfast at Petron, we are set for the long drive.

It has been approximately a 6-hour drive from Manila and I've already eaten 4 bags of potato chips.

We're still not reaching our destination and I already gained around 500 calories. My month-long diet preparing for this trip was gone to waste.. *sigh.

Just as my adrenalin was going down, I saw a glimpse of my paradise..

Oh wow! And my spirit went up again. I saw the crescent shaped beach and the clear blue green waters.

We hired a boat at Pundaquit which cost us P800 going to Anawangin. We reached there almost lunch time so it is a bit hot but I still enjoyed the boat ride.

We reached the camp site and it was not surprising that alot of vacationing people were there. Nevertheless, the campsite was clean and I love the vibe of the crowd.

There were no modern facilities. But there were open air toilets :) There were no banana boat rides, paragliding, etc. It's ok those are just the things that will destruct you from appreciating the beauty of Mother Nature.

Definitely my Anawangin trip was a bliss. Me and my friends were able to bond, chillax and get away from the stress and traffic of Manila.

Did I say Anawangin is a paradise? Yes, and an angel made a visit *ehem

WINNIE MONSOD FOR PRESIDENT? WHY NOT?

I am amused with how Winnie Monsod criticizes Manny Villar. Villar has all the power and money to sue Monsod of Perjury. But I wonder why he's not doing it? His desperate and clearly a wrong move was to drag his poor old momma to appeal to the public not to believe the 'allegations' to clear his name.


Wow, Winnie Monsod is one hell of a fearless Filipina. She's not scared that one day her expositions will cost her life just so the whole country will know what she knows.



For a long time I admire Winnie Monsod for her strong character. When she speaks, she speaks of substance.



I tried Googling Winnie Monsod and may I just quote what the Wikipedia said



"Solita Collas-Monsod, popularly known as Mareng Winnie, is a Filipino broadcaster,Host, economist, professor, and writer.



Monsod is best remembered for her role as Socio-economic Planning Secretary during the term of President Corazon Aquino and as a co-host in the GMA Network show Debate with Mare and Pare with former Pangasinan Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Oscar Orbos.



Monsod is a respected economist and political commentator in the Philippines.



Solita Monsod is married to Christian S. Monsod, a corporate executive and one-time Chairman of the Philippine Commission on Elections. They have five children holding different careers.

Monsod graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics degree, Cum Laude at the University of the Philippines in 1959. She obtained a Master of Arts in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1962 and became a Ph.D. Economics Candidate, having completed all requirements except her dissertation, in 1963.



Monsod has been teaching in the University of the Philippines School of Economics since 1963. In 2005, she was nominated to be the President of the University of the Philippines System, an office tasked with the management of all UP campuses nationwide.



Monsod is most famous for being one of the two hosts of GMA Network's now-defunct show Debate with Mare and Pare, under the moniker Mareng Winnie.



Monsod was the Cabinet Secretary of Socio-Economic Planning from 1986 to 1989 during the administration of President Corazon Aquino. She was concurrently Director-General of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), the economic policy research agency of the Philippine government.

Winnie Monsod was a member of the UN Committee for Development Planning (UNCDP) from 1987 to 2000 and the Board of Trustees of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) on January 1996. She was also a member of the Board of Advisors of Human Development Report on 1993 and the Board of Advisors of South Centre, which as established to follow-up the recommendations of the South Commission, organized in 1987 at the initiative of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad of Malaysia and chaired by Mwalimu Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, from 1991 to 1995. The Commission issued a report in 1990 entitled The Challenge of the South which has since been translated in five languages."



I admire her for her intelligence and fearless comments on erring politicians. Winnie doesn't speak out of hearsays. She makes her research and gather facts before she presents her opinion to the public. I believe she's stronger than Noynoy, honest unlikeVillar, intelligent comparable to Gibo. A true model mother just as Eddie Villanueva is a model to his followers. Amusing like Erap. Has made a name of her own unlike the other presidentiables that I have never heard of. And lastly, a TRUE economist not like Gloria.



So, Winnie Monsod for President? Yeah. Why not?

ALL ABOUT THE BALLOT

 

CHECK YOUR BALLOT BEFORE VOTING

Remember that no replacement ballot will be issued to you once your ballot is rejected by the machine so follow these steps carefully for your vote to be successfully counted.

1. Make sure that the Board of Election Inspectors (BEI) scan the UV mark detector on your ballot before giving it to you to determine that your ballot is authenticate.

2. Check is if the ballot is clean, in perfect condition and not folded. Otherwise, return the ballot to the BEI.

3. Check if all the ovals are not previously marked.

4. Look for your City/Municipality indicated in the upper left hand corner of the ballot. A PCOS machine is programmed to read only the ballots that belong to a specific City/Municipality. If your ballot indicates that it belong another City/Municipality, it will be rejected.

5. Be careful not to put marks on any part of the ballot except in the ovals of your vote.

6. Be careful not to fold the ballot.

7. Shade the oval completely. The PCOS machine will not read a check or a dot. You can download a sample ballot from HERE so you can practice shading.

8. It is ok to under vote. For example, you don’t need to complete the 12 Senators if you only want to vote for one or even none, no problem. But NEVER over vote. No vote will be credited in favor of any candidate for the position/s where you over voted, but the ballot remains valid and the votes for the other positions not affected will be counted.

9. Once you finished marking the ballot, proceed to the PCOS machine to feed the ballot yourself. No one is allowed to feed your ballot but you.

10. After your ballot was fed, don’t go right away. Wait for the PCOS machine to say

“CONGRATULATIONS

YOUR BALLOT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED” or

“YOUR VOTE HAS BEEN REGISTERED”

Ballot will be rejected by the PCOS machine if:

a. the PCOS cannot read a particular ballot when the timing mark or barcode of ballot is damaged, torn or defaced.

b. The ballot is fake or spurious

c. The ballot is invalid. When a user inserts a ballot from the wrong city/municipality for a particular PCOS unit.

d. Previously scanned ballots. - So, no need to worry. Once your ballot is accepted, anyone who will try to add votes to your ballot will never be able to feed the ballot again because the PCOS machine is programmed to scan a valid ballot only once. After that, it will be rejected.

Take your time. Let your votes be counted! ^^
