Why will I vote for Cesar Montano? (Part II)
2007-05-07 15:49:00 I apologize but Cesar Mont ano and his running for Senator has given me something to RANT about. I posted this comment on Cesar Montano’s website on his agenda related to child labor. I second the questions and concerns of Artemio De La Cruz. I echo his question - what is your solution to the problems you have indicated under your agenda? HOW will you address the issues? HOW will you implement your changes? You say “I will attack the reasons for child labor.” - HOW will you do this? You say “I will help alleviate poverty and hasten industry development by crating new laws or putting more money in their budget” - HOW will you put more money in their budget? HOW will you start to create laws? What are these laws you are thinking of creating? HOW will you implement these laws? Im afraid your response and stand on child pornography is disappointing, sad at worst. By saying “strongly believe that it is an isolated problem” - you have just lost my vote. Mine and a lot o...

Why will I vote for Cesar Montano?
2007-05-04 07:05:00 This is a question that the Team Mont ano asks in their blog. I found the link through a comment on my post on Cesar Montano making fun of politics. Sadly, Team Montano has not given me enough reason to change my mind about not voting for Cesar. Here are the 3 reasons they stated about why I should vote for him: (Quote from the site) Cesar Montano has time and time again rejected offers of endorsements of products that he thinks is against his personal beliefs and principles (he never endorsed beers, liquors and cigarettes during his career as an actor). He has lost countless millions just because he wanted to stand firm on what he believes in, on what he was taught was right. If he can do that then, what could possibly prevent him from doing it again in the senate? My response: I am like that. My dad is like that. My friend’s driver is like that. A lot of people reject things, ideas that are against their personal beliefs. I know people who have lost many things, money (maybe... More About: Vote , Will

iBlog3 - The 3rd Philippine Blogging Summit (Day 2)
2007-04-14 18:13:00 Read about Day 1 of iBlog 3 here… [Start of Day 2] Unfortunately, we arrived late and missed the first speaker - Abe Olandres who talked about his blogging success story. In addition to that, we also missed Anton’s narration of his own photoblogging success story. We arrived just as Manuel L. Quezon III was closing his statements on Phil ippine politics and the Blogosphere. The one sentence that stuck to my mind that he said was : I’m not a big believer of objectivity. Wilson Chua of eRadioportal touched on Podcasting and Videocasting and how putting media content into your site can definitely increase traffic. He was the first to talk about the Long Tail concept. He also invited all bloggers to join him in proving the Long Tail concept in the Philippines. A few minutes after, Aileen Apolo of Google Philippines stepped up to the podium carrying several bags marked with the Google logo.
