If you care to do your homework, check out Casino's statement at:

I'm sure you'll realize that he has very valid points against the project.

Hopefully, this is the wake-up call that the world needs. It’s through dark times like these that bring people together towards a united good. I too find it hard to see whether or not the Philippines is capable of rising when most everyone in power has no comprehension of leadership, sacrifice or service. Maybe amidst all this flood and pain is some sort of relief headed our way.

Prayers and positive thoughts to all the victims and those affected.

err, anonymous (in the first place, why defend the palace anonymously) -- note that the post above did not mention malacanang... is there something we should know?

2009-09-30T09:25:34.259+08:00

Hi to all! I am living near Malacanang and I can attest that there is nothing irregular in the way Malacanang conducted its relief operations. All of the accusations are baseless and untrue.

When I heard about the opening of an evacuation center, I immediately went to the Palace and volunteered my services. I was not paid nor are the others who also went there. Besides, the plastic bags which contains the relief goods have no signages in it, unlike those of ABS-CBN, GMA and some presidentiables who put labels in their plastic bags, which I find to be malicious.

I am not a GMA fan, but I am telling my experience so that people will not be mislead, especially now that false stories are circulating.

Now is not the time to sow intrigues, what we need is to be united in order to fend off the challenge brought about by Typhoon Ondoy.

GK OPERATION WALANG IWANAN (LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND)

Typhoon Ketsana (local name Ondoy) was one of the worst natural disasters to hit the Metro Manila area and the nearby regions of NCR (National Capital Region) in recent times, also devastating the areas of Markina, Laguna and Rizal. Men, women, children, animals, including properties throughout the affected areas suffered greatly in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Ketsana (local name Ondoy), and their difficulties are still on going today! We must all continue to come together to help the survivors fully recover from this deadly natural disaster.

Casualties included men, women, children, and even animals, property damage is already estimated to be at least $10 billion throughout the affected areas. While rescuers are still trying to save as many lives as they can, survivors will definitely need food, clean drinking water, clothing, and medical attention. Now, more than ever, we must all come together to help save as many as we can from this catastrophe.

Help rebuild lives and DONATE NOW.

@mia -- armi millare of up dharma down wrote her experience being told to flee after hearing gunshots here.

she said:

"last monday, i dropped off food at home after 2 days of living off of what was left in the fridge. after i kissed my parents goodbye, i walked along with my brother and his girlfriend in the mud and were told to run for our lives by a group of bystanders carrying what looked like their only form of weaponry: flashlights, after hearing 3 gunshots just 2 houses down. i went to the front gate on my way out after balancing myself along with my brother and his girlfriend to tell the MMDA about what happened. they seemed VERY CALM and unattentive like everything was in order.

"we drove to the nearest school, near the office of the bgy captain and they assured us that they had already sent “troops” when I DID NOT SEE ANY at the time the robbery was taking place. if not for my friend who’s the son of a high ranking police official, my mom, my dad, my brother, my aunt and uncle, cousins and friends coming over to bring food, the risk of losing the only thing i have right now would be larger than all this."

I've heard about the last two being posted in facebook. I have to say, that even without actual facts hearing about "this" (the politicians) makes me really mad. Btw, I hope you don't mind, but I reposted this in tumblr (whimsicalchild.tumblr.com)

I believe there are looters (even if I don't have solid proof). I'm mostly basing it on what happened in New Orleans. They had looters there too. And other people much worse.

I hope that eyewitness accounts will come to surface.

@atty. lat -- much appreciated, counselor.

@kristine -- let's just put a tack on it, and let's wait if mainstream media is interested in investigating the issue. much thanks.

2009-09-29T20:38:00.162+08:00

Hi Sir. I'm Kristine. I was the one who originally tweeted issue #3 (DSWD allegedly repacking ABS-CBN relief goods in Pasig, reducing package contents).

The info came from my officemate who lives in Pasig (just can't remember exactly where). He said relief goods donated by ABSCBN are being taken out from the bags by some DSWD reps designated in their area and then repack it.

As a result, bags contain varying number of goods. (kunwari, some bags contain 2 noodles while some, 3, 1, or none at all). AFAIK, dapat pare-pareho yun.

Anyway, for more info/verification, I can give his name and our contact number in the office but I may have to tell him first if someone wants to investigate further. Baka mabigla. :)

Thank you and best regards.

Kristine

2009-09-29T18:33:43.949+08:00

I agree with you completely: we need to verify the facts, and we need to get it out in the open.

I've posted a shoutout to my network on FB directing them to your blog; I do hope that's ok. This is good citizenship and public accountability in action. Thanks for starting it. Let's hope it snowballs.

Mabuhay,

*lmao* at these two.

come visit this post again after you've done your homework on the technology's capabilities and limitations, and after learning about project cost analysis -- and after learning how to engage on a point-on-point basis instead of smoke and mirrors.

(yes, anonymous, i'm by law and practice an RFID expert, just so you know, but am not affiliated with either LTO or stradcom. clearly, you aren't an expert either, and thus can do no more than bleat like a spanked sheep.)

(wasup, say what? overpriced tollgate system -- spellcheck naman, pre -- promised what?)

@gabbyd -- that's the lapse, if indeed true, that should be focused on, not some scare tactic based on unscientific imagination.

2009-09-26T13:14:04.413+08:00

The cost of RFID system does not merit its usefullness.. Initial cost is already 2.5 billion + additional 350php per tags paid by 6Million pinoy motorist.. we havent factored in maintenance cost of these system.. and yet umabot na ng 4billion total.. for what just to apprehend colorum vehicles be able to apprehend carnap cars more efficiently.. nagagawa na yan ngayun without RFID.. RFID hitech man is not yet in our best interest.. right now.. we have to put our money where it is needed most(pagawa nalang ng kalye yung gagastosin dyan)... sa taong bayan lang kukunin ang cost nyan.. not to mention baka money making machine na naman yan tulad ng overpriced tolgate system ngayun which also promissed what you have said but still upto now what 3+ years na it have not lived up to expectations.. and still gusto pa dagdagan ng RFID..
RFID will not speed up registration pipila at pupunta ka parin sa LTO.. with or without RFID para magbayad.. computerize na naman sila ano pa bang ibibilis nyan.. RFID will just be another additionasl burden..

2009-09-26T12:24:16.020+08:00

ang daming angst nang sumulat nito. akala mo kung sinong expert ng RFID. good luck sa yo! convince yourself, LTO and Stradcom. Magpa-tag ka ng ng RFID sa buo mong katawan to your heart's content.

malinaw naman na ang point ni Rep.Liza Maza and Teddy Casino as to their concerns on the process, information, cost and possible abuse na maaaring idulot ng RFID. with this present government ba naman, kahit anu-ano na lang gagawin para mandaya at mangurakot. Don't tell me di mo alam yan?

2009-09-25T22:51:21.422+08:00

i think the key issue by casiño is that the RFID tech did not go thru bidding,and did not go thru the process (was added onto the contract).

the LTO and stradcom hasn't denied any of that.

you may be right, that the P350 price tag is correct. then again, maybe not.

good read!
