Parallels: Tiananmen Square and Luneta [Repost from Barrio Siete]

Posted by Silver on Aug 29, 2010 in Barrio Siete, Commentaries and Opinions, News, Politics

Blogger’s Note: I am reposting this article from Barrio Siete which I found interesting to take note of. This is not to incite hate against the Chinese or what but it’s more on looking to the other side: the government treatment, the scenario and the people involved and other circumstances that might contributed to the [...]

Media Shares a Part of the Blunder Too

Posted by Silver on Aug 26, 2010 in Commentaries and Opinions, News

Share
Its not only the police response to the hostage crisis that should be examined: the Philippine media has its own share of blunder too.
Is there such thing as absolute press freedom?

INCOMPETENT PNP: The Quirino Grandstand Carnage

Posted by Silver on Aug 24, 2010 in Commentaries and Opinions, News

Share

The State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Aquino III created a buzz among the people: some people find the SONA to be a blockbuster-tell-all-the-truth scenario, others find it some sort of reminiscing of PGMA’s administration and decry all the anomalies that happened during that term.
In other words, some people may [...]

Share
I saw this post in Barrio Siete – a list that contains the names of unopposed candidates from different locations in our country. I am wondering how COMELEC just let this pass. How can they call the elections in those locations? Election pa ba ang matatawag kung unopposed ang mga candidates sa lugar ninyo?
Here is [...]

Glitches Galore

Posted by Silver on May 4, 2010 in Commentaries and Opinions, News, Politics

I dunno if COMELEC is aware of testing and configuration when it comes to automated devices. Earlier today, it was reported that certain PCOS machines experienced glitches during the reading of the ballots in Makati, Paranaque, Mindoro and Batangas. As of this posting time, reports of PCOS machines in Batangas have experienced 100 percent glitch [...]
