YESTERDAY, I spoke twice before a 13-person group of
visiting Afghan local officials, who will be here in Naga until tomorrow. Their trip is being coordinated by the Gerry Roxas Foundation, in partnership with the Ateneo de Naga University Center for Local Governance.From their faces and reactions, our visitors were quite excited about our little urban democracy project. From time to time, they will cut my explanations short while discussing the most suitable of our canned powerpoint slides, and through their very efficient interpreters inquire as to how innovative schemes like the
Naga City People's Council actually work.But [...]

ONE NEWS item that generated very little attention here, but one which will greatly impact the Bicol tourism market in the next few years is budget carrier
Cebu Pacific Airway's move to acquire up to 14 brandnew turboprops from the French aviation company Avions de Transport Regional (ATR).This
Inquirer story lifted from an Agence France-Presse report is rather staid; the
official press release at the Cebu Pacific website fills in the gap.But the significance of the move is explained by Philippine Star business columnist Boo [...]

Kailangan bang imodifay ang dizayn ng bandila ng Pilipinas? Ito ang pumasok sa isip ko matapos mapakinggan ang kantang Tatsulok ng bandang Bamboo. Ang puting trayanggel sa flag natin ay sumisimbolo ng pagkakapantay-pantay at sa Katipunan.

Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo

At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw

Baka mapagkamalan kat humandusay dyan sa tabi

My column for last week's issue of Vox Bikol.ONE OF the most fascinating lectures that we managed to arrange for the visiting graduate students from the
University of British Columbia was one we never actually expected: it was leading Bikolano historian Danilo Gerona’s talk last Friday (May 18) on the Philippine and Bikol situation.I saw Danny at Mister Donut in E-Mall the previous afternoon and still without a resource person on the topic, which is supposed to provide the larger context to the governance in Naga, I managed to cajole him to take on the offer. When I introduced [...]

EVER SINCE I
joined Google Adsense and placed some ads in this weblog, I never fail to notice why of all things, an
Indian dating site keeps on appearing quite persistently, to the point it has become annoying.Nonetheless, since the images are being fed directly by Adsense, and there is nothing I can do about it aside from taking them down, I have learned to live with them. But the why part remains a mystery.Until I added the new widget

DEAN JORGE Bocobo of
Philippine Commentary asks: "Can the big idea behind Namfrel be saved?" This question becomes relevant particularly because for the first time since I can remember, Namfrel always finishes its quick count first. But no,
not this election.In response, I will put forward the idea of using a cameraphone to do the trick and save the Namfrel count, which, under the scheme being proposed by DJB, will no longer be a quickcount but a parallel count for verification.Actually, before leaving home for office, where [...]

THE HECTIC morning sessions we arranged for the
visiting UBC students the whole of last week proved too taxing I had to take a breather the last few days; this week, most of them will be off to gather data for their research, culminating with a public presentation on June 6 and 7.But yesterday and the other day, what attracted my attention is the on-going information campaign being undertaken by the Naga City Council for Culture and the Arts in regard of the proposal to change the name of Plaza Quezon to Plaza Arejola, in honor of the Bikol [...]

Election result is almost out. GO dominates and only 2 from TU will have the chance to join the 12 seats for senate. Tessie and Tito will not make it to the senate this time around, as well as all actor-candidates. Specially Chavit! He thought the hostage drama and helicoper crash will turn out to be favorable for him. Seemed like voters are now thinking clearly and “hocus pocus” did not find it's way to change the outcome. Too bad, about a hundred plus died on what comelec pronounced as "very peaceful election".Naga City voters, as usual, is the [...]

YESTERDAY, I made a number of comments on Dean Jorge Bocobo's
fascinating entry on automating of elections. Essentially, Dean's arguments center on the use of cellphones to transmit results from the precinct to a central level, which would allow faster tabulation of results, especially for national contests.In a way, it differs from
Ruben Canlas's proposal which is centered on internet voting, and Jester-in-Exile's very detailed two-part description of a fully automated voting system found
here and
here. And I find myself agreeing to its underlying logic for practical reasons. Some notes are in order:1. CELLPHONES. From [...]
