Philippine 2010 Poll Automation - in the rocks!

just when everyone thought the coast was clear for the 2010 poll automations, the winning bidders recent joust - Smartmatic and TIM - just proved how far this saga could go.

"The question is why is TIM now asserting itself against its partner Smartmatic to the point of jeopardizing the whole automation process? I think it’s not just about the money. Perhaps TIM is deliberately sabotaging the automation because it could not get its way in controlling Smartmatic’s system for the benefit of its power backers," Rep Robert Casiño stated.

today marks our 10th year together, i must say it has been a sweet journey. unfortunately, time has come for me to walk away.

through you i bravely opened up my thoughts to the world. i was able to connect with old and new friends. you bridged time, the longitudes and the latitudes. i got found and new relatives were discovered. once a year you even make me famous sending out birthday reminders. with you, i was a kid in a playground, swiping up or down till the wee hours, unconditionally tagging anyone and gleefully enjoying your games.

know that i am glad to have witnessed you grow - your fun emojis, crazy virals, and live videos i will sorely miss. oh i always thought it’s cool…
