Why is the Comelec favoring Smartmatic? – poll watchdog Volume IV, No. 069 web portal: www.mindanaodailynews.com

By MARYA SALAMAT of Bulatlat.com

FOR the 2016 elections, Filipinos have the option to use an automated poll system that its developers and supporters described as cheaper, transparent, auditable, secure and a product of Filipino ingenuity. It thus seems to address the complaints and criticisms leveled against the PCOS-

based system that had been used twice in the country. “The Philippines is one of the biggest exporters of software to developed countries, why do we have to buy technology from foreigners especially from foreigners not known for it?” former Comelec Commissioner Gus Lagman asked at a press conference last month. He and his colleagues from election watchdogs unveiled

their proposed alternative systems for automated polls. Earlier, one of their proposals, the so-called “hybrid” poll system, has been rejected by the Comelec, which cited the law’s mandate for fully automated polls. Their latest proposal is the fully automated election system dubbed as TAPAT. But when Comelec chief Andres Bautista announced this week that they are open

to two options, it excluded TAPAT. The Comelec’s two options are both cornered by foreign vendor Smartmatic: for the refurbishment of more than 80,000 PCOS machines and for the lease or procurement of new PCOS-like OMR (Optical Mark Reader). Seeking to replace Smartmatic’s PCOS, OMR TAPAT is conceived and

engineered as an alternative to foreign provider Smartmatic’s PCOS, and their new OMR (Optical Mark Reader) offered, too, by Smartmatic. Developed by Filipino computer engineers Arnold and Angelo Villasanta, TAPAT’s poll machine was first presented during a press conference early last month. The second was in July 20, in a mock election held at

Pamantasang Lungsod ng Maynila, where superstar Nora Aunor was among the 200 “voters.” She praised TAPAT citing the ease of use and the fact that she saw how her votes were recorded and counted. According to the developers and supporters of TAPAT election system, it is simple to use; it offers options to correct or See watchdog, page A11

BIOMETRICS REGISTRATION AT SM ON AUGUST 10

‘No bio, no boto’

DAVAO City––Aside from a disaster management plan, the city needs an impact reduction study that will provide estimates on the number of people who would be killed or injured in case a 7.2-magnitude earthquake occurs, an official of the Office Civil Defense (OCD) XI said. Speaking at the Kapihan sa NCCC Mall on Friday, OCD XI director Liza Mazo said the city lacks a study like the “Metropolitan Manila Earthquake Impact Reduction Study”. Done by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the study estimated around 34,000 deaths and 18,000 injured people if a strong quake hits Metro Manila. The metropolis has been girding for the “Big One,” See study, page A11

Join the Evolution: Honda Click 125i

Honda revolutionizes the world of scootering with their latest offering in the automatic motorcycle segment, the Click 125i. The Click 125i presents an aggressive and sporty design with a sleek and innovative look based on the image of the new engine featuring cutting-edge technology and an exhilarating ride, while projecting a “slim & sharp” futuristic image”. Honda’s dedication to provide the Joy of riding a motorcycle is demonstrated through the use of the revolutionary HONDA SMART TECHNOLOGY. The Click 125i brings future technology to the present with cutaway innovations never seen before in the local motorcycle history such as Enhance Smart Power (eSP), Idling Stop System (ISS) and Combined Brake System (CBS). Honda’s eSP or Enhanced Smart Power is an advance engine technology that combines high power and high fuel efficiency with a quiet start and smooth eco-friendly engine. eSP technology is able to maximize the efficient combustion and minimize friction to reduce the risk of waste, and to optimize the energy out. eSP technology is integrated with the Unique Honda ACG starter that is able to start the engine jolt free and with a more refined sound, as well as the basis for the application of advanced feature Idling Stop System (ISS). The benefit of Honda Smart Technology is further optimized with the advent of technology Combi-Brake System (CBS) which balances

braking the rear wheels and front optimally. The Honda ACG starter is exclusively developed for comfortable frequent operation of the idling Stop System. The engine is started via the same AC generator used to generate electricity and charge the battery while riding. This eliminates the need for a conventional starter motor, thus there are no reduction gears and gear meshing noises… just smooth, quiet starts. The PGM-FI built-in Liquid cooled engine boasts of 8.40 kW (11.4PS) @8500 RPM maximum power and 11.16 N.m @6500 RPM maximum torque and delivers class leading fuel efficiency of 64.3 km/liter at 50kph or 58.9KM/liter under ECE R40 testing method *<Actual fuel consumption may be higher or lower depending on drivers habit and actual driving condition>. The Idling Stop System (ISS) of the Click 125i is one of the reasons for its fuel efficiency. Compared to the conventional engine which continuously consumes fuel once the engine is started, ISS eliminates wasteful fuel consumption by automatically switching the engine off after 3 seconds in traffic lights and other brief stops; and when you have to move all you have to do is just to twist the throttle to Start up and Go in less than a second. In addition, the New Honda Click 125i eSP also features dependable Honda Safety and Security features like standard automatic Side Stand Switch where the engine does not start

up when in the down position, and Brake Lock easily operated to prevent the motor jump when started or remains in the idle state when stopped on a hill. Bigger tubeless tires for better traction and more secure feeling and comfort compared to other brands. Another excellent feature is the ever reliable safety

magnetic key (Magnetic Key Shutter) which effectively prevents theft and push-button seat opener. The New Honda Click 125i eSP also has the largest luggage capacity in its class at 18 liters which is capable of storing a Full-face helmet. Image of this Futuristic Super Sport Scooter is complemented

by its LCD Meter Panel and class leading Dual Keen Eyes LED Headlight projecting a commanding “NightFace-Image”. The LED headlight provides a better advantage for the rider through 80% higher light intensity, 80% more efficient power consumption, and longer lifetime. With the latest

technology and appearance, the All New Honda Click 125i is offered at a reasonable price of SRP PhP 87,900.00 and available in 3 premium colors, Pearl Horizon White, Asteroid Black Metallic and Candy Rosy Red with Honda Genuine Accessories in selected Honda 3S shops.

Cooperatives: Dreaming big, why not? Once a journalist, you will always have that itch to write. I have not stopped writing since joining government, yes, the bureaucracy, some four months ago, but not this kind of writing. With the work load I am having now, I could have dealt with the itch to write my column or a news story for next time, until my mentor in journalism Carolyn Arguillas, editor and founder of Mindanao News and Information Service Cooperative Center (MindaNews) suggested I write about cooperatives. There are a lot of things happening in the cooperative movement which is celebrating its centennial year. These things are from the current campaign for cooperatives to acquire, operate and manage the Agus Pulangi Hydro Electric Power Plants to the upcoming launching of the KoopTV Federation, the KooperatiBalita magazine, to converting electric cooperatives into genuine, consumer-owned cooperatives, so on and so forth. The newly appointed chairman of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), Orlando R. Ravanera has been known for his environmental activism. He is an astute community development worker, writer, activist and more importantly dreamer. He is one of the believers that the current socioeconomic system of the world is collapsing, and that the tipping point has been reached. But unlike doomsayers, he

only chance to buy a nice little house and a better life. The daughter saw the money as her only chance to go to medical school and become a doctor. But the older brother wanted the $100,000 to start a business with his friend. He promised his mother and sister that he would soon pay back the money. Well, the mother decided to give her son the one chance he needed to start a business and become successful. But just a few days later, that son’s business friend took all the money

is optimistic there is hope – through cooperativism. Be believes that the intrinsic design of the cooperative or its ‘DNA’ sort of, is the anti-thesis to the growth-at-all-cost, consumerist throw-away system that has resulted in gross social inequities. That cooperativism which is anchored on the principles of member ownership; value-based and sustainability can be a potent anti-thesis to the failed neo-liberal economic system. I had asked many cooperative leaders and prime movers if indeed the cooperative movement in the country is ready for an ideological discourse of this sort. Some say the movement is indeed ready; others say it should be pursued, first by firming up the movement’s identity and taking stock of its contribution to nationbuilding. Currently, there are 24,652 registered cooperatives nationwide. According to the CDA, cooperatives directly employed 520,758 Filipinos and indirectly employed 1,923,047 others as of December 2014. Their combined assets are over P600 billion. Compared to the country’s macro economy, these

may be small figures, but placed in the right context that these figures came from 13,000 million ordinary Filipinos who have decided to embrace cooperativism, this is a huge number. More importantly, it shames the culture of mendicancy which has seeped into the veins of our state systems. Successful cooperatives have shown that it is possible for ordinary people to pool their resources and grow their enterprises big and play in the big league. As an acknowledgment of the successes of cooperatives, Ravanera sees the potential for cooperatives to even grow bigger, not to accumulate more wealth, but to reach out to more people and contribute more to the betterment of society. At first when the idea of cooperatives acquiring, operating and managing the Agus-Pulangi hydro complex emerged, many took it as a joke. But when around 5,000 people from all over Mindanao gathered in Cagayan de Oro last June 8 for the Mindanao Cooperative Energy Summit and launching of the 1Mindanao Energy Cooperative (1MIECOOP) federation, energy stakeholders started taking the bid seriously.

Mindanao-based cooperatives and large cooperatives from the Visayas and Luzon can raise the capital to acquire, manage and operate the privatization-bound power facilities which could supply up to 60 percent of Mindanao’s power needs. Former Energy Secretary Jericho Petilla himself admitted that if the Agus-Pulangi goes to the cooperatives, the bigger winner will be the power consumers who will enjoy more of the island’s cheaper power rates. He even said that if the cooperatives can sustain their bid, eventually banks will knock on their doorsteps and offer financial services. “Eh ganun din naman mangyari if big private companies bid for the Agus-Pulangi, they will just raise the equity and loan from the banks the rest of the capital,” he said. The only difference is that if ordinary people invest in their cooperative for the Agus-Pulangi venture, it is not like capitalists venturing to gain profit but rather democratizing the power sector and protecting their interests to have reliable and cheap electricity. It is literally putting power in the hands of the people. 1MIECOOP started as a dream. It may not have become a reality as yet, but it has proven to be a doable venture.

of. But her mother stopped her and said to her daughter: “Don’t you know that the time to love somebody is not just when they’re doing well. That’s not real love. Real love is loving someone when they’re at their worst and failed. When they can’t believe in themselves. It’s now that your brother needs our love and acceptance the most! And if you haven’t learned that, then you haven’t learned anything!” That’s the kind of love and mercy God has given you and me. There’s no possible way we can ever earn or deserve God’s love and forgiveness. We’re like the soldier in Napolean’s army who was

being punished for a crime he had done. His mother begged the great leader Napolean for mercy on her son. Napolean said: “Woman, your son does not deserve mercy.” And the mother answered: “I know, sir. If he deserved it, then it would not be mercy.” You see, it’s God’s mercy and love that Jesus Christ died to give us. Because He knows it’s our only hope for a better life both now, and after we die. So won’t you ask Jesus right now for His gift of mercy and new life? Just ask Him to forgive you for all your wrongs in the past, and to help you start changing with Him in charge of your life today, and every day. Just Think a Minute.

the government decided to use it. Neither is the OMR. Temario Rivera, former professor and chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of the Philippines-Diliman and current chairman of the board of Center for People Empowerment in Governance, praised the hybrid poll system and TAPAT fully-automated poll system as “excellent demonstrations of the ingenuity of Filipino IT experts.” “Can you imagine if the government is receptive? With material support, we can come out with a system that’s transparent, far less costly, and to be donated to school children and school teachers,” he said at a press conference. Lawyer Emmanuel Luna criticized the Comelec’s seeming bias for Smartmatic. “These people have been

trying to discredit AES Watch and they’ve been promoting Smartmatic, and they shouldn’t be doing that because there is an ongoing bidding. That’s graft and corruption,” Luna said. Citing the law on procurement, Luna reminded the government that the law mandates that Filipino science and technology should be promoted and assisted and financed by the state. He clarified also that they are not harboring personal or ill feelings against the Comelec, which “has no monopoly of what’s good for the elections.” In fact, lawyer Luna said, they have been trying to help the Comelec. “We hope those in authority will be willing to try our technological innovation,” Villasanta told the media.

Career day excites DGK CS kiddos By Ana Maria S. Timogan, PhD, School Principal

Career day events always excites many children at Digkilaan Central School, Northeast IIB District, Iligan City Northern Mindanao. The campus has been filled with students dressed in their career attire. There were doctors, nurses, engineers, seaman, models, teachers, policemen, flight attendants among others. The activity happened last July 29, 2015 as part of the Department Order 25s. 2015 which was also required in a memorandum to all school heads by Iligan Division Superintendent, Randolph B. Tortola, CESO VI to implement Career Guidance Week Celebration from July 27-31, 2015. The activity was made innovative in the mentioned school because children were selected for the best in career attire through ramp modeling based on criteria observed by the judges. “It is a good example of teachers caring for their learners and help them make the right choices”, said Atty. Rejoice Subejano, from SD Law firm. He added that the secret then for successful individuals is to obey their parents. The lawyer known for his prowess in public speaking earned a laudable applause and recognition from the audience. The participants, especially the parents were very glad that they had taken part in this activity as it served as an eye opener for them

in relation to the important role in helping their children choose the right career choice based on their interests, personalities, and demands of the labor market. It is expected that in the

Yes, teachers play a vital role in the life of a child. It is we who educate future generations.We are the one who inspires and mold them to be a better person.There has never been a question in my mind about the importance of teaching as a profession.In fact for me, teaching is a calling.It takes a special person to dedicate themselves to help guide our children in their academic,social,spiritual and emotional development.

After all, we know there is much more to the job than imparting knowledge. In the sixth-hours a day children with us, we care for and nurture the whole child-not just their brains but the whole being. This is now the right time to be a teacher.

schooling, there should be a strong partnership between the school and parents. The role of the school is to provide good reasons on why pupils must go to school. Example for this is by reminding pupils time to time the value of learning, the enjoyment in learning and the long-term benefit of Education. Education should as well continue even at home. Parents must instill learning through helping the children in their assignments and homework, answering curious questions and even explaining about things they see in the surroundings. Learning should not stop so that the flow will go on and on until pupils themselves would appreciate learning. In result, they will go to school not just because they have to, but as well they want to. That is when they learn to value education.

Inculcating the Value of Learning among Pupils

Encouraging interest of learning among young people is quite challenging. It takes strong power of convincing and amount of sweet taste to fully push them to go to and appreciate school. In order for students to have consistent interest in

Education: Passport to Better Future By SHIELA S. GOSANES Teacher – Applicant Division of Cagayan de Oro City

It might sound as a cliche, but it is embedded in the mind of people, especially to us Filipinos, the value of having an education. That is why most Filipino parents go heaven and earth just to send their children to school. For one, attaining education is a passport in going through real life, the life one has to face after school. Hunting for a job is commonly the beginning of this so-called “real life.” Looking for a job is undeniably tough, knowing that there are several people who badly want to be accepted too. Being educated will make a person understand critical situations, provide wise answers and achieve smart decisions. These skills are necessary during application, in order to convince and gain the approval of company employers. Having education is preparing oneself to bigger challenges in life. This is a form of equipping tools to win all these challenges in the future. Education is the passport for better future.

New attitudes towards the environment will be reflected in decisions at home and in corporate boardrooms around the world.”Bernice Goldsmith from Toronto “Twenty years ago, as we decided to intensify our forest exploitation, we just thought the resource is available, and we just took it. At the time, we also thought the intensive selecting out of the trees being cut wouldn’t destroy forest regeneration. Because not all of the trees were being cut. But we forgot that we don’t know yet about how the tropical forest should be rehabilitated. An indigenous species such as meranti, . . . Rami, is our high-valued wood, a timber that cannot make a shadow in its particular period of growth. And it cannot survive without that shadow. And we still didn’t think about it, we just accepted the technology from the west that we have to cut, to exploit our forest”( Emmy H.Dharsono). Our little forest in La Trinidad is no longer a forest when exploited for a building project. Its easy to cut big trees in an hour or two, but difficult to let it grow one tree in five years. Sambag, and other indigenous fruits of Mindanao are worthy to be conserved. God didn’t made them mistakenly. He made them for a purpose. “All of us in Africa are slowly waking up to the fact the African crisis is essentially an environmental

problem that has precipitated such adverse symptoms as drought, famine, desertification, overpopulation, environmental refugees, political instability, widespread poverty, etc. We are awaking to the fact that if Africa is dying it is because her environment has been plundered, over exploited, and neglected. Many of us in Africa are also waking up to the realization that no good Samaritans will cross the seas to come to save the African environment. Only we Africans can and should be sufficiently sensitive to the well being of our environment” (Rahab W.Mwatha), No other Good Samaritans will save our environment. We are benefited because our parent did not consume all resources and gave us the little forest to conserve our remaining water table in our locality. What should be left to our next next generation if we will exploit trees today!. . Cutting one will allow molecules of water to run out. Lets save our natures’ water table. “The world is unfortunately not what we would like to be. The problems are many and great. Actually they can only be solved with cooperation and quick-wittedness. I represent an organization called ‘Nature and Youth’. I know that i have full support among our members when I say that we are worried about the future if drastic changes do not take place, concerning the world’s way of treating our essential condition, nature. We who work with youth, and are youth ourselves in Norway today, know very well how the destroying of nature leads to an apathetic fear among youth concerning their future and how it will run out. It is of great importance that common people get the chance to take part in deciding how nature should be treated. (Frederic Hauge) There are numerous signs that the loss of species and their ecosystems is being taken seriously as a phenomenon that carries practical implications for people all around the world, now and for generations to come. The recent rise in public concern can be seen in such developments as the growth in Kenya’s Wildlife Clubs, now numbering more

than 1,500 school clubs with around 100, 000 members. A parallel development in conservation in Zambia. In Indonesia, some 400 conservation groups have joined together under the banner of the Indonesian Environmental Forum and exert strong political influence. In the United States, membership of Audubon Society reached 385,000 in 1985. In the Soviet Union nature clubs have over 35 million members. All of these indicate that the public puts a value on nature that is beyond the normal economic imperatives. (WCED, 1987) People of the world put the value of nature in their hearts. This is a practice worthy of emulation. . “I think there must be a persistent push, a persistent effort. . .” “We move towards attacking the sources and not the effects. . . .this definitely provides experiences that underline the need for a more complete and comprehensive thinking. . .we meet the problems of international relations and environment. . . Difficulties in cooperation with authorities” The same difficulty that we will meet if we strive to work hard to protect our environment when the person in authorities are not cooperating. We teachers are one of the persons in authorities. Rolf Marstrander “A forest is an ecosystem that exists under certain environmental conditions, and if you change the conditions, the system is going to change. It is a very difficult task for ecologists to foresee what changes are going to be because the systems are so enormously complex. The direct causes behind an individual tree dying can be far removed from the primary pressure that brought the whole system into equilibrium. One time it might be ozone, another time it might be SO2 a third time it might be aluminum poisoning. I can express myself by an analogy: If there is famine, there are relatively few people who die directly fro starvation; they die from dysentery or various infectious diseases. And in such a situation, it is not of very much help to send medicine instead of food. That means that in this situation, it is necessary to address the primary pressures against

the ecosystem.” Alf Johne Atmospheric pollution, once only perceived as a local urban industrial problem involving people’s health. Is now also seen as a much more complex issue encompassing buildings, ecosystems, and public health over vast regions. During transport in the atmosphere, emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides and volatile hydrocarbons are transformed into sulfuric and nitric acids, ammonium salt and ozone. They fall to the ground , sometimes many hundreds and thousands of kilometers from the origins as dry particles or in rain, snow, frost, fog and dew. . . . They are growing rapidly. They damage vegetation, contribute to land and water pollution, and corrode buildings, metallic structures and vehicles. . . There was little evidence of tree damage in Europe in 1970. In 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany reported visible leaf damage in its forest plot samples nationwide amounting in 1983 to 34% and rising in 1985 to 50% . . . So far an estimated 14% of European forest land is affected. (WCED, OUR COMMON FUTURE p. 179). “Many people feel that environmental issues are “someone else problem” Increasing environmental awareness changes this misconception into a belief that preserving the environment is everyone’s responsibility. Action stemming from this awareness begins when each person make a commitment to change at least one environmentally unfriendly habit. If its person makes a small individual effort, together it equals a movement. (Members of US Peace Corps 245) “The major problem of the world are the result of the difference between the way nature works and the way (people) think” Gregory Bateson Indeed, if trees and buildings are harmed by these pollutants much more for us if these two are gone. These acidic substances even uproot trees and make our waters acidic too. More risks and damages we can expect in zero building and zero trees. Could we imagine this phenomenon to reach our space?

DSWD implements projects amidst conflict and inconveniences Lanao del Norte --The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development implements PAMANA or Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan, a special project of the government focusing the 5 most conflict affected municipalities of Lanao del Norte namely Sultan Naga Dimaporo, Sapad, Munai, Baloi and Pantar as identified by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Process (OPAPP). To recall, Lanao del Norte is one of the widelyknown affected provinces during the 2000 all-

out war in Mindanao. The unending cycle of violence and grief since, has shown 800,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), civilians and children. However, the cost of conflict may actually outweigh the toll on human lives and damaged properties because internal displacement have a serious longterm impact especially on the children. Apart from being the most vulnerable persons during conflict, most of these children are forced to skip schooling because of conflict and work instead in order to survive. The aftermath of conflict in this province is evidently seen and felt by the field workers of DSWD, such that inconvenience in transportation, unsound peace and order, community participation, political dynamics among other challenges which somehow affects program implementation. However, being the lead agent of social protection services, the department is committed to realize it mission and vision of a well-empowered society.

The PAMANA is a 3-year cycle program began in 2013 with a budget of P36 Million, with each cycle year, 122 barangays of the said municipalities are receiving the said budget allocation for their respective community projects not more than P300,000 each. The program modalities include organization of Community Core Group and Peoples Organization who will identify, establish, manage and operate a community project. Their choices of project can be identify from manufacturing or processing facilities, equipment for common service facilities and transport facilities. To date, the program has established 940 community projects amounting to 109,800,000.00. The SLP-PAMANA will conclude by the end of this year. The program implementation in such areas are just few of the many interventions of DSWD geared towards poverty alleviation and community empowerment. Written by Jamila M. Taha, DSWD

In Barangay Capucao, SND, Lanao del Norte, the people walk through this uphill and rocky road to do their everyday activities. Apparently, there has been no other interventions in this area except for DSWD social protection programs. People are hoping for construction of Farm-to-Market road to ease their living condition.

It was amazing to see this project established and operational amidst all these challenges. Accordingly people collaborated their labor force to deliver the materials needed to complete this Corn Mill project amounting to P300,000. People are overwhelmed and thankful for this project as it does not only ease their livelihood but also increases their income.

On the other hand, the municipal mayor of Munai, Lanao del Norte, Hon. Muammar Macquiling, expressed his sincerest gratitude to DSWD in all it programs implemented in his municipality. “I am so thankful that you included Munai as one of the recipients of your programs, this endeavor gives opportunity to break the biases and criticisms towards our municipality as a war torn area”, he says.

Meanwhile in Barangay Karkum, Sapad, Lanao del Norte, this is what their road looks like when you visit their area. It will take you a 2 hour walk uphill and will pass through this rapids before you reach their residence.

In Brgy. Karkum, the people shared that they were able to complete the construction of the concrete Solar Dryer and Corn Mill by making use of their horses in transporting the needed materials. “It took a lot of time and effort to complete the project but it was all worthy, because this is the first time that we have receive aid from the government” says the association’s president.

Mazo said a study like JICA’s is necessary to determine the risk levels for each area in Davao City, which has not been hit by a strong earthquake. The study will equip the local government to better prepare in extreme cases, she said. But she added the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) in Davao has a software that can estimate the number of deaths in a severely affected area. “Earthquake cannot kill. What kill are the things that fall on the people,” said Desiderio Cabanlit, research specialist at Phivolcs-Davao. He said that while the city sits on soft soil buildings can withstand a strong jolt with proper engineering interventions. Infrastructures that were built some 50 or 60 years ago may not be able to withstand a strong earthquake, Cabanlit said. He urged developers to follow the National Building Code of the Philippines that sets the standards of construction, especially for high-rise buildings. The city government held its earthquake and tsunami drill for its 21 coastal barangays last July 23, a week ahead of the drills in Metro Manila. The drill aimed to gauge the preparedness of the coastal communities, test the early warning devices installed in those areas, and mobilize the city’s equipment for disaster response. Mazo lauded the city for its initiative to better equip the communities with the right knowledge on what to do during disasters. She said community participation is necessary based on the drills done in Metro Manila. She said that compared to public schools in the city the participation in the communities needed improvement. The city’s 911 chief Emmanuel Jaldon previously said that the residents’ level of awareness on disaster risk reduction and management is high but preparedness is low. He said the residents did not show interest in the drill initiated by the city government or by the barangays.

from page A1 extraction of international companies in the Philippine Island of Mindanao,” the city council said in explaining why it gave the honor to Sr. Stella, who serves as chair of Samin. “The number of violations against the human rights of indigenous peoples of Mindanao, caused by military and paramilitary units, have [sic] increased dramatically in the past two years with over one hundred killed. “The Catholic nun engages herself extraordinarily for the rights of the native population, despite being exposed to permanent threats to her safety due to her engagement,” it added. Sr. Stella, also the secretarygeneral of Panalipdan! Mindanao, joined the campaign against BHP Billiton’s Pujada nickel mining project and Phil Youbang’s gold mining project in Davao Oriental in 2008. “Sr. Stella was subjected to harassment and threats and was even tagged as an NPA rebel pretending to be a nun because of her fearless advocacy for the protection of the environment,” Samin said. “She is one of the 15 leaders of various progressive organizations who are victims of Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation (SLAPP) suits filed by the government to silence them of their advocacies. The leaders, including Sr. Stella, were accused of kidnapping and serious illegal detention, and human trafficking of Lumad evacuees to Davao City,” the group added. Sr. Stella will receive the award on Dec. 10, International Human Rights Day. The Award for Human Rights of the City of Weimar has been awarded since 1995. It gives recognition to people who work for the right to free speech of individuals to free information, participation of human beings in the public affairs of their states, respect and preservation of political, ethnic, cultural and religious rights of minorities, among others.

from page A1 change votes yet still make the ballot valid for scanning; it promotes accuracy during vote counting; and it is capable of doing random audit at the precinct level. “It is more advanced than PCOS or OMR,” said Nelson Celis, spokesperson of Automated Election System Watch (AES Watch), an IT professor in La Salle and former president of Philippine Computer Society. The TAPAT election technology combines in one machine the OMR and a printer of vote receipt they call as voter verified paper audit trail or VVPAT, which also has a number corresponding to the particular voter who cast it. Its machine also counts the votes cast in that particular precinct, makings both the voting and the counting transparent. “In Smartmatic’s PCOS, we don’t see how they count it. The ballot is fed to the machine. A few weeks later, they tell us who wins,” said Lagman. Angelo Villasanta said they tried to make voting easier and more economical. They drew on the concept of placing bets on lotto, so in TAPAT system, voters are to shade ballots corresponding to preassigned numbers of their chosen candidates. To ensure the number they shade corresponds to their candidate, on the table where they will vote there would be a list of all candidates with picture and number. Each TAPAT machine is like a complete voting counter. Their ballot is bigger than a lotto ticket, but at least three times shorter than the ballot fed to PCOS. Villasanta suggested that the more affordable TAPAT poll system can help resolve the problem of overcrowded clustered precincts, where it is the people who suffer. He asked for people’s support for their innovation. Cheaper, more practical poll system The Villasantas estimate t he c o st of e a ch TA PAT poll machine to be between P16,000 ($350) to P18,000 ($393). On behalf of the election watchdogs and IT groups who have been critical of Smartmatic’s PCOS, they are donatRepublic of the Philippines Department of Transportation and Communication LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING & REGULATORY BOARD Regional Office No.10, Apovel, Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City CLEOFE DECENA Applicant/s

ing the open-source program and design of the TAPAT poll system to the government. So, its cost is just for the total of the components such as the tablet computer and receipt printers, paper and the machine’s housing when put together. The Villasantas said the cost would be lower per machine since the government can buy the component gadgets in bulk. If the government will approve the TAPAT poll system now, Celis said, the government could immediately set things in motion for the assembly of TAPAT machines. He told Bulatlat.com it is easy to use as most people are now familiar with smartphones and tablet computers. TAPAT thus cost at least six times lower than PCOS or OMR, which cost the public more than a hundred thousand pesos each. Lagman added, it also has “no hidden cost” like the PCOS, for which the government spends up to P400 million ($8.74 million) a year just for warehousing. The election watchdog AES Watch is urging the government to just donate the component gadgets of TAPAT to teachers or public schools after the elections. They added that because the TAPAT machine costs less than PCOS or OMR, it gives rise to the possibility of increasing the number of precincts, or the number of TAPAT machines, so voters are more readily able to vote, more comfortable and less crowded, and teachers are not as harassed. Villasanta added that unlike PCOS, the tablet computer is not sensitive to the paper being fed to it for reading. Returning transparency, people’s ability to guard election results … In both the TAPAT and the hybrid poll system earlier rejected by Comelec, Lagman said their goal was to bring back transparency in counting election results. Lagman said the (opaque) PCOS technology and Comelec’s disabling of various safety features in transmission of results have made the election results vulnerable to tampering. In fact, much of the transparency the election watch-

dogs seek to bring to automated polls revolve around recovering from Comelec and the national government the centralized power it had gained over the automated polls. In the manual elections, candidates and poll watchers can check the ballots being read, and the number of votes being transmitted from precinct level and up. All these became the sole domain of national government in PCOS-based poll automation. Unfortunately, because there are yet no implementing rules and regulations accompanying the poll automation law, critics and watchdogs complain of Comelec’s dismissal of their questions by citing its own interpretation of the law. Lagman recalled their shock at various actions in past elections in which the Comelec had opened ballot boxes, ordered the reprogram of vote counting, among others, and no one can check or verify the integrity of the end result. Citing their use of lottotype ballot and ATM-type receipt, they also said the poll system should adjust to the people, and not the other

way around. “Comelec made people adjust to the machine,” Lagman said, citing how it had disenfranchised voters such as the people with disabilities. In the last two PCOS-based elections, overcrowded clustered precincts reportedly disenfranchised voters who waited a long time in queues. He added that PCOS also doesn’t have VVPAT (voter verified paper audit trail), which is stated in the automated elections law. … If government is receptive Benjie Valbuena, national chairperson of Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT), chided the Comelec for
