Next year will be 2010, an election will happen or ought to happen. But instead at the back of my head I purposely hope that it will push thru or that if it will push thru it will be a credible one.
You see I have a number of fears to deal with:
One of them is the capacity of Filipinos to be complacent and to vote for the ones with more money. Never mind the principles or how very well the candidate campaigned for the past few years (infomercials) or perhaps months. It all boils down to money.
Who is Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro? And why was he chosen over Bayani “BF” Fernando by the administration?
In asking this question we must consider three point of views:
1. The simple man (Mass or Masa)
2. The socially aware man. (Politicized)
3. The skeptic man (Me)
I wonder how MMDA chief Bayani “BF” Fernando feels about him not being chosen as the standard bearer of the administration. Come to think of it he sacrificed his time, money and reputation for the sake of being chosen by the government to run for the elections in 2010.
Turned out he was duped into thinking he could become something of an importance to the group which he so painstakingly try to rationalize into existence.

Outsourcing has evidently been the smart thing to do for American and European businesses even way before the onset of the global economic turmoil. At the turn of the century, customer service hotlines were directed to developing countries such as the Philippines and India. As a matter of fact, the strong demand for offshore call centers made Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) one of the leading industries in the Philippines today. As wages for professionals soar in an unstable economy, companies in the first world countries realized it would be highly beneficial for them to outsource other aspects of their businesses for obvious cost-effective reasons. In the recent years, web design, copywriting, content editing, search engine optimization and other professional services were sought from the Philippines.
For all I know Google adsense doesn’t affect ranking, unless your website is a Made for Adsense (MFA) site chances are if you have good content and good number of back links then you are on the safe side of Googles rankings.
But theres a downside in having Google Adsense:
1. Google Adsense have the tendency to steal your customers if you are affiliate marketer.
2. Google Adsense have the tendency to self regulate itself and mark you as spam even if you are really just as innocent as ever. (I’ve heard lots of fellow SEO Specialist who experienced this problem)
There’s a war going on.
It is a war of information while leveraging the power of the internet in giving that information as fast and reliable to each and everyone’s desktops.
And now this war has finally come at the doorsteps and the attention of running Presidential candidates in the Philippines.
It is no secret that the power of the internet played a dramatic role in the campaign of Senator Chiz Escudero following the number of contacts and traffic he got from his social networking sites (friendster, facebook, etc) not to mention the direct traffic from his website and the simple link that catapulted him in today’s youth.
