My Thoughts for the May 10 Elections

Posted by abie on 11:13 PM in ,
It is just 6 days before election and do you really think that COMELEC is ready? My sister is a watcher for one of the candidates and they conducted a testing of the PCOS machines yesterday and guess what, almost all the PCOS machines delivered to that school is not reading the votes right when they compared it to the manual count. Do you think they still have time to fix it before the elections on May 10?

I doubt it. To think that it is really not the real deal automation as what they eliminated with this system is just the manual counting of votes. I don’t think there is some real hard core programming involved here as from what I understand, PCOS machines are just used to read and tally the votes and it is not even working.

Will they declare a failure of election? So what will happen now? Honestly I am scared of what the outcome of the elections will be and I am really starting to loose hope for our country.

Good News - Bad News

Posted by abie on 9:08 AM in
I was watching the news last night and there was a report about a three year old girl who got reunited with his father after spending at least two weeks in the hospital. The mother and the girl had an accident and the mother was badly hit by the truck and that is why they were brought to the hospital. The mother died in the hospital and so the girl was left alone and the hospital staff took care of the girl while they were looking for the father.

Yesterday, the father was able to locate her daughter after weeks of searching. It is good news for the father but at the same time he was faced by the fact that his wife did not survive the accident and worse, I am not certain if the truck company will take responsibility for what happened.

If only they will get the help of personal injury attorney austin texas, then the bereaved family will be assured that they will get a settlement or help from the company responsible for the accident. Lawyers from O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath have extensive experience in these kinds of cases and they will even tailor fit their strategies base on the facts that they will be able to gather for the case. They will give the clients full control on how to decide with the case – whether to accept the settlement or go to court, while they give advise on how to best deal with the case.

Sinking of Superferry 9

Posted by abie on 12:00 AM in ,
Have you heard of the sinking of the Superferry 9 just recently? There are a casualties and a number have died because of the terrible accident. 29 of Star Cinema’s crew members were part of the passengers of the Super Ferry 9. Unfortunately, one of the crew, their cameraman, died from the accident (I wonder if they have key man insurance for him).

If I remember it correctly, it is a Super ferry ship that hade a ship accident also a couple of months back and now, another accident. What is worse is they are still selling tickets even if Marina already ordered suspension of their operation until their ships get inspected.

That is the reason why I will really prefer to fly than to travel via sea. The irony is we are a country that is made of thousands of islands and what should be our main mode of transportation is I think the number one cause of transportation tragedy.
