		<description>What is new? The comelec's official site lists the names and address in the P.I. of all overseas absentee voters. The page is called Comelec &lt;a href="http://www.comelec.gov.ph/oav/oav_certlist.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Certified List Absentee Voters&lt;/a&gt;.

Speaking of politicos sending out letters via snail mail to voters, Villar was or is the king. He did it twice (when he ran for Congress and then for the Senate seat.) While the first one was more obvious and coupled with a prize kuno if you answer the questions with an obvious answer (Manny Villar)the second one (for senate seat) was more of kumusta from your Congressman Manny Villar using post paid envelope of Congress with Congress letterhead.

I have no idea if he still does this letter because I moved out from muntinlupa-las pinas congressional district.

Siguro, baka lang, yon namang list of clients from his real estate development and housing businesses or probably not kasi marami ring customers na merong problem.</description>

		<description>Heheh. So it's a _lapse of judgment_ as they prefer to call it.

I used to handle sensitive material back when I was an economist at the NEDA. They're also public documents, but that didn't mean just anyone can access them. Lawsuits have been lodged because of those information. Careers have been ruined. People imprisoned, etc. Think Piatco/NAIA 3 and all those scandals.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately, Comelec has finally accepted the fault of the system (haha) and it's now on inquirer.net. That means it's not a fake afterall. They're just THAT oblivious. 

Earlier, a friend of mine got to talk to one of the developers of the site. I don't have the log right now but in the conversation, the developer went "The government has the right to display these files. They're public records because they're free for public access. 

I think he meant record of the public. So there.</description>

		<description>@Redkinoko, I made an active decision not to exercise my right to suffrage a long time ago. And comparing voting with education is really way off. Hence I don't think the out-of-school youth analogy is appropriate. Thanks for the update at your site though - http://redkinoko.blogspot.com/2007/03/make-rain-of-stupid-stop.html . It could have been a setup, indeed.

@Jhay, I guess only one of them. But it's good to include everyone else in the picture, right?

@Kates, amateurish, right.

@Arnold, thanks for the lead!

@Marian, I noticed files started disappearing a few minutes after I posted. The people</description>

		<description>What the hell man. Saying "Thank God I'm not a voter" because you were spared from this problem is like saying "Oh thank God I'm an out-of-school kid" after a bomb goes off at school. 

Being able to escape one problem brought by a responsibility you should have taken up doesn't clear you out from the fault of truancy in the first place.</description>
