From: Elvira Marfori <epmarfori@gmail. com> FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE DO NOT EAT SUMAN BEFORE VOTING MALAGKIT IYON
For those voting on May 10, the info below will be very useful. Please pass.
>
>Just want to share with you some things I learned about the ballot for the coming automated elections. I hope the information below will help voters out there. I think that since this is the first automated elections the country is having, it’s going to take some adjustment and adaptation on the part of voters, and extra knowledge/informati on is sure to help anyone heading to the polls on May 10, 2010.
>
>I attended my barangay’s seminar on the 2010 elections last Sunday, arranged by the captain, Ralph Diaz. I learned a few things from Mr. Diaz about the election ballot that could be informative for all of us:
>
>>1. Mr. Diaz said that the ballot is very, very sensitive to marks, ink, H20, stains, scratches, folds, sweat, etc. If, say, you have grime on your hands, or your hands are wet, or your sweat drips onto the ballot, the PCOS (Precinct Count Optical Scan) Unit will not read it. So, keep your hands very clean before voting. That is why the indelible ink will be put on your finger after you’re done voting, and not before, and why you will be given your ballot in a folder, a “Ballot Secrecy Folder”, so that you can lessen the actual handling of the ballot with your hands.
>
>2. Shade the egg-shaped hole beside your chosen candidate fully (you will be provided with a marker). Don’t check, line, X, dot, or half-shade it, because the PCOS Unit will not read it. Try not to go beyond the lines also (well, not too much).
>
>3. Mr. Diaz said that there will be a barcode going around the ballot. If this is marked, even scratched, in any way, the ballot will be spoiled. He said that if anyone else handles the ballot, watch them well, in case they intentionally scratch the barcode with a fingernail to prevent your ballot from being counted. He used as an example that if you’re obviously for a candidate that, say, an unscrupulous precinct official is against (hopefully, there’s no such thing as an unscrupulous precinct official ;-P), that official may scratch your barcode to prevent your vote from being counted.
>
>4. You will have four tries to put your ballot through the PCOS Unit. You can put it in forward, backward, front side up, back side up, whichever, but only four tries. If after the 4th try it doesn’t read properly, goodbye ballot.
>
>5. You will get one chance to have your ballot changed if you don’t like it. That’s when they first hand it to you. Inspect it right away. If you see any folds, scratches, or marks, you can ask for a change (which may lengthen your voting process, Mr. Diaz added).
>
>6. Bring a list of your chosen candidates on a piece of paper so that you won’t spend too much time filling out the ballot. If you make your decisions on the day itself without a list, you could spend a long time filling it up.
>
>7. Watch the readout on the PCOS Unit when you insert your ballot into it. Mr. Diaz said that if successful, it’ll read, “Congratulations! Your ballot has been scanned.” If not, it’ll say why (improper shading, etc.) Get that “Congratulations” message before leaving to make sure your vote is counted.
>
>8. Bring an ID (Voter’s ID is best, but if you don’t have one, driver’s license, passport, etc. any valid ID with your address and preferably a photo is all right) to present to the BEI (Board of Elections Inspector). If you can find out beforehand through your barangay, also get your Voter’s ID number, precinct number, and your sequence number (the number beside your name in the voter’s list). This’ll speed up your voting process.
>
>9. The ballot you are given will only be readable by one specific PCOS Unit. In other words, only one machine will be able to read your ballot, because it’s pre-registered there, so when you’re ready, line up at the proper machine. Don’t line up at the wrong machine; your ballot won’t be read, and it may spoil your vote.
>
>10. Polls open on May 10, 2010, at 7 a.m. and end at 6 p.m.
>
>11. Mr. Diaz said that the Comelec told him that with the PCOS Units, we will know the winner of the elections in 5 days. Otherwise, the PCOS Units will allow for a manual count since all votes will be recorded inside the machines (let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, because it’s going to take the usual weeks and weeks to finish the count).
>
>12. The PCOS Units have internal batteries that can last 16 hours in case of power outages. Since the voting period only lasts 10 hours, there’s a 6 hour buffer. But still, let’s hope for no brownouts on May 10, 2010.
>
>13. The PCOS Unit will print out the vote count in what looks like a very long cash register receipt (whose print will last for 5 years, he said), which will be put into a sealed box that’ll be sent to the Comelec for proper counting. Also, the PCOS Unit will count the number of voters who are voting based on the ballots inserted into it, so again, watch the screen on the machine to make sure of voter count, as well as other important messages.
>
>14. Mr. Diaz said that you should vote only the exact number you should vote for. So, vote for only 1 president, 1 vice president, 12 senators, 1 party list, 1 mayor, 1 vice mayor, 1 member of the House of Representatives, etc. (the limit will be there on your ballot as a “Vote for not more than ____”). If you vote for more than the stipulated number, that particular portion of the ballot is spoiled. You may, however, vote for less (as in, if you can’t find 12 worthy senatoriables to vote for, it’s all right to vote for less than 12).
>
>15. Mr. Diaz stressed repeatedly that in voting this time, one should not make mistakes. It’s asking a lot from us, but he said that over and over again. His words: “Don’t make mistakes, otherwise, you’ll spoil your ballot”.
>
>16. Of course you’ll also be asked to do the usual signing of forms and marking of thumbprints.
>
>Feel free to share this email. I wish I could take questions, but I only took notes as Mr. Diaz was speaking, so I doubt if I will know the answers. Any questions you have can be sent to your Barangay Captains, or to the Comelec.
>
>I hope this information helps!

What is disturbing about the RH bill is that it requires funding. And of
course, the funding will come from you and me… 
Sections 11, 15, 23 indicate the mandatory expenses and funding for every
congressional district, in the form of additional pork barrel, to carry out
the RH measures, including and not limited to the condoms the people want to
use…(In other words, the state will use taxpayers money to fund the
condoms and contraceptives it distributes to the people so the people could
make love all they want without worrying at all…)
And if this is not yet enough, the expenses for post-mortem support for
“victims” of abortion would also come from you and me…
Section 3, Article A: “In the promotion of reproductive health, there should
be no bias for either modern or natural methods of family planning”
Well, to put it in Tagalog…one of the components of “modern methods of
family planning” is abortion. Eto po ang language na ginagamit ng UN na
kinopya lang nina Lagman. Eto rin ang ginagamit na wording ni Hillary
Clinton and when she again said a few days ago that abortion is a natural
human right…what a b**ch!
RH-BILL, Section 3, Article L: “Respect for, protection and fulfillment of
reproductive health rights seek to promote not only the rights and welfare
of adult individuals and couples but those of adolescents’ and children’s as
well”
Very nicely worded!!! Yung ibig pong sabihin ng “reproductive health rights
[] of adolescents and children” ay ang right ng isang teenager na
protektahan kapag nag-commit siya ng abortion. Eto nanaman po ang language
ng UN nung pinressure nila ang mga bansa sa Africa to allow abortion…

Are you aware that men and womens brain are different. from the womb we are all female until 16 weeks when the male hormones come in to make us men. a man thinks or feels. automatically. a woman always thinks and feels. mens brain is wired diferently from women. does a man care or show it. he may care but not show it . THE RIGHT LOBE OF THE BRAIN IS THE EMOTIONAL, THE LEFT LOBE IS THE THINKING PART. A woman supposedly with two lobes together , thinking and emotional because the two lobes are wired together. Most men are irritated and frustrated when a woman shows her emotional side. men does want to turn off the emotional side. Men must learn how to stop a women from getting upset. when you do not allow emotions to hold rein, you can
think clearly . Why do women think the man is detached from his emotional side? yes because a man can either think or be emotional , never together. male brain is an additing machine, while a female brain is a computer.
ask, should I tell him or tell your girlfriend ? will he receive the information well or not? How important is whaI have to say to the man? where is his attention? Did I let him know what I need? Do I need a solution, or I want him to listen? Am I giving him the bottomline? do not give too many details.. Is there a problem, or do you just want to talk? Am I speaking from my feelings?a MANS 2ND FAVORITE ORGAN IS HIS BRAIN.
THESE ARE MY NOTES FROM
CANTDATEWITHOUTIT.COM DR SHERRIE ZANDER AND KERI NEWEL GIVING A TELECLASS
So far I have at least an eight percent awareness. Surveys to be accurate should have at least 18 thousand respondents
not the 2 thousand who participate in the survey. Our country has so many cultural, academic , beliefs, aggrupations, organizations and interests that could not be possibly represented in those surveys. where are the survey participants located.
A survey participant told me that before she answers she wants to know for whose benefit is the survey and who asked for the survey. Several voters mentioned they need information and awareness on the alternative candidates otherwise they vote on memory or recall, and this explains the high rating of the re-electionists . We pray the voters will seek out the truth and information on the alternative candidates. where are you 12 million voters. In the Bandilla TV -hot seat segment last March 19, 2010, several
questions on the air from the viewers focused on lack of awareness of Adrian Sison , I do not know you and what makes you different from other candidates.
Kung sino man ang bumasa nito,pag-isipan ninyo, kailangan ni Adrian Sison na Senatorial candidate ang boto ninyo kung nais ninyo na matuwid na pamamalakad, at bagong legislation para sa COMMON GOOD as sa nakakarami. Panoorin ninyo si Adrian sison sa YOutube.com sa HOTSEAT ng Bandilla at iba pa. Happy Easter
