I would like to comment about the shooting in Paranaque na pumatay sa mag ama. Anong klasing mga autoridad sa Pilipinas, kulang sa training? Anong tingin ng mga polis sa bata magnanakaw, hindi ba nila nakita kung sino ang sa loob ng sasakyan, bakit nirakrakan pa rin , kaya ako walang tiwala sa mga polis sa Pilipinas dahil sila mismo mga masamang tao. Sorry kung nakasabi ako ng ganito dahil galit ako sa mga polis, dahil sa nangyaring ganito. Hindi ko kaano ano yong namatay na cililian pero masakit para sa akin ang nagyari sa kanila. Nabasa ko sa news dito sa Norway ang nangyari sa Manila . Ito lang ang masasabi ko sa mga head ng mga polis please train your people , train them how to used their poor eyes and poor head dapat siguro ibalik sila sa mababang grado ibalik sila sa grade 1.
Yan lang ang masasabi ko dahil galit nga galit ako sa nangyari.
Thank you very much.

Re: WiMax
This is a very good development for a country like ours.
We in the municipality of Boljoon, Cebu already deployed a free WiFi service at our town plaza and the entire church and municipal complex and its great. and were planning to upgrade it into WiMax to inter connect all our 11 barangays.

Saudi OFW
On TELCO’s Missing Loads, etc.:
NTC, DTI & the Senate should also check the TELCOs on their various promos/gimmicks that could easily hoodwink the subscribers through very clever marketing schemes, sales words, and even outright cheating or scams.
I used to be a Globe OFW subscriber here in Saudi Arabia with no. 0915-350-8171. I would like to relate my frustrating experience with Globe Telecoms during my vacation in Manila within March-April 2009.
On March 27th, I received an SMS (text message)from Globe’s #2846: “…May 20 FREE TEXTS ka! Mag-load lang ng at least P50 frm Mar 27 to Apr 02…” So I loaded P50 on same day, but no free texts came.
On March 30th, I reloaded another P50; again no free texts came. On April 2nd 9:55AM, I reloaded P100; again no free texts came.
After my repeated follow-ups with Globe’s Customer Service, I finally got my free texts on April 2nd 10:31PM with this SMS from GlobeReward: “Dahil nag-load ka ng P30 mula Mar 27, eto na ang 10 FREE TEXTS mo!” Ayun, ang cheating or scam ng Globe!
The promo was 20 free texts for at least P50 load from March 27th to April 2nd. I have loaded a total of P200 during such period, and I deserve to get at least 20 free texts.
On April 3rd, Globe’s #2846 has the nerve to send me another SMS: “…May 20 FREE TEXTS ka! Mag-load lang ng at least P50 frm Apr 03 to Apr 09…” On April 4th, I loaded P100, but no free texts came.
During such time, I was nearing the end of my vacation, and free texts would have been very useful. Within almost whole day of April 4th until my flight back to KSA on April 5th, Globe’s Customer Service’s phone was dead. Also, Globe’s #2884 repeatedly responded to my “GROAM ON” request: “Sorry, your request cannot be processed at this time…”
I felt that Globe may have black-listed my number due to my repeated follow-ups. Now I’m back here abroad, and my Globe number is not connected. I may have lost around P150 worth of load.
Small amount for one subscriber like me. But if this is happening to millions of the TELCO’s subscribers, then it is huge scam.
(Note: I have saved on my phone all the above text messages, in case anybody wants proofs.
