Dumaguete City | Hackers Cancels the Year 2022 Elections

Hackers cancel the Year 2022 Philippines Elections

That would be one hell of a headline. Someone is implying that if his brother loses again in the election, then he is cheated.

If we examine deeply, this train of thought has other meanings.

First, it can mean that President Duterte cheated on the Year 2016 elections and won the presidency. It would be unfair to say that the cheating was only done in the Vice-presidency and other positions because this lacks absolute sense. If a genius wants to rig the elections on a massive scale, why target the vice-presidency?

If you believe that the Year 2016 election was rigged, then you are good as saying that President Duterte won through cheating. Which is very unlikely!

Second, this could also devalue the efforts being made by President Duterte in the coming election. The president has given his commitment that this year’s election would be a clean one. And a clean election is something he should ensure because his daughter is running for the second-highest political seat in the country. 

Final Thoughts!

In my personal opinion, it would be very unlikely that there will be cheating or rigging of the Year 2022 elections. The political party who is barking loudly on this issue has felt the threat that even with their lead on the surveys, their probability of losing is high.

System Loss Charges | Is it Real, Or a Pathetic Excuse to Make Money?

Image
What is System Loss Charge of your Electric Bill? Recently, a friend posted a question on Facebook asking why she has “System Loss” charges in her electric bill. And I responded and explained to her why we are slapped with these charges from our Electricity Distribution Utility. And in this article, I’ll share why there is a “system loss” charge in our electricity bill.  And to be clear, the article only talks about electricity in the Philippines. So what is the System Loss charge? There are two major components of the power system that produce system loss. First is the transmission line, and second the transformer. When electricity passes through a transmission line, it creates the loss referred to as copper loss. And when electricity also passes through the conductor of a transformer core, it creates what we call core loss.  So, the two system losses are core and copper loss. And from the term itself, these two are wasted power, or power that was produced but not consumed or sold by

The Simala Church - The Castle Near the Heavens

  The Simala Church - The Castle Near the Heavens The Simala Church It was close to 8-years ago since I last visited the Simala Church. I was happy that I was able to make the trip to Simala this week, and I was surprised to see a lot of changes. The church made huge renovations and I can notice more vendors now compared to before. The traditional sellers of bracelets, rosaries, and miracle water are still there. While the younger generation of vendors are selling tourist souvenir items. For those who are not familiar, Simala Church is a church in Sibonga, owned and operated by the Marian Monks of Eucharistic Adoration (MMEA), and its main patron saint is Mama Mary. It is famous among Catholics because of the countless miracles it offered, and the letter testimonies of these encounters are exhibited inside its halls. But, over the years, the visit to the Simala Shrine has not been exclusive to religious intents and is more like tourism. And in my recent visit, I have two observations t
