PHOTO CREDIT: INQUIRER</td></tr></tbody></table>Depending on the host city/country, Filipinos can vote in two ways according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).<br /><br />Through personal voting, a voter must go to the designated Philippine foreign service post to vote. At the the designated post, a Special Board of Elections Inspector will check the identity of the registered voter by biometrics. After verification, the voter can get his or her ballot and a ballot secrecy folder and proceed to the voting area to accomplish the ballot.<br /><br />In Philippine foreign service posts with automated election system, voters may feed his or her ballot to the vote-counting machine (VCM). On the other hand, posts using a manual election system are required to fold their ballot in the same way as they received it and put it inside the ballot box.<br /><br />In host countries/cities using postal manual election system, registered voters will either receive mail containing their ballot or pick up their ballot at a designated area. The voter shall accomplish his or her ballot and put his or her thumbmark in the space allotted on the ballot’s lower portion. The ballot coupon must be detached from the ballot and placed inside the ballot envelope. This should be sealed with a paper seal. <br /><br />The accomplished ballots should be properly folded to avoid damage and mailed to the Philippine foreign service post concerned.<br /><br /><b>Here’s a list of the  Philippine foreign service post around the world in support for Election 2016.</b><br /><br />Philippine foreign posts that will use an automated election system:<br /><br />AMERICA<br /><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Agana, Guam</li><li>Chicago, USA</li><li>Honolulu.

Duterte presidency: How far is it now from reality?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">In 2004, former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo won against the late action star Fernando Poe Jr. for the seat in the Malacañan with just a margin of merely one million votes. Fast forward 2016, FPJ’s daughter, Senator Grace Poe is now on top of the game after unseating the long-time frontrunner in the surveys who is Vice President Jejomar Binay. But this doesn’t call for a celebration, as Poe is not alone at the top. Alongside him is Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, the two-decade ruler of Davao City, who is tagged as the dark horse of this year’s presidential race.<br /><br /><b>"<i>Kabahan na kayo</i>," One Cebu promises 1-million votes for Duterte</b><br /> <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwRpQRhD_3dKeZds3q7OzrnOEF-1BEhRD_nq4qMV-QYc4HVHFkaqdplr3KpqTvGhUTs4kKdBo94a5CDTBREzCMMjgS7kTK-vi9EUGCLE3CJULlnWQyfxx63bTl6zvgvhRXK3mYBRjAMQ6/s1600/duterte_EDITORIAL.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwRpQRhD_3dKeZds3q7OzrnOEF-1BEhRD_nq4qMV-QYc4HVHFkaqdplr3KpqTvGhUTs4kKdBo94a5CDTBREzCMMjgS7kTK-vi9EUGCLE3CJULlnWQyfxx63bTl6zvgvhRXK3mYBRjAMQ6/s640/duterte_EDITORIAL.jpg" width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Photo credit: Sunstar news online</td></tr></tbody></table>This was uttered by a jubilant Duterte after learning that the Garcia’s One Cebu party placed him as their bet upon dumping Vice President Binay. Who couldn't be happier indeed? After all, Cebu is the richest vote province in the country that can give any candidate a huge advantage in this very tight road to replace Aquino.<br /><br />With an approximate number of 2.7 million registered voters, the Garcias, one of Cebu’s influential political clan is very much able to play a vital role in discerning on who will be the 16th ruler of the Philippines. <br /><br />The endorsement of the Garcias to Duterte is a big blow to Binay and Roxas. The endless accusations of graft and corrupt practices against the vice president and his family pulled Binay’s position down in the recent surveys as he now ranks either from the 2nd and 3rd spots. Roxas’ campaign on the other hand will become more fragile after failing to secure Cebu’s support.<br /><br />With Duterte almost securing a million vote from Cebu, Roxas’ presidential ambition may be in grave peril as his campaign has the Visayas region as its core. Although still the top player, it cannot be deny by the camp of Poe that the Garcias support for Duterte will spell a difference on the upcoming surveys being the presidential frontrunner prior to Election Day.<br /><br /><b>Duterte shares the limelight with Poe on Laylo survey</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FwuBFdCz8JppmRg5DhVy-Js2hMN-9HugXV7USOpLBn-FXGHI_TuSYSkPiTEg1Xx5oyNzQjNkyFapEIFbwHgU-skMF05lrPpOqxeXYHolRcRpr1RTxtbw_BOChJGna8Xy_q3C46EXEtII/s1600/elections-2016-banner.png" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Elections 2016 candidates" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FwuBFdCz8JppmRg5DhVy-Js2hMN-9HugXV7USOpLBn-FXGHI_TuSYSkPiTEg1Xx5oyNzQjNkyFapEIFbwHgU-skMF05lrPpOqxeXYHolRcRpr1RTxtbw_BOChJGna8Xy_q3C46EXEtII/s400/elections-2016-banner.png" title="Elections 2016 candidates" width="400" /></a></div><br />Statistically tying for the top spot, Duterte received an overwhelming 30 percent share in the recent survey conducted by the Laylo Research Strategies. Following him is Poe with 27 percent.<br /><br />Roxas, Binay and Santiago only obtained 21%, 18% and 2% in the survey which has a plus or minus 1.8% margin of error.<br /><br />Although Poe’s camp remained confident that she will ultimately bag the presidency, the result of this latest poll should be an issue of concern. The survey was done from March 26 to April 1, just a few days after the second round of the presidential debates in which Duterte proved to be a crowd-stunner with his antics and answers on various issues.<br /><br />Now that Duterte is exemplifying himself as a true alternative to replace Aquino’s Daang Matuwid governance, the possibility of his camp to receive swing votes next month aside from acquiring new entrants to support his campaign now is becoming more than possible.<br /><br /><b>MBC-DZRH survey names Duterte as top choice</b><br /><br />Aside from his striking rise in the Laylo survey, Duterte scored another victory from the public after emerging as the preferred choice of the public in the latest survey commissioned by the Manila Broadcasting Corporation and its radio broadcast arm DZRH.<br /><br />With a larger base of 7,490 respondents nationwide (the Laylo has 3,000), Duterte won by registering 36% preferential points against Poe (28.2%), Binay (15.3%), Roxas (15.2%) and Santiago (3.5%).<br /><br /><b>The components of a Duterte presidency</b><br /><br />From Binay to Poe, now a sketchy vision of a Duterte presidency is materializing. Digong’s eminent rise to the game was not exponential as Poe, or meticulously planned as Binay but rather, it was an organic growth which was nurtured by the contagious spirit of his supporters from the grassroots sector clamoring for real change and those from the middle income which have become more discerning than the previous seasons. Add to that is the experimental nature of some of the biggest names in the business sector who are interested to see on how a Duterte-style leadership will make the Philippine finally a roaring tiger economy.<br /><br />The final stretch of the campaign already opened as the nationwide campaign for the local positions has just begun. The machinery of LP and UNA of Roxas and Binay will surely pour out all their resources to catapult their bets on top.<br /><br />Poe will try to bank on the unfinished business of his father and keep the interest of the public to her by pointing out on how to solve the issues that the incumbent administration will be leaving behind to its successor.<br /><br />Santiago, as what she said in one of her campaign rallies during her 1992 run, will eventually try to prevail or perish on her most likely final attempt to clinch the presidency with her millions of social media soldiers.<br /><br />But Duterte’s strategy is different, he may not have Binay and Roxas’ machinery, he only spent a hundred million pesos as of this moment for his campaign, nor he came from a celebrated line of popular stars but his colloquial way of expressing his opinion and flamboyant demeanor whenever he presents his self to public, the way he adds his own touch in addressing public issues and his ability to dismantle any forms of mudslinging against him made him more reachable to public. <br /><br />And when they see him embodying their aspirations, the more he becomes real to them and the more they put their trust on him, regardless of how he will deal with the snatchers of Recto or how he will punish the thieves in our convoluted bureaucratic system. <b>- Michael Santiago, The Summit Express</b></div>

On Tuesday, April 5, 2016, a viral video taken by a local mall CCTV showing a preschooler, left unattended by his parents,  had a very terrifying and heart-stopping escalator accident.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjugpD3O9g-_RzgveS4AZCH8pIkpQi7w2PWZTHtee4ABN8TjLxWaeRRcV_DwGS3U_PP4TU_XuBzyg5RxRzpaDJnS7HFkmWhP6K60WWe6VGkh6IBRU3vMc1U_WG21ztJMf3HK62LMXsi3zEw/s1600/preschooler-gets-dragged-down-by-an-escalator.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Preschooler accidentally gets dragged down by an escalator" border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjugpD3O9g-_RzgveS4AZCH8pIkpQi7w2PWZTHtee4ABN8TjLxWaeRRcV_DwGS3U_PP4TU_XuBzyg5RxRzpaDJnS7HFkmWhP6K60WWe6VGkh6IBRU3vMc1U_WG21ztJMf3HK62LMXsi3zEw/s640/preschooler-gets-dragged-down-by-an-escalator.jpg" title="Preschooler accidentally gets dragged down by an escalator" width="560" /></a></div><br />The 51-seconder video displays a wide-bodied man, who’s probably the father of the victim was busy minding something in a department store and left his son all alone. The boy, who was obviously not interested in his dad’s business, was fascinated by the fast-moving rubber handrails of the escalator. Amazed by it, the kid had decided to play, placed his left and right hands on the handrail, pulled it back and forth. But lo and behold, the poor boy lost his hand control and was completely overpowered by the force of the escalator. He quickly got dragged down with his whole body on top of the rubber railing. <br /><br /><center><div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) {  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-video" data-allowfullscreen="1" data-href="/TambayanniBERTOII/videos/vb.536306116545234/578153069027205/?type=3"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/TambayanniBERTOII/videos/578153069027205/"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TambayanniBERTOII/videos/578153069027205/" rel="nofollow"></a><br />BABALA po ito sa lahat ng magulang na may kasamang bata kapag nasa mall kayo, hawakan at bantayan nyo po ang inyong mga anak na bata at iwasang mag-isa sa escalator upang hindi matulad dito.. paki share na lang po..<br />Posted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TambayanniBERTOII/" rel="nofollow">Tambayan ni BERTO</a> on Monday, April 4, 2016</blockquote></div></div></center><br />Angels are everywhere.<br /><br />While the boy was on his way down and in danger of falling hard to the concrete and tiled lower floor, the security guard on duty, out of nowhere rushed to the boy’s rescue followed by the father all the way to the lower ground. At the end of the video, it looks like the boy was safely recovered as the people around them who hurried towards them in order to see the accident went back where they were.<br /><br />Majority of the netizens who had seen the video, put the blame on the boy’s parents because obviously it’s not a machine error but merely a human error. As guardians, we are always responsible for our children’s safety whether at home or in public places. Yes, there will be security personnel in business establishments and at parks, but leaving our kids all by themselves is really a no-brainer. They’re young, they’re curious almost about anything and we must always anticipate the perils that might come along the way anywhere and anytime. It is not only killer and terrifying escalators that we should be worried about, let us also put in our minds the lawless criminals targeting children for their personal gains.<br /><br />This is not the only incident that a kid got involved in an escalator fiasco. We’ve seen this over and over again, perhaps, hundreds of times online. We should have learned our lessons already. Always keep an eye on our little ones is the best way to prevent misfortunes for we really can’t predict what will happen if we blink our eyes. It really pays to lock sight on our children. It will surely keep them from any harm.<br /><br />Should mishaps like this happen, always get the attention of the crowd especially the marshalls for help. In case that the child is severely injured, ask the establishment staff to call their in-house medics for first aid and further medical assistance. <br /><br />Just an amicable reminder from The Summit Express. <b>- Joey Boy Capos</b></div>

Caitie’s wedding-inspired service complete with stormtroopers, confetti, pink balloons and colorful decorations was her parents Jayjay and Feliz’s way of turning over their daughter to Jesus in marriage. <br /><br />The memorial service led by Christ’s Commission Fellowship Pastor Roy Felipe started at 3pm, while the cremation process happened at  4:00pm at the Arlington Memorial Hall in Quezon City. The “wedding reception” was held at 7:30 pm.<br /><br />In one of the posts in the Facebook page Courageous Caitie, it was written:<br /><br />“We didn’t wait till she was a teenager for our mom and daughter or father and daughter dates. Didn’t wait till she was old enough to attend dance classes etc. We didn’t wait for a wedding to have her ‘dirty dancing’ lift (in a) father-daughter dance. We didn’t wait when she was old enough to travel the world. Thank you Lord for the grace that in 3 years we lived what was like 30 years. Her body was 3 but her soul lived like it was 30 years old in experience, in wisdom and beauty. I love you my daughter… Today we celebrate as we turn you over in marriage.”<br /><br />The little warrior’s ordeal with the rare form of leukemia started after her parents noticed rashes which turned into bruises in December last year. Initially, Caitie was misdiagnosed with tuberculosis last January and underwent a series of medication for it. Unfortunately, her conditioned only worsened.<br /><br />On February, her family brought her to a reputable hospital in Singapore where she was diagnosed with JML. After a three-month battle, <a href="http://pinoybuzz.blogkorner.com/2016/03/courageous-caitie-girl-with-rare-disease-passes-away.html" rel="nofollow">Courageous Caitie succumbed to her disease</a> on Thursday, March 31.<br /><br />Her happy disposition and unbelievable display of courage despite her difficult and painful situation has attracted thousands of followers and donors on her Facebook page. With over 300,000 likes as of this writing, Caitie’s short but well-lived life has truly inspired thousands of netizens. <br /><br />Watch the equally heartwarming and heartwrenching farewell video of Courageous Caitie. <br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WOoBJJdA-FA" width="560"></iframe></center><br /><b>-Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>

That number matters a lot for every presidential down to senatorial candidates.

Meralco has meanwhile denied a power outage.<br /><br />Santiago, for her part, said that the NAIA must have uninterrupted power supply. "Assuming for the sake of argument that the Meralco line tripped, where were the generators? The explanation that they were not working is unacceptable," she added.<br /><br />The infrastructure agenda Santiago posted on her website includes the development of a modern international airport. The NAIA runway design, she said, is one of the main factors for congestion.<br /><br />"The runways are perpendicular to each other, barring planes from using one runway when the other is in use. If NAIA will be expanded, we must build runways parallel to each other," the senator said.<br /><br />"In the meantime, it would be wise to reallocate some flights to the airport in Clark, which is currently underutilized. Clark Airport should complement and not necessarily replace NAIA," she added.</div>

If the courier remains mum on this issue, their clients will keep on wondering and might look for other courier companies to serve them in order to protect their valuables and money.<br /><br />There’s no such thing as easy money. Every thing “is” and “must” be hard-earned. So let’s be wise and vigilant.

Nang-i-insulto ba kayo o namumulitiko kayo?”<br /><br />(You’ll suddenly arrive to give rice. Is that an insult or are you politicking?)<br /><br />Mendoza also cautioned politicians not to use North Cotabato as their staging ground for propaganda in order to get support from the international community and collect money.<br /><br />Watch the video.<br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LsYeSi847Fg" width="560"></iframe></center><br />According to reports, Mendoza was pertaining to the camp of presidential aspirant and Davao City Mayor Rodrigo “Digong” Duterte who have gathered 30 sacks of rice for the hungry farmers of Kidapawan City. <br /><br />However, Duterte Presidential Campaign Team head Peter Laviña clarified that Duterte advised them not to meddle with the ongoing problem in Cotabato. He also alleged Mendoza of not performing her duties. <br /><br />"We do not have intentions to interfere with the trouble there but there is a problem, people are getting harassed so we have to help,” Laviña said.<br /><br />About 5,000 farmers coming from different parts of North Cotabato province held a protest  on Wednesday, March 30 to demand government assistance after their farms were hit by the El Niño. Portions of the Cotabato-Davao Highway were blocked during the protest.<br /><br />But instead of getting calamity fund and rice provision, the protest turned into a violent dispersal between policemen and the farmers. The clash resulted into the death of three protesters while 116 others were injured. A farmer reportedly died on the spot during the encounter.<br /><br />According to Apo Sandawa Lumadnong Panaghiusa sa Cotabato leader Norma Capuyan, the police, who were trying to protect the National Food Authority provincial office from the protesters, were trying to disperse them using water cannons. However, when the farmers stood their ground, the police began firing.<br /><br />In an interview with ANC, Mendoza insisted that the police officers had exercised maximum tolerance during the protests.<br /><br />Meanwhile, actor and known Duterte supporter Robin Padilla donated 200 sacks of rice to the farmers. Expressing his disgust over the incident, wrote on the caption of his Instagram post: "Ang mga magsasaka ng Inangbayan Pilipinas pinagbabaril sa kanilang mapayapang paghingi ng tulong sa kanilang gobyerno.”<br /><br />(The farmers of our motherland Philippines were shot during their peaceful protest to the government.) <b>-Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
