How many of us would bother to analyze this kind of scenario? Many are apathetic about what is happening in our society. We simply don’t PAY ATTENTION.

Poverty, corruption is becoming a culture in our country, yet, it’s as if we don’t see anything. Can we really afford to watch it happen everyday and do nothing? Its better if we do something. We must take part in solving such problems because it concerns ALL OF US.

Let us challenge ourselves and influence others to be part and create an IMPACT. Let us work together and think of SOLUTIONS to answer the problems that our society is currently having. For if we won’t, who will? And if not now, when?

Diving into Citizen Journalism

Political Blog? A political blog is a common type of blog that comments on politics. In liberal

democracies the right to criticize the government without interference is considered an important element of free speech.

In other jurisdictions bloggers use the uncensored nature of the internet to bypass state controlled news media but as a result may find themselves persecuted.{ }

-wikipedia

The Mar Roxas for President in 2010 Blog was created and launched last JULY 29, 2007 by kevin ray Chua.

“For me, it was a result of the people’s desire for change from the Arroyo regime. Even though the 2007 Midterm Elections just ended then, the 2010 campaign was already on the air.” - KRChua

A Tool for governance

• The Philippine Official Gazette is the official journal and publication of the Philippine government inacted on September 10, 1902 and under Pnoy, the Online version was launched last July 2010; this also includes other online engagements such as twitter or the like.

• A history in Technology for the Philippines, in 2010 the 1st automated Philippine Elections was successfully held with the use of the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) voting machine.

• Mid-2012, Project NOAH was launched (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards) by DOST. This will harness technologies and management services for disaster risk reduction through enabling existing interventions available to the public such as: Data on Hazard Maps/areas, water level monitoring, or the like solutions against storms, earthquake, landslides..etc..
