I would like to congratulate Sen. Aquino for his spectacular victory. I call upon this nation to unite and support him.

I would like to thank everyone who supported me especially my volunteers and those who gave up their limited resources as a manifestation of trust in my brand of leadership and track record.

I ran a very truthful, straightforward and candid campaign and thought we could run on the basis of our platform, track record and volunteerism.

I would like to congratulate all the winners and pray that they serve our country well.

We accept the will of the people.

Today, we have a victory for democracy with the successful exercise of our first nationwide automated election despite naysayers and doubters.

The fight for this country goes beyond this day. Let us forge on in building a Bagumbayan foe our people.

Philippines 2010 Elections: Krispy Kreme Wants You to DOugh YOUR PART

 

 

There’s always politicking in the Philippines whether it’s election period or not.  Campaigning went to full gear around 3rd quarter of last year.  When the campaign period officially started, streets became filled with campaign posters and TV programs have been loaded with political advertisements. 

 

It’s national elections and debates both on TV and in casual environments have skyrocketed on who to vote for, quite particularly in the seat of the next President. 

 

 

I think there are also other important things to consider this coming election.  For instance, it will be a first in the country for registered voters to use an automated voting system.

 

A mock election conducted by COMELEC showed that some voters did not know where and how to cast their ballots.  Efforts from various sectors like on-air commercials are being made to be able to educate the voters.  Krispy Kreme is doing its part to contribute as well. 

 

 

The well-loved family brand is out to their own campaign called “Vote 2010: Dough Your Part” and in doing so have devised their own way to help spread awareness.  They have created a mock ballot wherein voters will choose their winning doughnut and coffee.  “We wanted to make it a fun learning experience for the voters”, Mark Gamboa, Marketing Manager of Krispy Kreme said.  “This will help them prepare for the real, automated voting system.” He adds.

 

 

Given the insufficient knowledge of the voters regarding the new voting system, Krispy Kreme will give voters a chance to learn more about it. “So when the elections come, they wouldn’t be confused” Gamboa said. This awareness then leads to an organized and peaceful election.

 

 

Other than sharing the knowledge, the mock ballot Krispy Kreme has created will also encourage them to actually exercise their right to vote.  “Once they try the mock ballot, it will urge them to go out and vote.” Gamboa said. Since it is a new system and others may think it will be problematic, the Krispy Kreme campaign may help them think otherwise. For everyone to further maximize this advocacy, limited edition Krispy Kreme Vote 2010 doughnuts will be available on the said event and from May 8 to 10.

 

“With this, the spirit of this campaign can be made more visible.” he said. With this campaign, Krispy Kreme proves itself as more than a doughnut brand. They are also advocates of responsible citizenship. They have shown how doughnuts and coffee became a viable tool to educate Filipinos about the latest voting system.

Locate a Precinct! Tech Tanod’s Precinct Mapping Party

Last Saturday, I was at Krispy Kreme Jaka Branch to participate in Tech Tanod’s Precinct Mapping Party.  This was organized to help people find the exact locations of their voting precincts on the Google map.  This will be extremely helpful for first-time voters and since there were some changes to the old precinct locations and voting centers, it makes it easier to navigate and locate the exact voting site.

 

 

Google has provided an online tool to allow voters like yourself, to place the locations of each voting center on a map.  Your contribution helps others find their precinct voting center too!  It’s quite addicting to pin a precinct once you find it in the map.

Other people might find it geeky but I had so much fun!!!!  I found pleasure every time I located the precinct and it was quite addicting dropping one pin after the next. 

 

My first photo with the MAC

(thanks yogajane)

 

It was great to see the Pembo kids as well who we met during the blogging forum that Juned, Arpee and I participated in.

 

 

There are still a number of precincts out there to pin.  Try it out for yourself and contribute in tagging Philippine precincts.

 

 

Also, there is going to be SUNDAY SILENCE FOR CLEAN, SAFE & HONEST ELECTIONS this Sunday.

 

Date:       May 9, 2010

Time:     5:00pm – 7:00pm

Location:     Baywalk stretch across Malate Church, along Roxas Blvd., Manila

If you’re in town, participate and wear white.

Let’s pray for a clean, safe and honest elections on May 10, 2010.

 

Locate Your Precinct Number

 

I can’t wait to cast my vote in this upcoming national election.  I’m also excited for first time voters who got to register and will exercise their right to vote on May 10, 2010.

 

 

I wonder how the automated election will go.  I pray that whoever wins the presidency or the LGU seats, at the very least, it was really an honest election… with the right count and no tampering of the actual results.
