Yes! COMELEC has set up an online verification whether your COMELEC registration is still active or not… whether you can still vote (especially on the 2010 election) or not.

But it only works to those who are registered before June 17, 2009  because the data used by the COMELEC Online verification tool is based on the submissions of the COMELEC field election offices as of June 17, 2009.

This is what we can read as the DISCLAIMER of this COMELEC Online Verification facility or tool:

Data is based on the submissions of our field election offices as of June 17 2009. If you think your registration record should be active, and this SEARCH facility gives you a negative result, please verify with the local COMELEC office where you are registered.

Pending submission of data from certain cities/municipalities, data from the 2007 Barangay Elections are still being used for this Search facility.

How to verify online your COMELEC Registration?

Here’s how:

1. Log in to Precinct Finder tool by clicking here or by manually typing this address: http://www.comelec.gov.ph/findprecinct/findprecinct.aspx into your browser.
2. Then fill in the blank field as shown on the image below:
   
   On the “First Name” field, type your first name”… on the “Middle Name” field, type your middle name… and on the “Last Name” field, type your last name. Then choose the month, day and year of your birthday.
3. Make sure that the entries you filled on the form are correct. Then click the “FIND NOW”.
4. After that, the result will be posted just like what you’ve seen on the image below. This image is the screenshot of the result when I tried to verify my own COMELEC Registration
   
   Now, if you’re COMELEC registration status is already inactive, the “Precinct Finder” tool will tell you this message: “Your registration details cannot be found in the COMELEC database. Please make sure that you have entered the correct details.” This is the message that I received when I tried to search my wife’s registration information. My wife is actually registered before but she failed to participate the voting on previous elections. She already had registered again but not before June 17, 2009, just this month.

If you found out that your COMELEC Registration is already inactive (which means you can’t vote for the 2010 election), then just visit the COMELEC offices near you. You still have time to re-register. The COMELEC Registration is open up to October 31, 2009 (even during Saturdays and Sundays).

I know, if my son, Carl Justine, can talk he’ll greet me “Happy Fathers’ Day”. So, Happy Father’s Day to me!

The Ako Mismo slogan tells us: “Ano ang gagawin mo para sa kinabukasan ng bayang ito? Ako Mismo ang kikilos para sa bayan ko”

Just like what other bloggers thought about the Ako Mismo, I think it’s a campaign that urges every Filipino to do by themselves the things that will help raise our nation again. The Ako Mismo has this message: “Simulan mo ang pagkilos sa muling pagbangon ng Pilipinas. Maliit man o malaki, ikaw mismo ang magsasabi kung ano ang gagawin mo.”

This afternoon, I registered at the Ako Mismo website. They collected my personal information including my cellphone number which at first made me confused whether I would continue the registration or not. I was wondering why should they need to collect personal information including my phone number, and how secure is their site?

After that, I checked the Wall of Commitments (click here) where you will find the commitments made by those who registered with the Ako Mismo. As of writing this post, there are 186,193 commitments posted already. Most of the commitments posted are serious ones like:

• Ako mismo tutulong paghubog sa sa mga darating na henerasyon
• Ako mismo tutulongan ang bayan
• Ako mimso magmahal sa kapatid nating muslim

But I wonder how sincere are the members of the Ako Mismo campaigns. I even noticed a funny commitment that says: “Ako Mismo Hindi ikaw ok!”

I hope that the Ako Mismo campaign will stand in a way we look at it now.

Perverts are feasting on the scandalous materials. Sellers of these scandalous videos are earning much money from the DVD version of it. Bloggers are earning online income from perverts who are looking for these materials online. And I wish, I can earn money too even without promoting the materials but by simply talking about it here.

But where can you download the Katrina Halili Video Scandal?

The Hayden Kho video scandals have reached the Philippine Senate already. In fact, Senator Bong Revilla Jr talked about it during his speech in the senate. And according to him, he already watched the different versions of the sex scandals that Hayden Kho created. So, if you want to get free copy of the Katrina Halili – Hayden Kho video scandal and other Hayden Kho Sex Video Scandals, just visit the Senate and ask the good Senator about it.

And one more reminder, the congress is passing a bill against the creation and promotion of the scandalous materials.

Could you please send us the video at our email?

I’m sorry but I don’t have any sex video here.

If I am you, I will visit the NBI or the Senate and ask them some copy because they have the complete copies of the Hayden Kho sex videos. The OMB have them too, so go ask Chairman Edu Manzano.

I received a lot of request telling me to send them the Ruffa Mae Quinto and Hayden Kho sex video which I don’t have.

To let you know, I have lots of articles related to sex scandals but I don’t have scandalous materials here. I don’t even promote them here.

If you found Pinay Scandal articles on this blog, they are not to promote the scandalous materials but to outrank from the SERP those real websites that are selling or making money from these kind of materials.

Maybe, you can just read the posts below:

1. Katrina Halili Sex Video Scandal

Bendzg is my Kababayan here in Maasin City. I wrote this article not to hurt him but just to share my thoughts on what he said at his blog.

Bendzg believed that Ted Failon is guilty of killing his wife Trina Etong and is also guilty of obstruction of justice. And not only that, he even accused the media in protecting the broadcaster, Ted Failon.

Covering up murder may be a daunting task but not when you have the media behind your back. Media has the ability to control people’s mind. They can just put a spin on things knowing that they already captured the people’s trust. They can turn stories around just by highlighting some parts of the story and making the culprit—Ted Failon himself, look like a victim of the government’s vendetta against a long-time critic.

It might be true that the “media has the ability to control people’s mind” through their presentation of the news. But I don’t think that the media will stand on the side of the criminal and protect him from the law. If we noticed that the media seems biased to the side of Ted, then that only means that they believed that Ted did not kill Trina.

The formula is really simple: repeat the lie over and over again and it will eventually sound more sensible than the truth itself. Roundup the friends who would testify that Ted Failon’s wife is suicidal; show a picture of a grieving family who mourns for their sibling’s “suicide attempt”;

I once heard a saying that “a lie told a thousand times became the truth“. I think, it’s the German’s Hitler who said this.

That saying might be true. But I don’t think that presenting the testimony of Trina’s friends and siblings to back up Ted’s claim that what happened to Trina was suicidal is just a way twisting the lie to make it the truth.

Let’s not forget that they are friends (not just friends but best friends) of Trina, and that Pamela is the younger sister of her. If Trina was killed by Ted, I wonder why the siblings and friends of Trina, including the daughter of Trina and Ted defended Ted?

highlight the police arrests and deem it inhuman then roundup the highly idealistic people manning the Commission on Human Rights; show the gullible daughter crying in front of national TV asking for prayers for a mother attempting suicide; and, lastly use the political angle making the present administration itself the mastermind of Failon’s supposed harassment to make him an unpalatable candidate for senator on next year’s election. And, to top it off, bring in the text polls and call-in opinions of the masses.

I understand that the QCPD were just doing their job in giving justice to the death of Trina Etong. But they also made mistakes.

First, they speculated that the killing of Trina was done in the bedroom. Then Ted and the cohorts transferred the dying Trina into the bathroom. Secondly, they said that the body of Ted was full of scratches due to the fighting between Trina and him.

But these speculations of the QCPD remains speculations and was actually proven wrong.

And another thing is: They showed the media how they used force in arresting Ted’s household and Trina’s siblings.

So, if these things were highlighted by the media, then we couldn’t blame the media if they’re doing this. Actually, it’s the officers of the QCPD whose to blame on this. The chief of the QCPD was even caught by the camera how he mishandled the evidence on this case and he was even caught by the camera lying during the Press-Con in relation to the arresting of the younger sister of Trina, Pamela.

It’s funny how lots and lots of people on TV believes in Ted Failon’s bullshit. Do they miss the fact that no gunfire was heard, that the bathroom was cleaned as well as the gun and even the insides of the car which is believed to be the crime scene is squeaky clean.

Well, at first I really thought that Ted killed Trina. But what made my mind changed was the story of Pamela and the friends of Trina.

What about Ted’s Bullshit? I think, Ted has learned how to dispose properly his shit (tae). But I also wonder if Ted has a bull that scattered its shits at the street.

What about the gunfire? If there was no gunfire heard, does it mean that Trina was killed outside their house? Who knows? But I think, Pamela knows about it.

What about the crime scenes that were cleaned up by the maids and by the driver? For me, that’s the mistake made by the household of Ted. But if it was Ted who commanded them to clean those places to hide something from the authorities, then why did he bring Trina to the nearest hospital?

Forget the suicide note which looks likes the 12-year old daughter’s handwriting containing “po” which is an uncommon term of endearment. Come on, will you use “po” or “opo” in addressing a spouse? I can’t image how they sound in bed in that case. “Bilisan mo pa, po.” (Hmmm. I change my mind. I think it sound kinky.) What’s funnier is having a witness for one’s suicide note.

What’s wrong with the “po” and “opo” between spouse? My wife and I use “po” and “opo” when we send text messages to each other, when we write letters and notes, and when we’re using Tagalog language when talking. I am a Kamayo speaking one and my wife is a leyteña, but we’re using “po” and “opo”.

I don’t care whether Ted Failon be imprisoned or not—I already know he won’t cause of all the bigwig friends.

Well, I do believe that Ted will not be imprisoned for the parricide or murder because of the fact that the evidences the authorities got supported Ted’s claim that Trina committed suicide. But I guess, the Failon’s household will be found guilty of “obstruction of justice”. But who knows (in da aparador ),  it’s just my thought.

All I care about is the type of media we have in this country. If we have a media institution who would be willing to cover the truth up just because Ted Failon is a part of their own, and even willing to make government institutions casualties to their worthless crusades, how could you expect society to make the wise decisions?

I know that it’s not good for a media to be biased. But it’s far worst for a writer, a blogger or a media to judge Ted guilty just because the crime scenes were cleaned up.

If there are victims in this Ted Failon scandal, it’s not Ted Failon himself, it’s not his children or his family, it’s the Quezon City Police Department, the government institutions and the people Ted Failon and his company, ABS-CBN betrayed.

For me the real victims here are all of us. The QCPD officers are victim of their own abuse of authority or maybe it is right to call it “excessive use of force“. Ted, his household and his in-laws are victim of their ignorance of the law. The government and the people of the Philippines are victims of their own corruption.

Who really betrayed anybody? Is it Hugo De Medina? Is it Arcides? Are the characters of the “La Traicion”? I think the traitors are we… all of us. We betrayed Philippines in our own way of betrayal.

How did I get that Photo of CJ?

After our wedding on June 20, 2008, my wife and I monitored her (my wife) menstrual cycle by recording the days of her menstruation. With this, I could estimate when would be her fertile period.

Why? Well, the fertile days of woman is the best time to perform sex not just to make sure that my wife would get pregnant but for our enjoyment too. Didn’t I tell you already that during that period, progesterone exist. And the progesterone hormone is responsible to the increase of the sex drive of the woman. Consider reading my article, “Hormonal Imbalance“.

Now, when we noticed that she missed the scheduled menstruation that should be on the last week of August 2008, we immediately did a pregnancy test and found out that she’s pregnant.

So, on the first week of September 2008 we immediately visited an OB-Gyne. Using the Doctor’s Ultrasound device, it was confirmed that my wife was really pregnant.

Since then we visited the OB-Gyne for the regular pre-natal checkup every month. The doctor used her Ultrasound device to check the status of the fetus as part of the monitoring of the development of the fetus.

I wanted to take photos of the fetus through the Ultrasound device but I was hesitant to do it knowing that the price for an Ultrasound exam was PhP700.00.

This afternoon during the prenatal of my wife, I talked to the doctor if I could take photos of my son through her Ultrasound device. The doctor agreed and did not even ask for a fee. So, while the doctor was checking our son using her Ultrasound, I was there taking photos of what had been shown on the Ultrasound device monitor.

In other words, that photo posted above was taken on the monitor of the Ultrasound device used by the doctor.

Dear Sir Sel,

… I am hooked to your blog for several weeks already. You have published many interesting articles to read, except the articles about religion because they hurt me.

Sir, I know that you are not celebrating Valentine’s Day (link mine). This is what you have said in you article. But I know you are smart enough to answer my question. Please tell me your suggestion on the best unique valentines gift that I can give to my wife.

… Thank you.

I understand why our visitor asked me suggestion on what unique Valentine Gift for his wife. This is because almost all Valentine Gifts available in stores are very much expensive even if we are now experiencing financial crisis.

Before suggesting a unique Valentine Gift, here’s the list of the few of the things traditionally considered as gift for the Valentines Day:

1. Valentine’s Day Flowers
2. Valentine’s Day Chocolates
3. Valentine’s Day Jewelries
4. Valentine’s Day lingerie
5. Valentine’s Day Card or Post Card
6. Valentine’s Day Jar that contains daily messages or chocolates or candies, etc.
7. Valentine’s Day Pillow and Pillow Cases
8. Valentine’s Day dress
9. And for your wife, give her the very sweet, memorable, and exciting sex adventure.

But since you don’t have enough money to spend for those suggested above from number 1 to number 8, then here’s my suggestion. These can be considered unique in the sense that these are rarely used as gift during Valentine’s Day.

1. Buko for both of you.
2. Balot or Penoy for both of you
3. Fresh Tuba for both of you
4. Bingka, Budbud, Puto, etc.
5. Nilagang Mais
6. Tuyong Pusit
7. Ginamos Tugnos (Bagoong)
8. Binuro
9. Saging Lupak

My wife here is laughing while reading this article. She said that my suggestions are weird.

Well, it might be considered weird but these are all unique. Just make sure that you are not eating these foods everyday.
