July 16, 1990 and Earthquake Disaster Preparedness

I wasn't in the Philippines when this happened in 1990. But I've watched news updates then on CNN and a few weeks later my aunt received a video tape from Rotarians of Pangasinan of the destruction in Dagupan. So when I came back to the Philippines I was no longer surprised at what I saw. But going to Baguio was a different story, I was so sad for those people who lost their lives, families, houses.Last year, July 16,...

Working was a great experience for me, having an important role during the elections....

Thanks to everyone who dropped by often, despite my not being actively blogging this past month. Thank you very very much for keeping me company. I've been extremely busy working before and until the end of the first Philippine Automated Elections 2010. I worked as Precinct Count Optical Scanner(PCOS) Supervisor which, to be honest, also baffled me at times due to the lack of training we had. It turns out, everything...
