Power of the People for Change: When will Philippine telecom companies stop fooling Filipinos?

When will Philippine telecom companies stop fooling Filipinos?

Month after month, one registers the one-month unlimited internet service of Smart Communications through their product SMART BRO. The service is dirt poor, it is so slow even for a one-month package and you are not assured that you will get uninterrupted signal for one day. The effective speed that you can use is less than one mega byte.

At times, the speed is just plain 0.

In the beginning there was UNLISURF and you register with the SMS message sent to SMART BRO number 2200 and you get the reply:

1/2 14Jan 19:35: You have successfully registered to Smart Bro Unlisurf 995 valid for 30 days. Php995.00 has been deducted from your load balance.

2/2 Now, enjoy 30 days unlimited surfing for ONLY Php995.00. Just send Unlisurf 995 to 2200.

The bloodthirsty wise guys of SMART Communications suddenly changed their policy. You are supposed to buy unlimited internet service, but only up to a certain limit every day. From the product name UNLISURF, they changed the name to NEW SURFMAX.

1/3 You have successfully registered to the NEW SURFMAX995. Enjoy All day surfing up to 800MB/day. Load is valid for 30 days.

Effectively you don’t have any more unlimited service but you keep paying for the same price for unlimited surfing in the United States where the currency is in US Dollars.

But then not to worry says the sneaky devil Smart Communications you are advised, if you have consumed all your daily 800MB Limit, on top of your monthly package under NEW SURFMAX to just register again for their BIG BYTES so-called promo where Smart Communications says you can avail of unlimited data. That adds salt to the injury.

Rogues Gallery of The Biggest Thieves (of Smart Communications)

Manny Pangilinan

Mon Isberto

Orly Vea

Polly Nazareno

Imagine registering twice for the same service and being blackmailed to pay two times.

Why are these immoral and indecent Manuel V. Pangilinan aka bading, erstwhile communist CPP-NPA-NDF Orlando Vea and sidekick Ramon Isberto, Napoleon L. Nazareno, their bosses at the Salim Group in Indonesia and all the other leaders of Smart Communications so greedy that they cannot provide good enough service and yet keep padding and padding their collections from the consuming public! They should refrain from this horrendous practice of amassing so much revenue without returning as much to their loyal patrons like us!

Smart Communications should stop picking pockets, robbing people of money. The officials of the National Telecommunications Commission is hereby called to task to stop receiving their salary that comes from us, hardworking citizens of this country if they cannot squelch this blood curdling thirst of Smart Communications for dirty income. Shit!

unmitigated padding of revenue from the public is very harmful especially if the service provider does not care about its patrons

The public must do something about it already. Organize and change the situation. The most awful conditions have persisted and pestered us for a long, long time. It's time for a change.

Philippines" Serious Quandary Over Lethal Floods

by the Resource Recovery Movement, Center for Human and Society

In the recent period, floods plagued a considerable area, encompassing broad sections across the globe.

Heavy recent flooding in India and Serbia, China, Japan among many other areas around the world

With heavy inundations such as these that can often kill with their own sheer power by drowning,
is there still a need for the water to be poisonous, toxic and very much hazardous to health or even deadly enough to kill?

In the Philippines, not the Secretary of the Department of National Defense now a bit too advanced in years unlike many past defense secretaries who braved calamities and got wet and dirty on the ground, but the helmsman of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) is a mite too busy nowadays. The chief is extremely tied up in many corners that at most times the poor disaster response executive does not even know where to plant his foot next.

Yet it is an inescapable Catch-22 situation. If the new chief of the Philippine Office of Civil Defense and the Secretariat of the NDRRMC follows the examples of his bosses, just stay put and let things unveil all by themselves, the people will be angry.

If the NDRRMC head appears very mobile and busy, the people are still not going to be appeased. They will be just as angry anyway. No option is a better one, even that of balancing between not doing anything and making an effort to be hyperactive.

A senseless new tragedy most recently hit the Philippines - not so much a tragedy as thousands of helpless citizens getting killed.

The powerful storm caused a maritime vessel Maharlika II in Cebu to drown, leaving as many as more than one hundred casualties. As of this writing, 70 persons are missing due to the tragedy.

All over the nation: Floods and landslides, destroyed crops, dead farm animals, ruined houses, buildings, vital installations and much more other forms of damage

A really sensible government will take every means to prevent people from getting caught in floods. Sadly enough, this is never true in the Philippines and not in many places around the world. They will simply snort: Expensive solutions! No one specially me needs them! So they let whole communities drown or suffer getting submerged waist or neck-deep in murky, life-threatening floodwaters

Both children and adults brave the waters in floods. No one puts the fear in their hearts that doing so is extremely dangerous to their health and the effects may only be felt after a long time.

Climate Change fight distracting governments

After the 2005 Hyogo Conference, scientists urged the United Nations to consider that the various conflicting issues surrounding Climate Change is "distracting governments" from providing solutions to threats of disasters worldwide.

"The current UN focus on "fighting climate change," as illustrated in the Nov. 27 UN Development Programme's Human Development Report, is distracting governments from adapting to the threat of inevitable natural climate changes, whatever forms they may take. National and international planning for such changes is needed, with a focus on helping our most vulnerable citizens adapt to conditions that lie ahead. Attempts to prevent global climate change from occurring are ultimately futile, and constitute a tragic misallocation of resources that would be better spent on humanity's real and pressing problems."

A letter written to UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon ventilated sentiments of scientists and technology experts on the issue of focusing deeper into finding means to adapt to the threat of climate change.

Thank you UN, ICRC,supportive Countries and Relief Groups

Thank you ICRC and Philippine Red Cross for all your efforts after #Yolanda in the affected Regions of the Philippines! More power to you! Godspeed and God bless you!

Thank you United Nations and United Nations OCHA (Director Khalikov), United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (Secretary Margareta Wahlstrom) for relief and recovery assistance, for your Flash Appeal world wide and to Excellency Ban Ki Moon for taking the time off his very busy schedule to visit Tacloban City! May God bless all of you and more power to you!

A very warm Merry Christmas and Happy New Year greetings to all your people, officers and workers all over the world!!! We love you all together with all those kind and generous ones from a myriad of countries and relief organizations that shared time, resources, blood sweat and tears for the victims of recent Philippine disaster!

One Festival Manila 2014

O N E

One is a rock music festival originally planned for April 2010 but was shelved due to the postponement of the Hazards Mapping and Environment Summit (HMES) 2010 - a sister project.

The HMES project is now revived and rescheduled to December 4-12, 2014, before the March conference in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture of the United Nations called the UN Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction.

On the fifth day of the hazards mapping and environment conference, One will be staged at Rizal Park, Manila beginning at past 5:00 pm Saturday, December 13, 2014 until the next day Sunday December 14, 2014.

One of the unique features of One is the use of biometric tickets, the technology for which will be negotiated up to final contract with a provider from the United Kingdom.

One is a concern of Center for Human and Society (Centre di Humanes et Societas, Inc.) a non-profit organization registered in the Philippines. The organizer's advocacy is pushing for and actively participating in the creation of resettlement sites far away from the ground zero where thousands of Tacloban City residents died as well as building Memorials for those that died in the places where the remains of those that passed away during the Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Haiyan codenamed Yolanda. These memorials will be where the relatives of those that died can express grief for their family, loved ones and bosom friends. Read more from here
