WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE??
The most drammatic success in our history as a young province was the recent May 14 election. Our Biliran voters in exercising their right to vote expressed their sentiments in a mature and valiant manner.

Fathers, victims of genocidation
The whole world today celebrates FATHER’S DAY. The world dedicates a especial day to honor fathers as fathers are one of the most important influences in the lives of children, and their unconditional love is an indispensable anchor of certainty and strength.
However, as children in the world rejoice with their respective father, it is sad to contemplate that here in Biliran, 2 families have mourned because of the brutal killing of their father. Their lives had not been spared from any political problems that provide great havoc in our peaceful place. One of the many unfortunate, regrettable aspects of the tragic events of June 7th, 2008 besides the fact that two people have lost their lives. more

STATEMENT OF TRUTH
REGARDING THE PERSON OF STEPHEN GREINKE AND HIS MALICIOUS ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THE BISHOP OF NAVAL
We, the Clergy and faithful of the Diocese of Naval, would like to express our strongest condemnation to the lies peddled by Stephen Greinke against the bishop of Naval, the Most Rev. Filomeno G. Bactol, D.D.
Last January 2, 2008, Stephen Greinke, in a nationally televised network, has accused the bishop of sexually molesting young boys. We are aghast at this accusation because the bishop is a person of integrity whose ministry of 40 years (15 years in the seminary as formator, 7 years as Pastor, and 18 years as Bishop of Naval) has never been enmeshed in any controversy, much less scandal. We are appalled even more at the brazermess of Greinke as to impute upon the good name of the bishop the very same crime he was accused of doing against innocent young boys in the very Association he bas come to found, purportedly to proclaim the love of God only to find out it has become a trap for his sexual perversions! Such lies therefore that he has concocted can anly come from a heart whose hatred is as deep as his own twisted understanding of what is good and moral. ..... more
GAS PRICE
Join the resistance! I hear we are going to hit close to $1.50 a litre by summer and it might possibly go higher! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Jun Paterno offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around earlier! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $.79/litre is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.10 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC ... more
From Advent through Christmas to New Year - a message from biliranevent.com
The Advent season is a special time in our Christian community and a perfect time to preparation to celebrate for the birthday of Christ. As we once again prepare to celebrate the feast of Christmas, we are reminded of God’s great love for us. More importantly, the feast of Christmas is a very special occasion and a time for us not only to reflect on Jesus’ love for us but also to respond to his love by demonstrating love for our fellow men and women. May the expressions of goodwill and the gifts that we exchange be the outward manifestation of that love. more...
CEBUANO KO BAI! ( author unknown)
I am not a Filipino, never considered myself one a long time ago. I am a Cebuano and my late father once said: "There's a whale of a difference between the two". And that distinction between the Cebuano and Filipino is never more pronounced than the result of the 2001 Senatorial Elections. The election results nationwide from Manila to Mindanao showed an even trend, far below the expectations of the anti-Erap advocates. Can you believe that? After we've been screwed in the ass by a pea-brained Tagawg! But the Cebuanos voted differently. We Cebuanos voted with the same clear sightedness and maturity that scared the shit out of Marcos and his KBL lap dogs who despite massive cheating and terrorism in collusion with his Ilocano Generals were defeated by the Pusyon Bisaya during the Parliamentary Elections in the seventies. We Cebuanos have a better sense of truth and justice and we have always been the vanguards against tyranny and oppression since 1521 when Chief Lapu-lapu whacked Magellan.( more )

In the light of recent incidents and the cloud of doubt cast on the recent elections in Biliran, I appeal to everyone to exercise their democratic right to air our protest to the Comelec and demand for a manual recount of the votes to ascertain the truth.
Let us not agree to a simple filing of complaint as we know from previous incident involving the late Gov Danilo Parilla against Gerry Espina Sr, that the process is not only slow but can be manipulated. We cannot wait for another 3 years for Comelec to resolve the issue of who are the rightful winners. We want it resolved now before any of the winning candidates assume position in June.
I retract my previous post that indicated silent acceptance of the election results.
Let us fight for our votes. Let us fight for the rightful winners.
Let us join a peaceful protest and demand for a full recount of the votes NOW, NOT LATER.

Comelec explains discrepancies in poll results
GMANew
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Thursday admitted that "human error" and not the machines used in last Monday's automated elections has caused the discrepancies between the printed and transmitted election results.
At a press briefing, Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said the error happened in choosing which memory card to use in printing the election returns (ERs). He assured that the machines are "counting accurately" and that manual reconciliation of the discrepancies is being done.
"As you can see, the situation is well in hand. It’s largely due to human error, and it has nothing to do with the system. The situation has been identified and it has been resolved," he said.
Jimenez explained that the transmitted election results in some areas do not tally with those in the printed ERs because some election inspectors "inadvertently" used the back-up memory card to print ERs instead of data from the main memory card.
FTS Jimenez said the back-up memory card stored 10 additional votes from the final testing and sealing (FTS) procedures conducted before election day, which caused the discrepancies. "FTS procedures only used ten ballots. The results of the FTS were saved on to the back-up memory cards and in some cases, where the [board of election inspectors] had to resort to contingency measures, they took out the wrong card for delivery for where they can print the ER," he said. "When that happens, there was now a variance between what they transmitted which was drawn from the main memory, and from what they printed, which was drawn from a back-up memory card," he added. Only 150,000 voters from about 190 precincts nationwide — or less than one percent of the total votes cast — were affected by the discrepancies, Jimenez also said. "It is a rather small number, pero syempre, nakakaalarma kapag nakita ng tao sa baba nang walang konteksto (but of course, this number is alarming if seen by people on the ground without the proper context)," he said. Manual reconciliation To solve the discrepancies, the Comelec said it would resort to "manual reconciliation" of transmitted results and data in printed ERs. Printed ERs will have to be compared with the transmitted results in Comelec servers to determine where the discrepancies are and how to correct them, Comelec information technology consultant Renato Garcia said. "This has been anticipated vis-a-vis our continuity plan. If you look at our continuity plan, it provides for a manual reconciliation to preserve the integrity of the computerized system. The reconciliation will be done to manual certificates of canvass (COCs) for those that have already been transmitted," he said in an interview after the press briefing. - KBK/RSJ, GMANews.TV
