Sign the Petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/pldtdsl/petition.html

To:  Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT)

As someone already mentioned, profit is the main fuel of companies, actually that is why their people ventured into entrepreneurship at the first place. It is sad that there exist companies (on this petition’s case, a fairly large on in our country) with an absurd balance between customer satisfaction and their big fat income statement.

I am a subscribed PLDT myDSL customer, I am not happy at all.

A lot are, they go through many pains with this company, one of which is that you’ll almost never get to talk to their technical support people who on the other hand, will disappoint you since they don’t help at all. I think I speak for everyone who’s working late at night for a critical research they have to submit tomorrow, but due to the bad administering of this company’s broadband service, it won’t happen.

PLDT myDSL or Vibe, everyone has complaints that back up against each other, this is just too horrible.

PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP, bad enough that there are ridiculously long BBS threads among most Filipino “tech talk” sites about the said services.

This protest aims at combining all those into one direct complaint against the company.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

I may now be part of the De La Salle-College of St. Benilde, but blood still runs thicker than water. The Knights nailed the Blazers 65-44 on the opening salvo of the 82nd Season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association today at the Big Dome.

An impressive start for my cousin Boyet Bautista, who missed our family gathering earlier today: the renewal of vows for our grandparents (please see my blog entry for this one). With a remarking 28 minutes game time, 3/12 at the rainbow line and 3/8 two-pointers, he was indeed the tool that gave CSJL its first win this season. He was not, however, named as player of the game by the commentators. They opted to give the title to RJ Jazul, Jr. but with due mention that Boyet was supposed to be the Player of the Game, but since he is used to receiving such honor, it’s high time to recognize the second best knight today.

In a simple ceremony held at the residence of my uncle Dick at BF Homes Parañaque, our grandparents (the parents of my mom) were re-married after sixty-three (63) years.

The occassion was attended by all of their children, as well as their grand & great grandchildren. Missing the affair was Boyet Bautista, who was at the Araneta Coliseum for the opening of the 83rd Season of the NCAA.

More health, power, and love to Lolo Cipriano and Lola Olympia!

IF BOYET Bautista is Toyota Otis’ super sidekick, Jayvee Casio is “super sub.” — myPBL.com

Indeed, even if he only contributed two (02) points yesterday (Toyota winning 83-80), the six (06) assists of Boyet did pretty well and helped them gain their second win in the Best of 5.

Since it was a holiday yesterday, we decided to pay the newest mall in town a visit: the SM Mall of Asia. Indeed, it has the right to claim as the 3rd largest mall in the planet. I mean, the area covered by the mall is reall huge!

The following pictures were taken thru my PalmOne Treo (so please bear with the quality):

In celebration of the country’s 108th Independence Day this coming Monday, 12 June 2006. Mabuhay ang Republika ng Pilipinas!

However, on my way to the office this morning, I noticed several establishments in Makati displaying the flag vertical. Nothing is wrong with this, but it’s on how they display the flag vertically: most of them having the red color at the left side — which is wrong.

If my memory serves me right, we were taught during our Citizen’s Military Training in Secondary School (thanks to Lt. Benjie Duran!) that if ever you will be displaying the Philippine Flag vertically, the blue color should be at the left side. Why is this so? The rationale — it is assumed that the flag will be hoisted by someone standing at the right side of the flag pole.

I hope that with this information, everybody will be displaying our country’s flag properly.
