TAGBILARAN CITY, May 17 (PIA)–Subling nipahinumdom si President-elect Rodrigo Duterte sa mga empleyado sa gobyerno nga kinahanglang dili lisod-lisoron ug e-tratar og maayo ang mga mokuha og mga dokumento o permit gikan sa mga ahensiya sa gobyerno.
Matud pa ni Duterte, mas maayong mohawa na lamang sa trabaho ang bisan kinsang maglisod-lisod sa katawhan sa pagkuha og permit ug mga dokumento gikan sa mga lokal nga kagamhanan hangtud sa Palasyo sa Malakanyang.
Si Duterte nagkanayon nga dali lamang alisdan ang mga empleyado nga tig-abusar sa ilang trabaho.
Miingon usab siya nga kun may madawat siyang reklamo gikan sa katawhan, mahimong paimbestigahan niya kini sa Ombudsman, ipasuspenso o di kaha pahawaon sa trabaho.
Gitataw ni Dutrte nga kinahanglang magtrabaho og maayo ang mga naa sa gobyerno ilabi na nga gikan sa buhis sa katawhan naggikan ang mga sweldo niini.
Samtang ang tanang aplikante sa gobyerno usab, mapa-departamento man o korporasyon nga gimando sa gobyerno apil na ang mga polis ug militar giingong dili angay magsalig sa palakasan tungod kay turn-off niining sistema ang umaabot nga bag-ong Presidente.
Alang usab sa promosyon, giingong wala na’y uban pang basehan kun di ang merito ug kamaayo sa pagserbisyo.
Karon, kun tinuod nga may pagmahal sa katawhan ug tinuod nga pagserbisyo, adunay lugar ang mga ingon niining aplikante ubos sa administrasyong Duterte. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)

Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte
City Hall, Davao City
Dear Mayor and incoming President of the Philippines:
I am writing you in order to convey to you a very important request in connection with the state of corruption here in my place, Lapu-Lapu City.
Before I may articulate my request, however, please allow me to give you a brief sketch about myself, as follows:
I am a septuagenarian and a lawyer by profession. I am not a politician, though, but I have been deeply involved in anti-corruption campaign in my place which made some people here to think that I am into politics. To underline my point, politics is not in my blood; and, if ever I join with those who are at the fore of the campaign against government corruption, the elixir that pushes me is not the fervor of politics but the feeling of compulsion to see that the people’s taxes are spent on such legitimate purposes as would benefit all, not only to a select few with political kinship with those in power. In short, my involvement in anti-corruption activities is not animated by personal reasons.
Going to my request, you may please find the same to be just a small item in your inventory of tasks to do for the fulfillment of your promise to eliminate government corruption. More specifically, my request refers to a number of counts of criminal indictment against Mayor Paz Radaza of Lapu-Lapu City before the Sandiganbayan in Manila and Branch 56 of the Regional Trial Court stationed in Mandaue City.
It may be recalled that a few months before the start of the election period for the May 9, 2016 national and local elections, the Sandiganbayan issued an order, directing the suspension from office of Mayor Radaza in connection with the aforesaid cases pending with said graft court. Incidentally, she was then the chief endorser in Lapu-Lapu City of the “Daang Matuwid” program of the outgoing president; and, for reasons not far from her being a member of the Liberal Party, the suspension order had merely hogged the headlines of both the national and local newspapers, while its implementation was freezing cold elsewhere.
My request, therefore, are only the following: (a) to please do something that would activate the implementation of the aforesaid suspension order; and (b) to please do also anything within your power to hasten the trial of Mayor Radaza’s aforementioned criminal cases.
At this point, please allow me to state that your pre-election promises has animated me to campaign for you, believing as I did that you will have no problem in replicating your success in Davao City in effecting control against graft and corruption, criminality and illegal drug. Along this line, it may not be amiss to tell you that I may have been the first to congratulate you through Facebook for your victory on the basis merely of the counting trend in your favor which I then saw to be irreversible.
Hoping that my foregoing request will find its way to your to-do list, I beg to remain
Yours very sincerely,
ATTY. ELMERGILIO N. YBALEZ

The Vice Presidential race has become so heated and allegations of cheating are flying all over traditional media and social media. Technical buzzwords suddenly became topics of conversations which added to the confusion. The terms hash, character encoding, digital signature and many more are discussed by people who are not necessarily experts on these matters.
The issues started when Bongbong Marcos initially led the unofficial tally but was quickly overtaken by Leni Robredo. The two candidates now have votes over 13M each but Robredo leads only by a thin margin. Marcos alleged that COMELEC modified the tally. The allegation became somewhat credible because a Smartmatic programmer made a cosmetic change on the software to properly display the enye character which initially showed up as a question mark. To make matters worse, the programmer broke protocol because he did not get an approval from the COMELEC before making the change.
Fortunately for the Filipino people, COMELEC did the right process in conducting the random manual audit (RMA). In a previous post, I expressed my worry that the RMA could be manipulated because the initial reports was that the precincts to be audited are to be selected before the elections. However, in the 2016 elections, the actual precincts for audit were selected on May 10 or after the election results were transmitted to the servers. This means any form of cheating at the vote counting machine (VCM) level can be detected.
Any modification of tally results can be verified from any of the three independent servers that the VCMs connected to and submitted the results. One server is used by the COMELEC for its unofficial and official tally. Another one is used by PPCRV and the other by NAMFREL. The independent nature of PPCRV and NAMFREL is intended to ensure that the COMELEC tally can be verified.
In other words, cheating by simply manipulating the tally simply wouldn’t work because that can be detected by looking at the NAMFREL and PPCRV tallies. Cheating by preprogramming results at the VCM level can be detected by the RMA. The combination of the RMA and the independent tallies by PPCRV and NAMFREL makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to manipulate the results.
I think it is irresponsible for people to allege that cheating has occurred simply because initially Marcos led the tally but later on Robredo took the lead. That situation was easily explained by the fact that the areas that favored Marcos where the ones that were able to send their results first. The areas that favored Robredo sent their results at a later time.
Those making the allegations must be able to show that COMELEC, NAMFREL and PPCRV tallies are significantly different. Then they should show that the precints were the alleged cheating has happened have a mismatch of data from the three servers.
We wish for certainty of the VP results by this time, but unfortunately the results are still too close to call. We probably just have to wait until all the ballots are officially tallied by COMELEC and certified by NAMFREL and PPCRV to be the same as that on their own servers.
