SA kabila ng walangkatapusang pagbatikos athaka-haka sa kalalabasanng kauna-unahang auto-mated elections ay nagingmatahimik at matagumpayna nairaos ito.

Kagaya ng naunangpahayag ng Comelec ay nagkaroon ng katuparan anglahat ng paghahandang kanilang tinuran, mula educationcampaign sa sistema ng pagboto, performance ng PCOSmachines, compact flash (CF) cards, contingency measuresgaya ng bilang ng mga standby PCOS machines napamalit sa mga masisira at gensets sakalit mag-brownout,pati na bilis ng transmittal ng resulta ng bilangan sa loobng tatlong araw.

Nagmistulang askal na bahag ang buntot ang dati-rati’y mga makikisig na asong lobo na walang tigil sa pag-alulong ng lahat ng klase ng “dooms day scenario”hinggil sa kalalabasan ng kauna-unahang automatedelections sa ating bansa.

Kung mahina ang iyong dibdib sa klase ng mgaprediksyong kanilang pinagkakalat ay malamang inatakeka na sa puso o di kaya’y nasiraan na ng bait. Nguni’tkahit gaano man kasinsin o ka-efficient angpaghahandang pinag-sunugan ng kilay at lamay ng mgahenyo sa Comelec upang siguruhing walang palpak namangyayari ay mayroon pa ring masasabi natingsumablay.

Maliliit na bagay na kung tutuusin ay di na dapatpagtuunan ng pansin sa dahilang napaka-simple nito atmaituturing na hindi na importante sa dahilangkaraniwan ng nangyayari at ginagawa sa araw-araw –ang pagpila sa presinto.

Maliit na bagay... tutoo, nguni’t maaaring magdulot ngkaguluhan na kalauna’y pagsimulan ng failure of elec-tions gaya ng ipinanakot ng makakati ang dila at walangmagawa. Bakit ‘kanyo? Unang-una, napakahaba ng pilasa lahat ng presinto at nakabilad sa kainitan ng araw angkawawang botante ng hindi bababa sa 3 oras angpagkabilad.

Nariyan pa ang mga balahurang bigla na lamangsisingit ng di alintana ang sakripisyong dinanas ngmga pumila sa gitna ng initan. Ano resulta? May nag-aaway hanggang magkasakitan at mauwi samalawakang riot.

Kung ganito ang naging kalakaran sa buong bansa, anoang kalalabasan? Mabuti na lamang at imbes na mag-away ay minabuti na lamang ng iba na umuwi atmagpalamig kaysa ibuhos ang init ng kanilang ulo sa mgakapwa botanteng kumukulo ang dugo sa pagkabilad sa 41degrees na init ng araw noong eleksyon.

Halos 30% ng botante ay nagsisipag-hinagpis dahilhindi nakaboto dahiil lamang sa pagwawalang bahala saisang munting bagay na nakaligtaan o talagangkinalimutan sa pag-aakalang di ito mahalaga.

Sinong henyo sa Comelec nga naman ang mag-aakalang importante ang pagpila sa araw ng eleksyonsamantalang dati na itong ginagawa. ‘Ika nga ngpilosopong barbero namin sa Laguna, paano namanbubuhusan ng atensyon ang pagpila e, hindi naman ‘yan“ballot secrecy folder” na nagkakahalaga ng milyun-milyon.

Nairaos ng matiwasay ang kauna-unahang automatedelections sa bansa at wagi ang Comelec sa naging resultanito. Talo naman ang botante pagka’t marami angnagkasakit at inatake ng high-blood pressure sa tindi nginit idagdag pa ang mga dismayadong hindi nakabotodahil sa haba ng pila.

WHEN the Quezon City 1.1 million vot-ers rendered their judgment yesterday, theyresoundingly picked honesty and proventrack record of their political leaders overphony promises and put-on persona ofthose who want to worm their way intocontrolling the city government.

Liberal Party mayoralty candidateHerbert ‘Bistek’ Bautista voiced confidencesaying that the overwhelming majority ofQC voters supported his call of clean poli-tics even when the black propagandamachineries of his rivals went into over-drive in trying to destroy his reputationduring the campaign.

“The public has gotten wise about thesedirty tricks and they have spoken againstthose who tried to hoodwink them by ped-dling lies. I campaigned on legitimate is-sues while my opponents scraped thegutter to throw false charges against me.I have absolute trust that the truth willbear me out,” Bautista stressed.

He said his unblemished record inpublic service and tangible programs forthe people has granted him a new man-date to continue serving them – this timeas Quezon City ’s new chief executive.

Bautista added that a similargroundswell of public support has car-ried forward the rest of his team includ-ing his running mate, LP vice mayoraltybet Joy Belmonte and their lineup in thecity council.

NOYNOY STARTS SEARCH FOR CABINETSENATOR Benigno "Noynoy"

Aquino III is in the process of assem-bling his Cabinet in the event he's of-ficially proclaimed as the new Presi-dent.

Aquino said Corazon "Dinky"Soliman, the former secretary of theDepartment of Social Welfare andDevelopment, has accepted his offerto the same post

"We're already doing a talent searchfor the Cabinet positions...who willactually be implementing our policyguidelines and our directions..."he tolda press conference in his native Tarlac.

"Si Dinky po ang una kong nakausap

sa DSWD. Sumang ayon siya kung tayopo ay magkakaroon ng kapangyarihan.Sa June 30 ho siya siguro ang una kosigurong isusulong sa CA [I first talkedto Dinky for the DSWD post. She agreedto it once I get the power. On June 30,maybe she would be the first that I willpush in the Commission on Appoint-ments]," he said.

"As of now, it's only Dinky that I'vetalked to, who has accepted," he said.

Aquino said he's also consideringhis cousin, Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoroto be part of his Cabinet.

"Siyempre mauunawaan natinkung hindi man siya makikipagusap

sa mga susunod na araw muna.Kailangan na ma-absorb lahat na pona nangyari, lahat nang lesson. Perobukas po tayo sa kung anongpakikipanayam [Of course, we willunderstand if he will not talk to usin the coming days. We have to ab-sorb everything that happened, allthe lessons. But we are open to anycommunication]," he said.

Aquino also said he's confidentthat his runningmate Mar Roxaswould be able to catch up with MakatiMayor Jejomar Binay who's leadingin the tightly contested vice presi-dential race.

MANILA Archbishop Gaudencio Car-dinal Rosales praised yesterday the suc-cessful automated elections despite somereports of glitches such as defective pre-cinct count optical scans (PCOS) thatcaused delays.

Rosales, along with Media Office di-rector of the Catholic Bishops’ Confer-ence of the Philippines (CBCP) Monsi-gnor Pedro Quitorio III, led the thanks-giving prayer at 6 a.m. at the commandcenter of the Parish Pastoral Council forResponsible Voting (PPCRV) in Manila.

The archbishop likewise commendedthe successful automated election, de-scribing it as a “milestone” in thecountry’s history.

He also lauded the voters for patientlywaiting their turn in the long queuesunder the intense summer heat to be ableto exercise their right to vote.

“Thank you to those behind this au-tomation. They did a good job,” he said.

He further added that although thepolls encountered some glitches in theuse of the PCOS machines, the electionsturned out to be generally peaceful andorderly. Angelie Escandor

Cardinal commendsautomated polls

Automation part of Gloria legacyMALACAÑANG claimed yes-

terday that the successful conductof the first-ever automated elec-tions in the country is part of Presi-dent Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’slegacy.

“The nation had spoken. Presi-dent Arroyo had delivered on herpromise to hold the first-ever auto-mated national elections,” saidPress Undersecretary for Opera-tions Rogelio Peyuan in a pressbriefing.

Peyuan described lastMonday’s election as generallysuccessful, with a big voters’ turn-out and less election-related vio-lence than in previous presiden-

tial elections.“With automation, the people

were able to observe immediatelythe counting of their ballots in dif-ferent polling centers of the coun-try, which is due to the coopera-tion of teachers, the election inspec-tors, the Armed Forces and Philip-pine National Police, the media, thechurch and so many other volun-teers,” Peyuan said.

Peyuan said in the last threeweeks, the entire governmentmachinery has been preparing forthe smooth transfer of all materials,funds and programs and aninventory of what has to be turnedover to the incoming administration.

Comelec waits for all results before proclamationTHE Commission on Elections

(Comelec) said all winners in the sena-torial and party-list races in lastMonday’s automated polls will not beproclaimed unless all the results havebeen counted.

The Comelec also serves as the Na-tional Board od Canvassers which iscounting the votes on this year’s elec-

tion, the first ever computerized elec-tion in the country.

“Way back then, the practice wasto proclaim winners even without com-plete election results if only to avoidprotests. But here under the [auto-mated] system, there can be no proc-lamation unless there is a hundredpercent count,” said Comelec chair-

man Jose Melo at a press briefing onTuesday.

Melo issued the statement after theComelec released partial official re-sults of the elections early Tuesday.He noted, however, that they wouldno longer release any updates aftertheir last report based on votes castby 30,431,735 voters.

Dr. Meleda Polita, secretary of thecanvassers’ board, said 92 percent ofelection returns have been transmit-ted to them as of 12 noon Tuesday.

NAKARAOS din tayo saeleksyon.

Palakpakan natin ang mgaguro, mga sundalo, volunteers,kapulisan, pati na rin ang mgastaff and crew at hosts ng atingmalalaking TV network and ra-dio stations na naghatid sa atinng balita patungkol sa botohan.

Palakpakan natin ang mga taga-Comelec na sa gitna ngmaraming batikos at paninira at pagdududa ng ibang tao sakanilang kakayahan ay hindi natinag sa kanilang hangaringmakagawa ng isang matagumpay na eleksyon at taas-noonghinarap ang lahat ng hamon.

Pati na rin ang mga taga-PPCRV at ang daan-daang volun-teers nila na nagbantay sa boto ng bawat Pilipino.

Silang lahat ang mga bayani ng eleksyon na ito at nararapatlang na mabigyan sila ng papuri for a job well done. Papuri parasa isang tagumpay na akala natin ay hindi makakayang gawinng Pilipinas.

Palakpakan natin ang milyong milyong Pinoy na sa gitna nginit ng araw, haba ng pila, gutom at pagod at mga nakakairitangkaguluhan sa PCOS machines ay walang humpay na nagtiyagaat naghintay para makaboto upang iparinig ang kanilangnagsusumigaw na boses para lang sa pagbabago.

* * *Sabi nila may failure of elections.Sabi nila may plano ang mga generals para sa isang military

junta.Sabi nila maraming manggugulo.Sabi nila may brownouts sa maraming lugar.Sabi nila ang mga makina ay palpak at hindi babasahin ang

boto natin.Sabi nila walang signal ang mga cellphone network na

gagamitin.Sabi nila hindi matutuloy ang eleksyon sa maraming lugar.Sabi nila walang maidedeklarang bagong presidente ng

Pilipinas.Pero hindi. Puro lang ‘yan sabi nila.Natapos din natin ang eleksyon, at kahit na ano pang sabihin

ng ibang tao, tapos na yan at himalang nairaos nang maayos sakabuuan.

Mahirap pigilin ang isang bansa na naghahanap ng tunayna pagbabago.

At the end of the day, ang Pilipinas din ang siyang panalorito.

Mabuhay ang bagong Pilipinas!Mabuhay din ang ating bagong Presidente at Bise-Presidente!

sigurado kaming masaya sila. Sigurado kaming nakangiti silangpareho para sa kanilang anak na si Noynoy.

Kung ano man ang unfinished business nina Ninoy at Cory,ipagpapatuloy at tatapusin ni Noynoy.

Naghihintay at umaasa ang buong Pilipinas.

Mabuhay ang bagong Pilipinasat bagong presidente

ASAP willing to sit down and talk with PASAIF only the leadership of the Philippine

Amateur Swimming Association (PASA) ledby Mark Joseph would open its ears and rea-son, its differences with the outspoken Phil-ippine Aquatics Sports Association or ASAPwould not be rebellious without a just cause.

The brave women of ASAP just want Jo-seph to clean up his act by calling a legiti-mate election of PASA officers because hisascendancy to presidency and his second termreelection was a pure sham.

Why, because he does not belong to or haveany swimming club which is a pre-requisitefor becoming a PSA chieftain.

Besides, his reelection held two weeks ago

in Cebu City was held only two days beforethe date instead of the customary 15-daynotice.

According to ASAP vice president Jane Ong,ASAP is not exactly closing the door on work-ing hand in hand with the country’s nationalsports association for swimming.

“Sure, why not. We’re open to that,” Ongsaid when asked about it at the Tuesday PSAForum.

Joseph was also invited in the weekly ses-sion presented by Outlast Battery, PAGCOR,Accel and Shakey’s, but said he wasn’t avail-able as he was out of town for the nationalelections.

PHILIPPINE BasketballAssociation (PBA) commis-sioner Renauld "Sonny" Bar-rios plans to call for a specialBoard meeting if and when theimpending trade of Sta. Luciasuperstar Kelly Williams to Talk'N' Text finally pushes through.

Barrios considers sensitive thecase of the 6-foot-4 high-flyingforward, whose looming transferto the Tropang Texters is designedto allow him from suiting up forthe RP-Smart Gilas team.

Officials of both Sta. Luciaand Talk 'N' Text admitted talkshave been ongoing on how tomake the deal works.

“Frankly, what I intend todo is to ask the (PBA Board)chairman to call for a special

Sta. Lucia’s Kelly tradeto Talk ‘N Text hangs in balance

meeting rather than I makinga decision on my own (regard-ing the trade),” said Barrios,who sat beside PBA chairmanLito Alvarez in the presiden-tial table in Tuesday's PSA Fo-rum at Shakey’s U.N. Avenue.

“But that would happen ifand when a trade is made.Right now, we’re all talkingtheoretically.”

Alvarez concurred with thePBA commissioner.

“When that request comes,the Chairman would not hesi-tate to call a meeting to tacklethe case,” said Alvarez, alsoteam manager of Air21, in thesession presented by OutlastBattery, PAGCOR, Shakey’sand Accel.

Our Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadWhen I have asked suffering people, “Who helped

you?” not one person has mentioned a PhD from aprestigious seminary or a famous philosopher. All ofus have the same capacity to help those who hurt.

No one can package or bottle the “appropriate”response to suffering. If you go to the sufferers them-selves, some will recall a friend who cheerily helpeddistract them from their illness. Others think such anapproach insulting. Some want honest, straightfor-ward talk; others find such discussion unbearablydepressing.

There is no magic cure for a person in pain. Mainly,such a person needs love, for love instinctively detectswhat is needed. Jean Vanier, who founded the L’Archemovement for the developmentally disabled, says:“Wounded people who have been broken by sufferingand sickness ask for only one thing: a heart that lovesand commits itself to them, a heart full of hope forthem.”

Such a love may be painful for us. But real love,the apostle Paul reminds us, “Bears all things, believesall things, hopes all things, endures all things” (1 Cor.13:7).

As is so often His pattern, God uses very ordinarypeople to bring about His healing. Those who sufferdon’t need our knowledge and wisdom, they need ourlove. — Philip Yancey

O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother!Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;

To worship rightly is to love each other,Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. —

WhittierThey do not truly love who do not show their

love. —Shakespeare
