Today is the last day for new voters and other residents of Basilan (except Isabela City), Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Shariff Kabunsuan (except Cotabato City), Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi to register under Republic Act 8189 to be able to vote in the Aug. 11 elections in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
Some 150,000 new voters and others still unregistered are expected to be added to the list of registered voters in the six provinces comprising the ARMM.
As of the May 14, 2007 elections, the six provinces have the following number of registered voters: Basilan, 140,232; Sulu, 250,457; Shariff Kabunsuan, 198,330; Maguindanao, 337,044; and Lanao del Sur, 396,927.
Comelec officials assured that the election officers in all the towns in ARMM will be ready the whole day today for the heavy influx of late registrants and others who are still unregistered to list up for the Aug. 11 ARMMwide polls which will be fully automated.
The Comelec, now under the leadership of Chairman Jose A. R. Melo, said the registration of new voters will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the offices of election officers of the six provinces.
The EOs will use Data Capturing Machines (DCMs) in line with the policy to establish a clean, complete, permanent and updated list of voters through the adoption of a systematic registration process utilizing biometric technology.
Comelec officials said prospective registrants are required to bring with them any of the following identification documents when they register: current employees ID with the signature of the employer or authorized representative; Postal ID, Student’s ID or Library Card signed by the school authority, Senior Citizen’s ID, driver’s license,NBI or PNP Clearance, passport, SSS or GSIS ID.
In the absence of any of the identification documents, the applicant may be identified by any registered voter of the precinct, or by any of his relatives within the fourth civil degree of consanguinty or affinity.
Under Comelec en banc Resolution No. 8473 which was approved before Melo assumed his post, the EO shall conduct the registration from April 1 to 10 but upon the recommendation of the Provincial Election Supervisor (PES) with the concurrence of the Regional Election Director, when the situation warrants, the Commissioner-in-Charge of ARMM may designate a special action officer in a city or municipality of the region to assist the local EOs.
Comelec en banc Resolution 8427 provides that in the course of the registration process, a DCM or its peripherals become defective, the EO, through the PES, upon certification by an accredited technician shall immediately inform the Information Technology Department (ITD) and the Election and Barangay Affairs Department (EBAD) that the DCM and/or its peripherals are defective so remedial action could be promptly taken.
Resolution 8473 provides that any Filipino citizen residing in any of the six ARMM provinces may register as a voter provided he is at least 18 years of age on or before Aug. 11, 2008 and has resided in the Philippines for at least one year and in the place where he proposes to vote, for at least six months immediately preceding the Aug. 11 polls.
But those who have not reached the required age or period of residence on the day of registration but will possess such qualifications on or before Aug. 11 elections may register as voters.
The Comelec said applicants are required to personally appear before the EO, state his name and exact address specifying the house number, name of street, area, district, purok or sitio, and barangay where he resides, or brief description of his residence.

MARAWI CITY, 4 April 2008 — The newly appointed president of the Marawi-based Mindanao State University (MSU) System Macapado A. Muslim told Arab New recently that he aims to regain MSU’s academic excellence and strengthen its revenue-earning capacity.
“I did not buy this position with the money from my relatives,” Muslim said illustrating his pledge not to bow to special interests or engage in nepotism.
The second-largest university system in the Philippines, with an annual budget of P769 million for its main campus alone, has witnessed a series of crises caused by the various self-interested parties coupled with political and ideological interests in the area.

MANILA, Philippines -- A bill that seeks to criminalize mimicking or
imitating a person's way of speaking particularly his peculiar accent
or diction in an insulting and degrading manner has been approved by a
committee at the House of Representatives.
House Bill 948 authored by Lanao del Sur Representative
Representative Faysah Dumarpa was approved for floor deliberations by
the committee on national cultural communities headed by Benguet
Representative Samuel Dangwa.
Dumarpa's bill seeks to prohibit religious or racial discrimination against Muslim and other members of the cultural minorities.
It proposes a fine of P200 to P6,000 or penalties of arresto mayor
(one month to six months imprisonment) to prision correctional (six
months to six year imprisonment) for violators.
Aside from mimickry or imitation, the proposed legislation also
penalizes those who would subject any person to "unnecessary,
unjustified, illegal and degrading search because of his manner of
clothing, religion, color, creed, and ethnic identity."
"Discriminating a person who is applying for a job just because of
his name, religion or ethnic background might also be a ground for
imprisonment," Dumarpa said in a statement on Thursday.
The bill also provides that a person wearing a traditional costume,
veil or turban should be allowed to enter business establishments such
as restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, and similar places.
They should also be allowed to ride or passenger buses, taxis, ship or airplanes, Dumarpa said.
Dumarpa said the passage of the measure would "effectively
institutionalize the constitutional guarantee of equal protection and
religious freedom to all persons, regardless of their cultural
background, or chosen form of religion." Be the first to comment this article | Add as favourites (90) | Quote this article on your website | Views: 2041 | E-mail | Read more... |

Since August 2007, our team is trying to cope with every resources and put it piece by piece, like solving a puzzle without a whole picture. Everything comes from creativity and volunteerism.
This April 6, we received a comment via our Friendster account, friendster(@)ranaw.com lambasting our Objectives. I am posting the whole message below:
hi.. i'm Troy and i'm proud to be maranao., now i'm taking my school
year in overseas,, frist of all i would like to let you know that i
don't know why you became one of my friends list.
anyways .for
reall i don't really agree to all of those stuffs that you said but you
should dicted whats the meaning of the words that you said to this
page. because its all imposible and not truth.. and i understand that
you have a nice and briliant idea to make our city better place and
wonderfull. However you can't say to your point of you view that your
last objective is "others"...
whats the meaning of that word
"others?",, i may say probably the meaning of the others is for
terorisims. be involve in the that kind of name.. or i might be think
that the meaning of that others is being our city know as a " CHEATING
ELECTION at all times"
form now and then, i keep teeling to my
self that how can i change our city to became a nice and wonderfull and
friendly known city,. i'm studying right now in abrod searching and
seeking knowledge.. but still its hard to think whats the reall best
move. But i didn't get lost a hope for my vasion to may city..
hope
you get a little bet i dea to the words that i said.. and ohh yeah i
might be say that this is a formal page in FRIENDSTER! you should
analyze the words that you put into this page..
It makes me wonder, do we owe this to anybody? I guess not. We exist, because we believe in ourselves that we can do something atleast, but we are not controlled nor funded by anybody else. The construction of www.ranaw.com might be "against all odds", but certainly we don't give up and we won't give up. Not a single institution is funding us, except those dedicated persons lead by no less than Dr. Panda. We are doing this because we are happy of what we are doing, not because they tell us what we do so.
I would like to ask for your comments if this page needs revision or if the "others" should be deleted.
This is my reply to the message:
Others or synonymous to "more" could be some good things that we have not yet realized to do, and well be doing it then. Do you think Cheating and Election or Terrorism is there? We are an IT group, so do you think we could be connected in that in any way?
I don't think there is wrong with that. Because our group is doing whatever good things that we can possibly do.
It was our first time to receive an unsolicited negative criticism, but thank you.
