Sir,
I am a Linux advocate. I also cannot afford a computer of my own. I have recently received a computer ‘donation’, so now I have a computer (which I am going to install linux on).
I have also a great idea where we can promote the use of Linux and give other poor guys like me a chance to own a computer.
A lot of organizations, people or companies have old computers that I think we can make them donate to an organization (like yours) that would then install linux and donate them to some other organization or people. I have been looking around for this and it seems that there is one in the US http://www.computerswithcauses.org/ but none in the Philippines. Could we handle something like this? I could think of several companies and people I could talk to that might be open to the idea of donating their computers.
Thanks,

ngayon na meron nang 26 storey twin towers under construction ang cagayan de oro, sana naman matauhan na ang mga government officials ng davao na hindi na tayo ang premier city ng mindanao, eh kasi naman ang bagal maka approve ng mga important projects like LRT, samal bridge, at ibang pang projects. probinsyang probinsya pa rin ang approach ng sistema. huh pag mata mo. dugay ra ta gibiyaan sa cebu, karon ang cagayan na pod ang sunod magkatawa sa ato.

wala kasi tayong hype sa davao eh, ok andyan na ang ayala pero kulang pa rin yan, tingnan mo ang technique ng cagayan, nag build sila ng high rise para ang business ambience ay parang go go go ang other businesses will follow. kahit pa sabihing mas mayaman ang davao, dapat naman highrise na ang i approve na mga projects. i pag bawal na ang mga 1 storey sa downtown. putsaks naman oo. kahit pag baligtarin pa ang mundo HIGHRISE ang biggest come on sa mga investors kasi kitang kita ng mata, hindi yang mga invisible projects. technique ba unta ba!

Dear Councilor,
i know that you have a small amount of time, hence i cut to the chase. as a resident of Davao City, i appreciate the legislative progress that is evident in the council, one thing though, after the no smoking ordinance passed years ago, most are hoping that a no spitting ordinance would follow, considering the health risk and an image uplift if it were passed. it would be pro health, pro citizens and pro Davao.

Hi councilor,
I’m Bambam. We’ve met before in USEP during the Software Freedom Day organized by Dabawengu and USEP. During our meeting, you’ve mentioned that you are blogging. I also learned that you’re an advocate of technology. I decided to contact you with regards to Bayantel’s wireless landline service. I have wrote the blog last January (http://adventuresofbambam.blogspot.com/2008/01/bayantel-wireless-and-dial-up-internet.html), kept quiet until someone suggested to report the problem. Bayantel is trying to control its services so that clients will be confined in their wireless service leaving consumers deprived of quality services that other providers can offer. Hope to hear from you on this matter.
Thanks!

Hi Councilor!
I dropped by your blog again.
I was just thinking ( insert: hoping ) if we could link our blogs?
Hoping for your favorable response.
Just tell me if you’d allow me to do so.
You can, if you have time ( I know you have very little for this one ) tell me in my shoutbox on my blog, whose links appears above.
Thank you very much.
NOTE: This is the same Patricio who asked you something about blogging event last month. Hope you remember.
All the best,
Patricio.

Hi Pete,
I just heard the news about the plan of converting the Artica Dome into a crematorium cum mausoleum? Is this true? This proposal, despite the high propobability that the facility will collapse should an earthquake start to wiggle it?
The notion that “it is OK to be turned into a place for the dead , after all – they are dead – in case it collapses, it’s OK because inside it are dead already” , is DISGUSTING.
A decent and moral society is judged on how it treats those who cannot defend themselves. The ultimate moral decay of society is reached when that society cannot even pay proper respects for the dead.
I hope you will put a sense out of this mess when this issue comes into your turf in the City Council.
If the place if indeed unsafe, there are only two options: structural strengthening/earthquake proofing (which is what builders in Wellington are doing to almost all high-rise building in this city. as you may know, Wellington (and perhapd the whole of NZ, is in a fault line too.), and demolition of the entire facility.
