  • People Power II in the Philippines: the First E-Revolution?
    People Power II in the Philippines: The First E-Revolution? Julius Court With the new Century over a year old, technology has now played critical yet very different roles in bringing two of the world’s leaders to power. Among others things, Florida will remembered for technological hitches that plagued the ballot counting and possibly pushed the outcome of the U.S. election in favor of George W. Bush. On the other hand, a new information and communications technology (ICT) - the mobile phone - was the symbol of the People Power II revolution in the Philippines. Arguably, the most lasting image of Ms Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s new Presidency was when, on being asked in a news conference whether a Lt. Gen. Espinosa was planning a coup, she called him up on her mobile phone. In moment of high drama she asked him directly if this was the case and after a brief conversation reported it wasn’t. But it was the use of cellphones for “texting” rather than calls that was the most intriguing part of People Power II and was also the key to its success. The lack of attention to the role of technology is surprising. People Power II was arguably the world’s first “E-revolution” - a change of government brought about by new forms of ICTs. “Texting” allowed information on former President Estrada’s corruption to be shared widely. It helped facilitate the protests at the EDSA shrine at a speed that was startling - it took only 88 hours after the collapse of impeachment to remove Estrada.

  • Surigao City: Automation Didn't Stop Vote Buying 240
    SURIGAO CITY: AUTOMATION DIDN'T STOP VOTE BUYING 240 A Case Study SURIGAO CITY: AUTOMATION DIDN'T STOP VOTE BUYING A major concern of the Surigaonons with whom Project 3030 had interaction during the field research was the lack of transparency in the automated election process. For them, the speed of the AES was not an answer to the systemic problem of vote buying in the city. It was also not enough to compensate for the grave lack of transparency of the system (which does not even show the voters how their votes were interpreted by the machine, or assure them that their votes were actually counted by the machine). SURIGAO CITY - Surigao City, the capital of the province of Surigao del Norte in Mindanao, was chosen as one of the case study areas of Project 3030 based on the reports received of delayed deliveries of machines and other election paraphernalia, and the PCOS glitches that several voting precincts encountered on election day. There were also reports of vote buying. Case Study Methodology Project 3030's research team went on the ground to validate the reports received by the national office on election day, and to gather other relevant information. The case study for Surigao City was conducted from July 12-13, 2010. Key informant Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted by the Research team to gather information on what actually transpired in the city on election day, and even on the days before and after that. Informants included Smartmatic technical personnel who served in Surigao Norte National High School, San Pedro Elementary School, and San Isisdro Elementary School; members of the Board of Election Inspectors (BEI) who served in various schools and village voting centers; a member of the Board of Canvassers (BOC), voters, and poll watchers.
