Internet voting for overseas Filipinos pushed anew

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) asked lawmakers anew to pass a law allowing Internet voting to attract more Filipinos abroad to participate in future polls.
“We have been asking for it for a long time already. We really hope a law allowing internet voting will be passed so that there will be fewer obstacles for Filipinos abroad,” said Commissioner Lucenito Tagle Tagle, chairman of the committee on overseas absentee voting.
The Overseas Absentee Voting law provides that only ballots cast and mailed ballots received by the Philippine embassies, consulates and other Foreign Service establishments shall be counted.
In the meantime, the poll official said they will now be looking to expand the use of the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines aside from Singapore and Hong Kong, where they were introduced in 2010.
Tagle said they are eyeing the possibility of also sending PCOS machines for OAV voting in Los Angeles and Abu Dhabi for the May 2013 polls.
According to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the number of overseas absentee voters has reached 801,838 with 212,009 new ones being added to the 589,830 already registered as of 2010.
At the start of the OAV registration period last November, the commission said it is looking to register a total of one million.
But Tagle said reaching the target may be dim at this point with only more than two months to go before the end of the registration period.
“At this time, our conservative estimate is we may reach only some 850,000 registered voters… maybe more but it is less than one million,” said Tagle. “But we remain hopeful.”
The Comelec set the OAV registration to end on October 31. (HDT/Sunnex)

About this wine-tasting event

For this upcoming event, Yats Wine Cellars turns your attention to the classic wines of Europe. Participants will taste five kinds of wines side by side, each kind representing either a region or a style of wine. Wine lovers of all level of sophistication will have no trouble appreciating the differences in styles.

The five kinds of wines selected for this wine-tasting session are:

Italian Red Wine – represented by the classic red wines from Tuscany made primarily from the Sangiovese grape variety.

Spain Red Wine – represented by the famous Rioja red wines made from the charming Tempranillo grape variety.

Bordeaux Red Wine – arguably the most popular and certainly one of the most well known wine regions in the world, its wines renowned for its ability to improve with age many years after bottling.

Burgundy Red Wine – hallowed as the Mecca for fans of Pinot Noir, sophisticated wine drinkers seem to always end up besotted by these elegantly but deceivingly powerful red wines made entirely from Pinot Noir, a grape variety most hated by growers because they are notoriously difficult to handle both in the fields and in the winery after harvesting.

Portugal Port Wine – these fortified wines which usually comprise of 12% wine and 8% brandy deliver arguably the deepest impressions of all forms of wine.
