D-op-ed: Anak ng Jueteng

A news item says anti-jueteng advocate Bishop Cruz is ready to name 2 Aquino officials on jueteng payola 
Problem is, Aquino isn't

In another report, DILG undersecretary Rico Puno admits receiving feelers from jueteng lords.
Tanong: ni Miriam: Ngayon lang? Bakit kay Puno?
Sagot: Bago pa lang kasi na-announce ni PNoy sino may hawak ng PNP



Also another Puno news item from the Philippine Daily Inquirer: Puno admits offers from 'jueteng' lords, turns them all down
And we all know why. 2M per month? kaliit nun!

Palace to Cruz: We're all allies vs jueteng
Cruz to Palace: Sino yang nagsasalita? Balay o Samar?

According to a Functional Literacy and Mass Media Survey (FLEMMS) survey, around 9 million Filipinos can't compute.
On the bright side though, an overwhelming majority of that figure can use a computer and maintain Friendster or Facebook accounts.

Meanwhile, in the tech industry...
After a Bing exec comes out in an interview saying that they already had a version of the hyped up Google Instant a year ago, Yahoo now claims theirs even predates Bing's a-year-ago Google Instant -like app. They even "filed patent applications on the feature." Wonder who's coming out with another we-already-had-that claim next? Well, count Baidu out. This search engine company is Chinese.
