Don’t get me wrong, i don’t necessarily understand nor side with Sigaw ng Bayan or whatever it’s “crying out for”. I’m just saying that it’s a lot easier to criticize and condemn, but takes courage to admit your deeper motives. I’d hate to point out that the website isn’t even claiming 9Million vists (accurately, it said “hits”). In the same way it shows a counter on its homepage that reflects it’s claim of 300k visits (and it’s not necessarily claiming these are “unique” visitors).

Now, and as pointed out many times on the posts above, these are hardly “impossible” or even “phenomenal”. Too bad we haven’t thought of putting up a website like this before they did, but bite it and live on! Do I even need to point out that Charter Change and the Sigaw ng Bayan movement is ACTUALLY ONE OF THE HOTTEST TOPICS right now? Just watch television on any channel in a day and you’ll get my point clearly.

Then again, it’s their right to speak up and so it is our right to speak out. Just avoid ascribing motives and whatnot because they just might do the same to us. And then nobody would know for the better. Cheers!

A techie was able to generate at least 800,000 “visits” to the homepage in just two days. At 5 files on the homepage, that’s over 4 million hits in just two days. From just one techie.

(Five browser windows opening the homepage per second equals 432,000 “visits” for every 24-hour period.)

The SigawNgBayan homepage, on the other hand, references 23 files, hence each “visit” to the homepage counts as 23 hits. If that techie “visited” the SNB site, that would’ve generated 1.98 milllion hits per day. From just one techie.

Nine million hits in 21 days is attainable. I just hope our fellow Filipinos don’t interpret that as 9 million people.

Instead, all the bruhaha and needless criticisms come about (and probably added another 2million or so hits to the the Sigaw ng Bayan website in the process).

I rather like the linked article as written above (http://www.yugatech.com/blog/?p=806). Now I’d say that’s a lot more professionally said than what MLQIII’s column tried, but failed, to say.

Ok fine, so the website got a lot more hits than this one. Fine, Lambino might not know the real difference between “hits” and “pageviews”, etc. He’s just a lawyer, it’s his web provider that most probably reported it to him first. Fine, we can all turn green with envy because of all the publicity, either negative or positive, they’re all having. But that still doesn’t count as enough ground to call them outright liars, cheats, etc. Else we’d be branded the same way we’re branding them.

It’s a learning experience though, so deal with it and good luck!

Here’s an EXSAMPLE from one of his posts: “I don’t see what is wrong in not supporting people who have constructive ways of solving our problems.” Multiple negatives make it hard to understand what one is trying to say.

In any case, sino ba ang nagsasabi among those opposing cha-cha na gusto lang nila ang status quo? They, and I count myself among them, do want change. They want to change the palace occupant. They want to change the cabinet. They want to to revamp Comelec. They want to reform the military. They want all sorts of changes. Nobody wants status quo, nor can anybody preserve it. Change happens whether we like it or not. But all of us want the kind of changes that agree with our deeply held beliefs.

regarding the 9,000,000 hits, and using jumper’s argument in number 7, maybe mr. cunanan did foresee it as a post-dated reading. who knows?

and as for the people’s initiative and charter change, i guess i’m just keeping an open mind. it isn’t a sin, after all, for people to advocate their thoughts and feelings regarding our government, for as long as we don’t say anything that may incite or promote rebellion among our fellow citizens.

we don’t want to get in trouble with the government and get detained now, do we?

I agree with you and Phil that respect for the constitution and the laws is due from every citizen specially government officials. I call it citizenhood, being aware, involved and even proud to be a Filipino citizen.

By the way de Quiroz’s column today, ” Yet again, alternatives” should encourage initiatives to direct to the right alternatives.
