Just got back from ABS CBN, guesting for Manolo’s The Explainer about the ZTE deal. An hour before that, I also had another taped interview for another show on ANC. The topic was about buying and selling online web properties. Guess the sale of PinoyTopBlogs got their attention.
While using their PCs, I discovered that this blog is blocked from their network. My other blogs are showing fine though. Why, oh why? The MIS people at ABS-CBN doesn’t like surfers reading my blog then.


































ABS probably thought your daily posts was as addicting as stumbleupon. XD
my blog is blocked, too at anc.
I think.. ginagawa kasing “portal” tong site mo.. XD pero weird yun. lol
same here my friend…wehehehe
I think yugatech.com would be in the “productivity breaking” category of the filter.
I think some filters automatically block sites frequently visited by users.
Do you have any idea what date/time they are going to air your ZTE and sale of PinoyTopBlogs interview?
Thanks
May mga sumisira kasi sa company nila.
Naninira pala.
baka NSFW hehe
oo nga NSFW nga lol*
The Show with Manolo was quite successful yuga, and nice way of explaining the basics our senators seem not to get a hang of, what I hate in the show though was some of the stupid questions of the audience, I think it’s time to put 6 units on IT subjects in the school curriculum…
What the heck! so sad to hear that I saw the Explainer last night and I saw you Abe, I thought it’s A-be.
The MIS people of ABS-CBN is consume by the darkside
and they had the guts to guest you lol:D
There is a replay this saturday right? at 10 am?
masyado sila natatakot at baka gawan ng poll-survey yung wowowee-SCAM-wilyonaryo and thats a sure sure against them! marami pa silang kalokohan and ayaw nila yung malaman ng mga tao!
yan po ang pagiging dictador, they are trying to dictate the people what to think! pati yung “zte-scam” is blocked dahil mas mahalaga sa kanila yung power ng mga nakapweto ngayun!
this is not being “democratic”… coz media is trying to dictate us what is the “truth” even it is all lies!
meralco
abscbn
maynilad
and others… all they want is to get hold of us pinoys! BS!
I saw most of the show. You and Manolo did a very creditable job trying to explain a complex issue … hats off to you both.
Having built and rebuilt (moving things from inefficient government to secured commercial networks) I don’t think the Philippine government (or any government) has any business building a network like they think the NBN would be … consider the difference between the old, government-run North Toll Road and today’s for-profit NLEX, but hey, everyone has to learn. The intelligent solution would seem to lie in the area of partnering with private industry and “assisting” the expansion of coverage, while running the government’s traffic on a secure “overlay” to the commercial backbone. It’s millions of dollars per year cheaper and it serves both the government and the consumer better.
abe, matatawa ka dito, apparently, besides our blogs, staff at abspcbn also can’t access abs-cbnnews.com
Ouch, di mo puede mapatanggal sa MIS?
Napanood ko ang pagguest mo sa the Explainer at ito ang aking mga opinyon
Ako ay regular na nanonod sa ANC( 60% ng time kung naka on ang tv ko). First time ko na nakapanood ng presentation tungkol sa NBN project na very informative at hindi biased.
Ang mga reporter nila na sila Ricky Crandang, Tony Velasquez, Pinky Webb, Pia Hontiveros, ay nakafocus lamang sa isyu ng NBN deal at kay Abalos. Dahil ba sa ito ay sensational na issue at pampataas ng rating?
Bakit hindi sila magorganized ng isang show, para kung saan yung mga may malawak na kaalaman hinggil sa iba’t ibang aspeto ng proposed government broadband network project (hindi ZTE o NBN deal) ay bigyan ng pagkakataon na gumawa ng mga presentasyon at magkaroon din ng malayang talakayan.Ito ay makakatulong upang lumawak ang kaalaman ng mga mamamayan hinggil dito? kung kinakailangan ay hatiin sa segments para pwedeng ituloy sa ibang oras kung kinakailangan.
Kung ating susuriin ang ipinalalabas sa ANC, karaniwan ay inuulit ulit lamang at walang gaanong naitutulot na mahalang dagdag kaalaman sa mga mamamayan.
Sana sa initiative ni MLQIII ay ituloy pa sa ANC ang usapan hinggil sa national broadband network.
