‘Miriam’ Trends on Twitter as Netizens Expressed their Dismay about the Election Results

MANILA, Philippines – ‘Miriam’ had trended on Twitter as Netizens expressed their dismay about results of the 2016 PH elections.

The senator ranked 5th out of the 6 presidential candidates in the partial results released on Monday, May 9, 2016.


Numerous voters had only two choices: Miriam Santiago or Rodrigo Duterte. However, in the end, majority had voted for Duterte.

As of 8:30 pm, Duterte is leading the race with 11,084,850 votes, while Grace Poe is in second, with 6,177,430. READ MORE HERE.

Miriam Santiago has been tagged as the Iron lady because as a public servant, she had never been linked to corruption, and illegal practices. Here are interesting tweets about Miriam Santiago:

PH Election Results 2016, Duterte Continues to Lead Presidential Elections, Marcos leads Vice-Presidential Race

MANILA, Philippines - Rodrigo Duterte continues to lead the presidential elections, while Bongbong Marcos leads the vice-presidential race on May 9, 2016. This is based on the partial unofficial results from COMELEC’s transparency server, as of 7 p.m. (ABS)


The voting precincts were officially closed at 5 p.m., but reportedly, there are still some that are conducting elections because some of the PCOS machines had bogged down.

As of 8 p.m.



As of 9:09 pm:




There are still more than 50 million uncounted votes, so it’s still anybody’s ballgame. Many Netizens expressed their dismay on the poor showing of Miriam Santiago, which was the last, based on recent reports.

Santiago had been topping the polls in majority of schools and universities nationwide and the election results were not reflective of the votes of the youth.

Rodrigo Duterte, the tough talking mayor of Davao, had his ‘miting de avance’ in Luneta and the throng of people who attended the rally outnumbered any of the other candidates.

If this can serve as an indication of the people who would vote for Duterte, then Digong will continue to maintain his lead.

Second to Duterte was Grace Poe; next was Mar Roxas, then Jojo Binay, Miriam Defensor-Santiago and Roy Seneres.

For the vice-presidency, Leni Robredo came in second, Alan Peter Cayetano, third. Chiz Escudero came next, Antonio Trillanes IV and Gringo Honasan.

Meanwhile, Netizens have trooped to Twitter to tweet about showbiz couple Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla and their controversial election pictures.

COMELEC had prohibited voters to take pictures inside the voting area and of their ballots.

Reportedly, the couple didn’t violate any rule. Read more HERE.

Hopefully, the smooth tallying of votes would proceed until a winner has been proclaimed. The 2016 PH election results must also be respected and accepted by all the candidates and their followers.

The 21 year old Igorot from Barlig has been going places since his photo went viral online. Recently, he was featured as a Boardwalk model, and had appeared in several TV shows.

He had gained immense popularity in the Philippines and abroad. Korea news had featured him twice because of his similarity to Korean actors, Jang Geun Seuk and Lee Min Ho. He was also featured in other international news.

Watch the videos below courtesy of The Lazy Boy's Journey.

     
On Facebook, the ALDUB (https://www.facebook.com/AlDub.0fficial/?fref=photo) page posted this on its timeline:
“DABARKADS na si CARROT MAN? It was reported that Carrot Man already signed to be a Dabarkads and is now a certified Kapuso. If the alleged regular appearance for the Carrot Man with the Dabarkads is true, he will then be joining another internet sensation and accidental love team “AlDub.” The pairing of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza also known as Yaya Dub has led to all kinds of records not only for “Eat Bulaga” but to the local social media as well. The Twitter-verse has been a witness how the so-called accidental love team flourished on national TV thru the longest running noontime TV show.”

12 Easy Tips on How to Succeed during Exams



1. Sleep early the night before the exams. You might not be able to fight sleep during the exam itself.

2. Never cram, but if you're forced to, prepare a study sheet that outlines the "must knows". When you're done studying this, you can proceed to the "nice to knows".
 
3. Don't leave any blanks in your answer sheet. If you don't know the answer, guess through deduction. You might come up with the correct guess.



 
4. Don't forget to write your name.
 
5. Follow all instructions properly.
 
6. Read the questions twice before answering, there are tricky and seemingly tricky questions.
 
7. Write legibly. An illegible answer is marked wrong, if the teacher can't read it.
 
8. Bring two ball pens or pencils, as the case maybe.
 
9. If you have more time, review your answers, if you're unsure of some answers, the first answer is usually correct.
 
10. Don't cheat. You're only cheating yourself and won't learn anything, even if you passed the exam. REMEMBER: the goal of studying is to learn, so RETENTION AND APPLICATION are essential. Passing the exam is the icing on the cake.
 
11. Smile and relax. Anxiety can cause mental block.
 
12. Remember to pray for Divine Guidance.

GOOD LUCK!

Confirmed: Carrot Man, Jeyrick Sigmaton, to Appear in Jessica Soho’s TV Show, KMJS

MANILA, Philippines – It’s confirmed by Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho (KMJS) on Facebook that the recently popular Carrot Man, Jeyrick Sigmaton, whose photos went viral on social media sites will appear in Jessica Soho’s TV show on Sunday, February 28, 2016.


Jeyrick Sigmaton (Carrot Man)


Carrot Man’s photos became viral when Edwina T. Bandong and company took pictures of him while on their way to Sagada for a tour. She posted them on Facebook and Netizens reacted to the “ruggedly handsome” Igorot man. Read related post HERE.

This was posted on KMJS’ official Facebook page:

“Matapos ang magdamagang pagcontact at paghahagilap sa kanya, Miyerkules ng umaga, natunton na ng aming team si Jeyrick Sigmaton na mas kilala ngayon sa social media bilang si Carrot Man. Kagagaling lang niya noon sa malayong bukirin, nag-ani ng gulay. Wala raw doong signal kaya laking gulat niya nang makumpirma niya sa aming team na nagva-viral na nga ang litrato niya. Ito ang unang litratong kuha sa kanya ng KMJS team. Ang kwento at ekslusibong panayam kay Carrot Man at kung paanong sa atensyong nakukuha niya ngayon, nais din niyang ipakilala sa publiko ang pamumuhay at kultura nilang mga Igorot. Isa lang yan sa mga istoryang dapat abangan ngayong Linggo sa ‪#‎KMJS11‬.” 

Jeyrick was also featured in 24 oras TV news. Netizens are rooting for him to become a showbiz personality. Jeyrick is still shy though, refusing to speak before the cameras during his first exposure.

Hopefully, he would gain more self-confidence with his exposure and be able to help more with his family through the entertainment industry. He may also have the chance to continue with his studies.
