Netizens to act on May 10

The country’s internet users have come together to form a network to keep a close watch on the May 10, 2010 elections.

Calling themselves #juanvote, the network challenges on citizens to use hi-tech means to expose and hopefully thwart electoral fraud and
violence.

The #juanvote also aims to document the country’s first nationwide
automated elections.

Citizen reports may be sent to or read at:

• Web/Livestream: http://juanvote.com
• Twitter: Follow @juanvote or use hashtag #juanvote
• Facebook: Search for #juanvote
• Email: report@juanvote.com
• Text: 09274004190/09995178201/09223913567
• Cable TV: Destiny Cable GNN Channel
• Radio: Via Code Radio (NU107/Magic 89.9/U92.3/Jam88.3)

The network holds its “Miting de Avance” on May 8, 3:00-6:00 pm at
Krispy Kreme Ayala Avenue, Makati City. During the event, it will
release a “Netizens Guide to Free and Honest Elections”.

The #juanvote network is spearheaded by the groups 100ARAW.com and
Blogwatch.ph, whose members were granted media accreditation by the
Commission on Elections – the first independent citizen journalists
and bloggers to be granted such a privilege.

Arguably the Philippines’ first internet-based citizens’ election
coverage network, #juanvote currently includes the following:

• Bloggers’ organizations 100ARAW.com, Blogwatch.ph, Cebu Bloggers
  Society, Mindanao Bloggers Community, GameOPS, Tech Tanod, Election Bloggers and  Reklamotion.
• Online media groups: Philippine Online Chronicles
• Technology enthusiasts: Vote Report Philippines and TXTPower
• Poll watchdog: Workers Electoral Watch
• Multimedia groups: RockEd Philippines, Code Radio (a group of FM
  radio DJs) and Kodao Productions
