Unahan ko na, I’m just a single individual here in ulop wala akong kaalyadoo sa magkabilang panig
I just stand by my own principle at hindi nman basta naniniwala o nanahimik na lang kapag may mga ganitong issue
Kung mayroon man akong nais itanong ito ay para sa sariling anaylis ko lamang at walang impluwensya ng kahit na sinuman, sana naman po ay irespeto nyo ito at umaasa ng matapat na kasagutan.
Points to consider, bago ako mag decide sa aking stand sa issue
(Pls. be patient mahaba lang)
Statement made by Zafra sa Computer world
To achieve its goal of bringing the local Internet café industry to a higher level, an advocacy group called
I-Café Pilipinas (I-Café) is proposing the creation of a national law that will increase the entry barrier among Net café businesses in the Philippines.
Ed Zafra, chairman of I-Café
• Eto naman ang reply ni ED Zafra after the post:
I wish to thank the TS and TopspinCafe for posting this news article here at ULOP. Those who have questions, comments and reactions about the content of the news can please post them so that we can clarify what we mean.
IMO: so meaning, confirmed nya na tama yung posting
After na may mag react dun sa mga statements nya, eto nman ang sinabi nya
I want to say that I am the Ed Zafra quoted and referred to in the different news releases about I-Cafe Pilipinas initiatives. I want to clarify some items in the various articles as follows:
A) The interview I had was free-wheeling with four (4) press people from different agencies asking questions about the current state of the internet cafe industry in the country and the initiatives that I-Cafe Pilipinas would pursue to alleviate the status of I-Cafe businesses. This is the reason why the topics of the 3 or 4 news releases referred on this thread were different from each other. This could also be the reason why I may have been misquoted or misunderstood by the interviewers.
IMO: dito parang nag iba na story, denial na (see the inconsistency)
Eto naman reply ni Bien:
finally, an original write up. :-)
Thanks Computerworld Philippines! ^^
Actually, eto pa lang write up na nakapag explain ng mabuti what the org was about.
iCafe Pilipinas is an org that will represent our industry on a national level. what we find, we pass on to the ICAs. Then the ICAs pass on to the individual shop owners.
My position over the matter:
I Café Pilipinas – using the word Pilipinas in their advocacy group created a major impact and curiosity among I Café owners at isa na ako dun. That’s why I’m here.
Using I café Pilipinas as representative of the whole I Café in the Philippines is a different thing, as if member ka man nito or hindi magiging saklaw ka na nito.
The term national law and national level irate some ulop members, as if may gusto nang mag control sa kanilang business.
Maybe kung hindi I café Pilipinas ang ginamit at hindi ginamitan ng mga national law at national level hindi magiging ganoon ang impact.
Let say ginawang I Café Pilinas Advocacy Group or any term na hindi pangkalahatan ang dating
and instead na national law/level.
Maybe kung ang sinabi that will represent each members of the group who bound to meet its own standards.
Meaning kung sino lang ang member at iyong gusto pang maging member ang pwede nilang saklawan.
I’m not against the formation of the NATIONAL ORGANIZATION or even maging Party List man ito in the future. For I believed na ito rin ang magiging sandalan ng paninidigan ng bawat isa sa aitn. Kumbaga, iba na rin ung may malalapitan o maninindigan para sa iyo kung kinakailangan.
The way icafe was organized, mukhang mayroon problema, instead na magkoroon ng electoral procedure sa pagpili kung sino magiging officers parang ang nagyari ay selection or appointment process at masyado naman yatang nagmamadali sa mga gusto nilang mangyari.
Okay it’s not for 2010, definitely kasi hindi pa ito papasa sa mga requirements as party list, pero by the next congressional/party list election kung maisasaayos siguraso magiging qualified ito.
So mahaba pa naman ang preparations.
I am not insisting on what I want, I always say baka pwede lamang ninyong ma iconsider
Salamat po sa mga nagtyaga na magbasa.
