"Election" is trending word in Yahoo Philippines

Today is National Election Day and considered as special non-working holiday. Filipinos once again are given the chance to select the leaders they thought to carry the nation's goodwill and aspirations.

Election is not just felt in physical life today. The popularity of this election has come to invade the cyberspace. Proof to this is the trending of the keyword "election" in famous search engine Yahoo Philippines. Also trending right now are the following keyword: Vice Ganda, Jennifer Lopez and Cebu. Vice Ganda, a popular comedy artist in the Philippines, also trends in Yahoo after bashing Nancy Binay for becoming too ambitious by running a senate post even without experience.

Symbianize.com is back to usual business

Good News to all Symbianize users! After being down for almost couple of weeks, Symbianize.com- the largest online Pinoy forum site is now back to business as usual. Symbianize is an exclusive Pinoy Chat, Mobile and PC community according to its banner logo.

So what happened to Symbianize? Below is the official announcement posted by its moderator named Marquess.

Bago mag New Year's eve nagsimula pong mag-down ang Symbianize. Ito ay dahil sa sunog na nangyari sa data center kung saan naroon ang server ng Symbianize. Fireproof po ang server room kaya di ito naapektuhan. Fortunately wala ring nasaktan. Pero naapektuhan ang supply ng kuryente at data communication sa vicinityng data center. Dahilan po para i-transfer ang Symbianize sa panibagong server sa ibang data center. Hindi po naging madali ang paglipat natin dahil na rin sa iba't ibang factors na nakadagdag sa delay. Isa dito ang holiday, January 3 (January 2 sa US) na nang masimulan ang procurement ng mga pyesa ng bagong server. Nagpatagal din po ang size ng data ng Symbianize (almost 1TB) na kailangang i-transfer remotely (peer-to-peer). May mga problema ding na-encounter sa bagong server kaya kinailangan pang i-troubleshoot ng ilang araw. Sa kasalukuyan may tests at adjustments pa pong ginagawa sa server kaya masasabi nating di pa 100% stable ang Symbianize. Posible pa rin na minsan di tayo makakonek ng maayos. 6 yrs na po ang Symbianize at ngayon lang nangyari ang aksidente na ito. Hinihiling namin ang inyong pasensya at pang-unawa, salamat po. 

 Symbianize is one of the best site ever made by Filipino. The said website is running for more than six years now and host to tons of information in almost all aspects of life.

Line: Free Call and Message using Android phone

If you are looking for an alternative to Viber, then Line is another option in making free calling and texting abroad using your Android phone. I thought you are already familiar with this app as it has plenty of commercial on local television in the Philippines.
