TRACE

Situation 1.

    You just won the governorship position in the May 10 election.  A person who claims to have supported you comes asking you to return the favor.  He files his application for a position at the provincial capitol.  He says that because of his help, you won by a big margin in his precinct.  You want to test the veracity of his claim.  And you want it done fast
within minutes so that he does not suspect that you doubt him.  Here’s what you should do:

1. Tell your secretary to get the following circumstances from him:

•    First Name
•    Middle Name (full middle name, not initials)
•    Surname
•    Month of Birth
•    Date of Birth
•    Year of Birth

2. Access the COMELEC website in the internet (www.comelec.gov.ph)
•    After accessing, scroll down a bit and click on the icon “Precinct Finder”
•    The Precinct Finder icon will open a window.  Type the information you got from him on the respective places provided.  Once completed, type ENTER
•    A new window will open and you will find the precinct number of the person whose name you encoded.  Copy the precinct number.

3.  Go to another site showing the election results
•    On the main index, you can find all the regions listed on the left-most column.  Click on the region desired.  If you are from Iloilo, click on Region 6
•    Once the provinces of Region 6 appear, click on the desired province.
•    Click on the desired municipality.  On the left-most column are shown all the clustered precincts.  All the precinct numbers are indicated therein.
•    Click on the precinct number.  If you are an intelligent secretary, you will know what to do next.

This entire exercise could be done in less than 3 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection.  It may take some practice for one to be proficient.  But believe me, the efforts will pay off.  And what the COMELEC published are the entire results of the 2010 elections.  One more thing, we know that some managers (and even government executives) campaigned for their favorite Partylist.  By tracing the individual precincts of your employees, you will eventually know who of them never voted for your Partylist.   Ha! The COMELEC said that who you voted for will be known only to you.  But please remember that your Boss knows your complete name and date of birth.  He knows your precinct number.  Te?
