BUTUAN City––Re-electionist Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. and ViceMayor Lawrence Lemuel Fortun led local Liberal Party bets in formally filing on Friday their certificates of candidacy for the 2013 mid-term elections. Showing what political
analysts here said “strong unity and cohesiveness”, Amante, Fortun and company held a press conference at a local restaurant stressing a “renewed commitment to serve the people with sincerity and preserve the changes and gains earned by the community from good governance, accountability transparency and public
participation.” Following the press conference, Fortun, who is running for representative of the First District of Agusan del Norte walked with thousands of LP leaders and supporters to file his candidacy at the Commission on Election provincial office inside the capitol grounds a kilometer and a half away.
Amante, his vice-mayoral bet Councilor Angelo Calo and Sangguniang Panlungsod candidates went on foot to the City Comelec office half a kilometer from city hall to formally present their candidacies. They were met by a thunderous applause from barangay chairman and political supporters as they emerged from the
Comelec after the filing. The LP bets for the 10 SP seats include reelectionists Ramon Carampatana, Ryan Anthony Cu lima, Virgilio Ner y Jr., Jaime Cembrano, Jr. Ne w c om e r s are R e m a Erigbuagas-Burdeos, Rodrigo Dayaday, Ferdinand Nalcot, Gerr y Campos, Sammy Amante and Edward Yu Chan.
Based on Section 3(c) of the Cybercrime law, communication covered by the law refers to the transmission of information through ICT media, including voice, video, and other forms of data, said Partylist Rep. Teddy Casiño in a press statement. Casiño pointed out that Section 3(d) meanwhile defines computers and computer system covered by the law as “any type of computer device including devices with data processing capabilities like mobile phones, smart phones, computer networks and other devices connected to the Internet.” He said Section 6 further broadens the laws coverage to include “all crimes defined and penalized by the Revised Penal Code, as amended, and special laws, if committed by, through and with the use of information and communications technologies...” “This practically means that communications and data on any type of phone or ICT device are covered by this very repressive law,” said the lawmaker. “This means if I text my LAW | page 9
