What is this all about? Are you aware of ABS-CBN's Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo: Ako ang Simula? What is this thing for? What is its idea?

According to ABS-CBN News, "The idea for Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo was simple: get the people to care and to take action. It’s people power with new technology! If you see something wrong or something good, tell us about it. If you see someone trying to buy the votes, snap a picture on your cellphone and send it to us. If you see a town mayor using public vehicles for his campaign, shoot video with your cellphone and send it to us. If you see violence, tell us about it, and after a verification process, we will put it to air. Two months into the 4-month campaign, we received reports from the provinces that Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo helped level the playing field where incumbents were running after we ran a story with the cellphone picture of city resources used for campaigns. So cellphones became effective weapons!"

Yes, ABS-CBN's Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo 2010: Ako ang Simula is an action to serve and protect the Filipinos in the upcoming 2010 presidential election.
