Tulad ng perennial win sa Miss Photogenic online voting sa Miss Universe, ayan, nanalo na naman tayo sa CNN online voting ng Best Asia Pacific Film of all time. Sabi nga ni Ate Guy, “Walang Himalaaa!” Pero para sa mga Pinoy, meron namang internet — kaya wagi!

“Himala,” the late Ishmael Bernal’s masterpiece that starred Nora Aunor was announced as the best film in the region on Tuesday (US time) during the 2008 Asia Pacific Screen Awards held in Australia’s Gold Coast. An early favorite in the online voting, Himala bested tough competitors, namely Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from China; The Seven Samurai from Japan; Gabbeh from Iran; Gallipoli from Australia; Pather Panchali from India; Spirited Away from Japan; Oldboy from South Korea; Infernal Affairs from Hong Kong/China; and Chungking Express from China. As early as September, CNN said the film received “an avalanche of raving positivity” from thousands of online voters all over the globe. [Source]

I have been a PLDT DSL subscriber for more than 2 years, in fact I am posting on this blog using their service. I can tell you that I am not a fan of their technical support. Their service goes down every now and then, which is normal for any service provider. What I gripe about is how the PLDT treats its customers. I believe it is caused by a lack of quality standards in customer care, both process-wise and people-wise. Now this case of Raul Bacaldo is the ultimate. PLDT should take their tech support very seriously. In the audio player included here, you can listen to the recording (5 minutes 43 seconds long) of this explosive tech support conversation.
