Note: During the Philippine Youth Congress in Information Technology '07 held September 12 - 14, 2007 at SM City North Edsa (See http://raffysaldana.blogspot.com/2007/09/y4it-2007-philippine-youth-for.html), I met Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan, the Philippine Senate Majority Floor Leader. I gave the Opening Remarks on September 14, and Senator Kiko was one of the speakers after my talk. We had a brief chat during the break and I asked him about the status of the automation of the Philippine elections (Note: I was a member of the Senate Technical Working Group that pushed for the automation of the Philippine elections). Senator Kiko told me that he supports the automation.

It is a personal privilege to have been part of the UP Information Technology Training Center's Y4IT Congress for years now. We beleive that young Filipinos, armed with the amazing power of technology, are in the frontline of national transformation. We thus support the UPITTC in its thrust of bringinging together th Philippine youth's finest and equipping them with necessary information and skills that will allow them to harness their full potentials.
I continue to challenge our young people to dedicate their talents and know-how in information technology in addressing the pressing concerns of our citizenry. Offer yourselves to the greater cause of national service and progress!
Mabuhay kayo!
KIKO PANGILINAN
