In my quest to look for a way to make complex timelines for a project I'm working on (on the model of this image), I found some apps/links that might be useful for those doing historical, project, data visualization, etc. work and need open-source (or free) tools. A rhread. Image
First, thank goodness for people who collate and share tools and information, such as this wonderful example. shsulibraryguides.org/digitalhistory…
From her entry in particular (because of my #PhilippineDiaryProject) this one looks promising, online OCR suited for old publications: github.com/OCR4all

For me, it’s simple: #LetLenLead2022 heto ang iilan sa mga dahilan… (thread)
Ang darating na halalan ay hindi tungkol sa nakaraan kundi ang ating kinabukasan. Bilang VP napatunayan ni Leni na handa siyang magsilbe at tumulong: siya ang sinasaway at pinapalayas ng mga kinaukulan. Pero di siya naging bitter o nagbitaw ng sama ng loob. Kaya kaya niyang
makipagtrabaho sa mga sinserong tao anuman ang kanilang hanay o partido. Sa tutoo lang, iisa lang ang trabaho ng bise presidente ayon sa ating saligang batas: maghanda na magsilbe bilang pangulo kung mamatay o tanggalin ang nakaupong pangulo. Nasa pangulo kung bibigyan ang bise

The Senate originally was designed to be a continuing institution even as prexy and House terms expired; but making 1/2 of senate up for election instead of 1/3 as was case prior to martial law, destroyed that. Because more past losers wanted a chance to be winners.
That is why before martial law the midterms were so important when presidents and congressmen both had 4-year terms while senators had 6 year terms; 8 senators would be up for election in s presidents midterm deciding balance in the senate. An interesting note that points to the
Well-thought-out design of of the past is that even today surveys have found that the average number of senatorial candidates people remember is 8: pointing to the human suitability of the old number up for election each time. But this was changed in 1987 to give more people a

@PinoyAkoBlog Tama ka. Sa tingin ko ganito eh. Binubuhos ng mga volunteers ang kanilang panahon, pagod, pera, emosyon, pananampalataya, sa mahirap pero kailangan na kampanyang tao-sa-tao; kumbaga, retail, one-on-one. Kung may macoconvince, powerful ang conversion na yun. Pero kailangan din may
@PinoyAkoBlog kasabay na kampanya sa airwaves, yung wholesale kumbaga, dahil malawak ang disinformation, at dahil kaunti lang tayo (sa ngayon) mabagal ang one-on-one; kailangan ipaabot, at ipakilala, si Leni sa madla. Wala pa ring tatalong paraan kundi commercials. Pero, kung titingnan natin
@PinoyAkoBlog very disappointing ang mga commercial mula nung filing of candidacy. "Let Leni Lead" ang nagbuo at nagdulot ng pink movement; pero after that, parang naging malabnaw o malabo ano ba ang gustong sabihin ng ads. Unfair ito sa mga volunteers dahil kung kailan bakbakan na ng husto,

A thread of photos, just so you get to know them a little more as real people. Josefa Llanes Escoda, Vicente Lim, and Jose Abad Santos.
Josefa Llanes Escoda's personality shines through even in black and white photos; her being suffragette, and organizer for women's groups and the Girl Scouts points to her being a charismatic leader. She's in the terno with the sunburst pattern.
One can't help but be amazed with the wide range of causes Josefa Llanes Escoda was remarkable in, from the campaign to secure women the vote, to founding the Girl Scouts, to working for poor children as in this Tondo event in 1938. She's left most in the 1st photo.

This is the big bonanza that makes everything worthwhile for supporting the president: the transformation of telecoms from a public utility to something else: allowing foreign ownership but giving Congress the delightful duty of approving franchises for operations to be allowed.
I've been following this story, literally, for years, in the context of China Telecoms and its bid to be the Third Player. 11/22/2017, 2/14/2018, 7/17/2019 just for the saga of Uy.
Two follow-ups after the Uy matter was (temporarily, it now seems) settled: 4/14/2021 and 7/28/2021
