I was visiting the official website of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) when a page alerted me this:
PRC Official Website is an Attack Site
The site was listed by Google as suspicious because malicious software are being downloaded and installed without user consent.
Here’s what Google found out while browsing the PRC website:
Of the 109 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 6 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2009-08-24, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2009-08-06.
Malicious software includes 13 scripting exploit(s), 13 trojan(s), 13 exploit(s).
Malicious software is hosted on 5 domain(s), including car963.info/, gamemaill.com/, a0v.org/.
2 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including a0v.org/, f1y.in/.
This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS9658 (ETPI).
This leads us to conclusion that even official government sites can serve as computer threats and unsafe for browsing. If I am not mistaken a similar incident happened to the Securities and Exchange Commission official website some years ago.

The news was all over it this past few days. Every morning, most of the Filipinos anticipate for the winning numbers, especially those who placed their bets for the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office’s Superlotto 6/49 which has already reached over P300 M.
Yesterday, the long wait was over, and probably the end of the hope of some, as two lucky, or should I say luckiest winners split the over 300 million pesos jackpot prize of the PCSO’s Superlotto 6/49. Sources say that the two winners are both from Luzon, one from Caloocan City, who placed his bets at a PCSO Lotto Outlet in Pasig City, has already claimed his prize yesterday morning. The other winner has not yet claimed his split of the jackpot prize, and he or she is expected to come to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office today.
Hmm when can I also be that lucky to win on internet casinos?

Heating up the web today are the latest predictions of Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose (Jucelino Nobrega da Luz), among which is the high-magnitude earthquake which is said to hit the Philippines on July 18, 2008 (and that will be tomorrow, few minutes from now in fact!). This has caused the Filipinos to be anxious about the said high-intensity earthquake. The Philvolcs however denied of this predictions saying that there’s no science behind. I am not a believer of predictions but I hope the Philvolcs assurance was right.
Anyway, Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose is a Brazilian who has listed several of his predictions in his website. Most of his predictions has passed which included Princess Diana’s death by car accident, the 911 tragedy and the 2004 Indonesian tsunami. Accordingly, he sees the future in his dreams and has an average of 3 to 9 such predictions per day.
A list of his predictions are available here.

The 7 deadly sins has received a modern-day makeover! The Vatican has come up with a new list of 7 deadly sins (original 7 deadly sins were pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, and sloth).
According to the Vatican, you offend God not only by stealing, taking the Lord’s name in vain or coveting your neighbor’s wife, but also by wrecking the environment, carrying out morally debatable experiments that manipulate DNA or harm embryos.
The seven social sins are:
1. “Bioethical” violations such as birth control
2. “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty
The first two depicted well yet again another science and religion conflict.

Tomorrow (February 25) marks the 22nd year anniversary of EDSA revolution. It was one of the most historic events in the Philippines because democracy won over dictatorship. It showed the solidified unity of Filipinos to oust a greedy and corrupt leader. The Filipino nation rejoiced. We were freed! We should be happy, shouldn’t we? We were once dubbed as the second happiest people in Asia, after all.
Ironically, we can’t feel that so-called happiness right now. The current political crisis we are experiencing – the NBN controversy only proved the ongoing deception and corruption of our political leaders – is no reason to be happy.
In an article from The Philippine Daily Inquirer, analysts said that the Filipinos are still unhappy after 22 years since the fall of Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos no matter how the present administration is boasting about economic growth, which has improved the lives of many because of Pres. Arroyo’s policies. Read more…
