Some people apparently belonging to a certain political interest group in Marinduque are seemingly suddenly obsessed with, at the present time, getting rid of this blogsite. Evidenced by what appears to be identical spams these are apparent fresh attempts to bully this site after past phishing episodes on this blog immediately following an election here, one that saw some leadership changes, pointing now towards a clear sign to restrict the blog sites of those perceived to be not aligned with whosoever is leaning towards increasing authoritarianism.
The chief grumble repeated by said political interest group is not about the contents of this blog, they so themselves claim, but about the fact that this blogger is not connected with government, therefore cannot append gov in his blog address and must change it.
Non-government and personal websites that use the three-letter word, ‘gov’, abound in the Internet. Samples of such websites to name a few are: whorunsgov.com, yougov.com, thegov.com, puppetgov.com, etc.
For emphasis, one may cite the more definitive ‘govcom.org’, a non-government conceptual URL that indicates three ‘major actor groups’ involved in debates on social issues:
.gov's, .com's and .org's.
Other similar websites range anywhere from hip-hop to good governance.
Good governance in Marinduque province, is a subject dealt with by this blog alongside the promotion of culture, arts and local tourism, historical awareness, news and local socio-political issues in the locality.
The claim that the word ‘gov’ or ‘government’ cannot be used in web addresses by web-users not in government is a fallacy and does not appear in any legal statutes - after all, democratic governments are “for the people, by the people, of the people”.
Other relevant sites in the Internet are: governmentnames.blogspot.com, commonsensegovernment.com, makingbettergovernment.com, workingwithgovernment.com, smartergovernment.com, businessofgovernment.com, fearthegovernment.com etc.
Government Portals
Internet users are well aware that government portals in the Internet such as
www.gov.ph (for Philippines),
www.gov.sg (Singapore),
www.gov.au (Australia), etc. plainly use:
‘name-of-office dot gov dot ph’ for use by government entities as their official sites and always
declare the same to be official sites.
Personal Blog
This is a personal blog by this blogger hosted by Blogger.com. One must note that changing to a new blogspot address will delete all the backlinks and traffic sources for that same blog. When this happens, Internet users will certainly run into a page that states: ‘Not Found’. One cannot fall into this clever trap this blog is being pushed to take in the guise of ‘confusion’.
It is, likewise, a fact that if a Blogger URL is changed, the same URL becomes immediately available to just anyone else in the worldwide web. Just anyone else.
This blog site, for the last two years, has been positively favored with quality backlinks by various Internet organizations and users that bloggers then, when this occurs, are compelled to protect from censorship in any form. Believing also that they humbly contribute to world knowledge, this is naturally undertaken with serious dedication to the spirit of
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The existence of deep political divides in the province of Marinduque is well-known to local and national newspapers, the subject of church sermons, facebook group discussions and one that has become well-entrenched in the public mind. In the final analysis, this is what the fuss is really all about.
