Technology has made our world a lot smaller. When broadcast and Internet media was not yet available, an individual can only communicate with a handful of people. It's even more difficult for a person to talk to politicians and movie stars. With the advent of SMS and various social network sites, the impossible has become a reality.
The Philippine Senate has been described countless of times as an exclusive club. With only 24 members in the Upper Chamber, that's about a microscopic portion of the Philippine populace. Senators are a busy lot (well - those work are busy) which makes it difficult for people to communicate with them. But technology can answer some of these problems. Tomorrow, Senator Francis Escudero will launch the following:1. Text Chiz: where you can send SMS (a portion of the proceeds would go to charitable institutions)2. Chiz Chatroom: well, it's a chatroom3. Websites for Senate Committee on Ways and Means and Senate Committee on Justice and Human RightsAt 2:00pm Chiz will be available in the chatroom, so REGISTER and ask him pertinent questions (his stand on a Noli De Castro presidency) or really trivial inquiries (his favorite local TV show - I have a feeling its PBB).Chatroom Instructions A.
