TXTPower has been fighting for consumer and political rights since 2001, and almost six years later, we are on the verge of having one of us in Congress. No, we are not running for partylist representative; TXTPower is strongly endorsing Kabataan Partylist.

We endorse Kabataan Partylist today May 10, 2007 (three years after the fraudulent elections) if only to stress that we do not want the Hello Garci election cheating scandal to be repeated. Cheating most probably cheat Kabataan Partylist of its probable hard-earned victory.

Why Kabataan Partylist?

Kabataan Partylist is the genuine youth partylist — formed by real student and youth groups, and led by authentic young Pinoy leaders. Its platform is pro-youth and pro-people.

Consumer advocacy and mobile activist organization TXTPower today openly endorsed Kabataan Partylist even as it warned against a repeat of the Hello Garci scandal in Monday’s elections.

Today is the third anniversary of the May 10, 2004 elections which were marred by the Hello Garci scandal which exploded following the discovery of an audiotaped cellphone conversation between President Arroyo and Commission on Elections Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano.

To mark the occasion, TXTPower today relaunched its website as a portal and team blog. Reposted on the site were the original Hello Garci ringtone and a YouTube video based on it.

The Hello Garci ringtone became the most popular political ringtone in 2005.

Kabataan Partylist is 100-percent behind TXTPower in batting for lower prices and better services, in battling abusive big companies, in demanding an end to government neglect of consumer welfare. Kabataan Partylist vows to be the champion and voice of Pinoy texters and telecommunication consumers inside Congress.” Continue reading
