This was the second major oil disaster that I know of that a single oil company is responsible for.

The first one is the Texas City refinery explosion that I was informed of by watching National Geographic Channel.

It’s a must watch for every executives out there!

I love reading manuals and online tutorials… or maybe that’s just part of my job.. anyway, people sometimes get lost in translation.

I don’t thing there is a word like that. Even Google can’t define it. And a blog even says it’s not a word.

I guess that lacked mEDITATION when they made the documentation..

Or maybe EDIT + DOCUMENTATION = EDITATION.. amp!

What ever that is, it isn’t on my dictionary, and neither should yours be.

I guess it’s better than EDITATING… lol!

After Villar wins the Google Trends search query, this time how many results do you think your candidate have?

We’re all here for the results right?I used 3 test for this.

1. Google home page type-in suggestions results
2. Specific matching  key word search — where you put double quotes on the keywords to search the documents with specifically matching words: both words has to appear side-by-side
3. Normal key word search — where a word can be inside the document with another word but both words may or may not be side-by-side

This time all of the candidates are included in the results:

• Vetellano “Dodong” Acosta
• Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino, III
• John Carlos “JC” de los Reyes
• Joseph “Erap” Estrada Ejercito
• Richard “Dick” Gordon
• Maria Ana Consuelo “Jamby” Madrigal
• Jesus Nicanor “Nicky” Perlas
• Gilberto Eduardo Gerardo “Gibo” Teodoro
• Eduardo “Eddie” Villanueva
• Manuel “Manny” Villar, Jr.

If you’re wondering where I got their full names.. just go to Wikipedia… Dodong? COMELEC!!

TEST 1: Google homepage type-in suggestions

Winner: ERAP!

Notes:

• The query is where I type each letter one by one until the candidates appear.
• Cannot use ‘richard gordon‘ because it is will show results that includes another author, a US senator, among others…
• JC de los Reyes could share his query with other people, it’s a generic name after all.
• Blank means Google did not give any suggestions.
• The results are automated and does not reflect the opinion of the author and/nor Google.

TEST2: Specific match keyword search

Winner: NOYNOY!!

Notes:

• This is an advanced query where in “erap estrada” will not show a result where a document contains Joseph Erap Ejercito Estrada because erap is not beside estrada but will show Joseph Erap Estrada Ejercito.
• This shows restuls of erap with estrada than “joseph estrada“.
• This also shows that you have to have a unique side-by-side name combination.. noynoy with aquino, manny with villar to show more results.

TEST3: Generic Google search: without double quotes

Winner: ERAP!!!

OVERALL WINNER: ERAP!!!!

This shows that many people generate content with Erap Estrada as a topic. Even though Manny Villar was the winner in Google Trends he didn’t have enough content recently to generate results. But that may change…

I really don’t want to talk about politics as much as possible but when technology is involved, it’s a different story.

Most people don’t know this Google service. It’s called Google Trends. It graphs the number of search queries of a particular set of keywords in a given amount of time.

I used the following keywords taken from the top 5 Presidential candidates taken from the PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE FOR THE 2010 ELECTIONS, PHILIPPINES survey in the NICKNAME SURNAME format. Of course, searching for ‘villar’ only or ‘aquino’ only will add irrelevant results as ‘villar’ is a Spanish term used across the globe and there are many ‘aquino’: kris, cory, and ninoy.

• noynoy aquino
• manny villar
• erap estrada
• gibo teodoro
• eddie villanueva

And VILLAR leads!! (data taken February 3, 2010 2AM PHT)

The data is taken from the last 12 months of Google searches in the Philippines for the keywords above.

The search query spiked at the time where Villar (as you all know) released his ‘Si Villar ang tunay na mahirap’ jingle. (more on this later)

Aquino still dominates the News on average. (see the lower section of the image)

Estrada and Villanueva does not have enough search volume for ranking for the Philippines for the past 12 months.

Going internationally we can see that Villar still leads and the other pick up. But Estrada still lags behind search volume for the past 12 months.

Although we can see a little rise in Estrada’s query at the beginning of the month, it was not enough for ranking.

We can also see that Teodoro did not take enough traffic despite Ondoy (September). It was just mid-November that he gained traffic. It is when Arroyo endorses Teodorodo’s presidential bid.

Looking back in time and seeing the bigger picture. International, all year search.

We can see a huge spike on Estrada’s search on 2007. That is actually when Estrada was on trial.

Villar also spikes from time to time starting 2008 (Manny Villar Cup) [some sort of tournament], early 2009 (“early” presidential campaign), then the rest is history (C5 extension).

On the Philippines we can also see the same.

Aquino didn’t racked enough traffic for himself on Google maybe because there isn’t too much controversy about him.. Although he racks up news article than search queries..

One thing’s for sure. Villar’s popularity in Google (in my opinion) is not because of his achievements, not because of his scandals.. but because people makes fun of him and his gimmicks.

Chipmunks version of Villar’s jingle.

And even a Villar jingle inspired song that talks about the use of a 3rd party program in Ragnarok.

A comment on the chipmunks version said “sana po pag po kayo nanalo sana po dahan dahan lng po sa pag bawi sa laki ng gastos nyo sa commercial nyo salamat po..sana huag? lahat ubusin yun pera ng mahal kong bayan.” (if you win, I hope you would take the huge amount that you spent for your commercials slowly.. i hope you don’t take all of the country’s riches.)

I do hope this 2010 elections (and succeeding elections) turn out to be well. I really hate the Philippines especially when election season comes.. Makes me want to leave the country every 6 years… T_T
