I'm just curious, who is this alleged PLUG director? I don't remember
the board members introducing ourselves as directors...


"Director" was my term. I thought Dong Calma was a member of your board of directors. If not, my mistake...

something like a NAMFREL look-alike, or is your organization a
for-profit entity?


Yes, HALAL is non-profit, non-partisan. We are different from NAMFREL. Our aim is less of a "quick count" and more of a "citizens' tally". We aim to be much more transparent than NAMFREL, by releasing precinct-level data to anyone who cares to download them by text or the Internet. By being transparent at the precinct-level, we enable ordinary citizens to audit the database because they can compare our data with what they saw with their own eyes during the precinct canvassing.

If you want my detailed critique of the NAMFREL 2004 tally, kindly google "NAMFREL Verzola".

Regards to all,

Obet
