"Ako Mismo" Campaign

oh ok.. i saw this commercial during the the long telecast of Pacquaio - Hatton Fight on TFC.. I was wondering about it, on "Ako Mismo" Campaign is what for? what the hek right? im definitely curious about it..

so eto na nga, simula nang lumabas ung ads na un.. i was wondering kung bkt ito nilabas? para ba sa kanilang sales? or personal use lng ba? and ang bottom line e.. Smart/PLDT Telecommunication is willing to pay big amount for their loyal users? well ang malala pa niyan e, nasa primetime pa siya, kung saan napakamahal ang binabayad dito..

about their site.. thats ( http://www.akomismo.org/ ) , The concept was nice.. First there's this intro, flash version of the tvc then a small fill in the blank box appear ( Ako Mismo __________ )
I even think very hard on what will I write .. bla bla bla.. and then click ok.. after a moment.. theres another page full of "you need to fill boxes" almost all of them are personal information questions like, age, zip code , adress, birthday and even your own cellphone number, theres also you need to accept the conditions and the agreement then click submit.. after all those stuffs.. you are required to fill ALL OF THOSE BOXES, so I pause for a minute. and check the privacy policy.

Ang nakakatawa lang dito e, bakit sinasabi nila na all informations are secure. pero they are not liable if the information were leaked.. WTH what the heck right? XD This thing was scared most of the people a lot..
The main conclusion of this campaign, Lots of people believe that this campaign has a potential.. but w/o a proper information to educate people.. It has no real plan or motives.. this is just like a scam of information.
And those information / database will be used to sell to a potential client
potential client = future politicians.. (You know na^^)
