Boto Ko was featured in Youth for Truth, a youth-oriented program of the Presidential Communications Operations Office which airs on Radyo Pilipinas 738 AM and the Facebook Pages of PCOO, Youth for Truth, and National Youth Commission every Friday. Replays are aired Saturdays on IBC TV.

The interview was part of their election episode for May 6 and 7. Because of a breaking news, the episode did not air on May 6. It was aired live on May 07 on IBC and on their Facebook page.

Tigcal Apps and Projects in 2021

This year, I continued working on Tigcal Apps and Projects. Here are the features and updates (arranged alphabetically by app name):

Boto Ko

Boto Ko has been updated for the 2022 National and Local Elections. It also can now automatically update the list of candidates (for the national positions) as soon as they become available. The Clear and Save buttons have also been fixed at the bottom so users can easily use them without scrolling all the way down to all the input fields.



Boto Ko Website and Web App

Boto Ko now has a domain name and website: https://www.botoko.app. The website was also transformed into a web app so that users can use Boto Ko even if they are not using an Android device.

PHostpaid

PHostpaid 2.0, with Dark Theme support and more, has been released this year. I also converted everything from Java to 100% Kotlin, improved the app architecture, and refactored the code.



Pinoy Jokes

Minor updates to the Pinoy Jokes Android app have been released this year. I'm still working on the next big release for the app.



Sweldong Pinoy and Budget Pinoy

Sweldong Pinoy has been updated early in the year for the deferred PhilHealth contribution increase. They were then updated for the contribution increases for 2022.

Other apps

I also updated other apps like Thirteenth Month with small changes, mostly on design and performance.

Tigcal Apps and Projects in 2019

Tigcal Apps and Projects


The repository for Tigcal Apps has been open sourced on Github. Tigcal Apps has served as my sandbox project for learning and working on Material Design Components, AndroidX, Kotlin, Dark Theme, and more.



Sweldong Pinoy


There has been two major updates to Sweldong Pinoy this year. The SSS contribution was updated based from Republic Act No. 11199 (The Social Security Act of 2018). PhilHealth contribution was also updated based from the Universal Health Care Act (Republic Act No. 11223) and PhilHealth released Circular 2019-009. Other updates included design improvements and Dark Theme for the Android app.



Budget Pinoy


We have also released the new version of Budget Pinoy, which now has a web app at https://www.budgetpinoy.com other than the Android app.



Budget Pinoy is a tool for Filipinos in finding out how much their asking salary should be based on their budget. Users can input their budgets and specify if they are Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Annnually. These will be totalled and the app will show the user the asking rate they need to earn enough for their budget. The net pay and deductions are computed using Sweldong Pinoy.

Boto Ko


Boto Ko was also updated for the 2019 National and Local Elections in the Philippines. The candidates for senators and party list representatives have been added in a list so it will be easier to select. In the party-list selection, there is an additional button to view the party list's nominees.



Tigcal Samples, Tigcal Utils


I also added in my Tigcal Samples repository the Android projects I've worked with in the past few months and the Bill Calculator I removed from Tigcal Utils. A separate repository was also made for my Tigcal Utilities app.

2013 Personal Apps

2013 has been another busy year at work, in events, and in other activities. But I did find some time to work on a few personal apps.

Boto Ko Android App

I started working on Boto Ko in April for the 2013 National and Local Elections (May 13) and released another update for the 2013 Barangay Elections (October 28). With Boto Ko (Boto 'ko or My Vote in English), you can list the candidates you want to vote and update it anytime. Also, you can share your list anytime with ease via SMS, email, and many more. This removes the need to list it down on paper and erasing it or making a new list when you need to update it.

Sweldong Pinoy Firefox OS App

I applied in Mozilla's Firefox OS Phones for App Ports and received a Geeksphone Keon Firefox OS developer preview phone. I wasn't able to port my HTML5 app within 31 days but I was able to port Sweldong Pinoy before the year ends. It is now available in the Firefox Marketplace.

Apps Updates
  • Sweldong Pinoy Web App Redesign
    • Made the app responsive by using Twitter Bootstrap
    • Adding night differential and overtime pay computations
    • Updating computations based on new tables
    • Adding social media icons
    • Improving layout and design
  • Sweldong Pinoy Android App
    • Use of Action Bar Sherlock for action bars on devices whose OS version is lower than Android 3.0
    • Adding night differential and overtime pay computations
    • Updating computations based on new tables
    • Hiding the night differential and overtime input field and adding checkbox to show them
  • GDGPH Android App
    • Adding Posts and Events
    • Adding navigation drawer for posts, events, and chapters
    • Cleanup and removal of unused codes
  • Pinoy Jokes Android App
    • Use of Action Bar Sherlock for action bars on devices whose OS version is lower than Android 3.0
    • Adding tab for favorite jokes
    • Making the loading of favorites and jokes list faster
    • Bug fixes and optimization

Hopefully, I will have more time for apps development this 2014: for developing new apps and for updating my other apps.

Boto Ko Android App

Want to keep a note of the candidates you'll vote this May 13 for the 2013 National and Local Elections in the Philippines? Are you putting your list in paper and keeps erasing names on it as you change your preference? This Android app is for you! With Boto Ko (Boto 'ko or My Vote in English), you can list the candidates you want to vote and update the list anytime you want. Also, you can share your list anytime with ease via SMS, email and many more.

The list of candidates for senators and party-lists were taken from the COMELEC website. The names of the senators are based from the "NAMES TO APPEAR on the BALLOT" in the official list from the COMELEC website.

Disclaimer: This app was done independently by its developer. The color scheme used in the app does not represent any candidate or political party. The names in the screenshots on the Google Play page only show the first candidates in the list and does not mean they are the developer's preferred candidate. Also, this app will only record the candidates you selected in your device.

Download the app from Google Play now!
