How did Botong Pinoy come to be?
Botong Pinoy is a brainchild of our chairman, Raffy Garcia. With the 2001 Congressional Election, Mega Data Corporation teamed up with Polistrat International and National Press Club (NPC) to computerize the election returns. Due to lack of manpower, the computerization was implemented only in the 1st district of Makati. With that experience, Mr. Garcia decided Mega Data could expand computerization not only in the tabulation level but also electoral system as a whole.
