Marlowe visited Tacurong city last March 28, 2010 to orient members of the Jesus Is Lord (JIL) church about election automation. The afternoon orientation was the result of an endeavor of Bernard Haw to brief, orient and make the members of the JIL and the Bangon Pilipinas movement aware of the new technology specifically the Precinct Count Optical Scanner (PCOS) and the scenario for the May 2010 election. The orientation took two (2) hours in which after the video and PowerPoint presentations, an open forum was held.
