Illegal BIP Charges in Chile

By Cristóbal Bofill (9th grade)

One of the most recent events in our country, Chile, is illegal publish transportation card charges.

It was found out that people were getting money into their BIP cards without actually paying money.

Pablo Pizarro was the person that did this, he created an app in Android were you could type an amount of money and the code of your BIP and it would credit the money onto the card.

The government reacted quickly to this problem and blocked nearly 20 thousand BIP cards, most of them being student cards for college students.

Even though this wasn’t an actual crime, the government is now declaring it an informatics crime and Pablo Pizarro is now a criminal being chased by the law.

“La Roja” have a bad match against Bolivia

by Juan Pablo Borgoño (9th grade)

This game ended in a draw 2-2. For Chile, Aranguiz and Vidal made the goals and for Bolivia’s goals, Carlos Saucedo. Chile in this match had many problems with the defense, because the 2 goals were defensive errors. In the middle they are very confused and very slow to attack the other team. In the front, they were very good, so fast, but as the other part of the team was playing so badly they had to defend much of what they had to do and it detracted from the attack and scoring the goals needed.

For that Alexis Sánchez, talked to the press and was very angry about the functioning of the team and that a player to give that deep pass was needed and so we can easily get the goal and this work, like Jorge Valdivia, Matías Fernández and David Pizarro, but these three players are no longer in the team.

The coach from Chile, Jorge Sampaoli, said Bolivia played very well, very fast, and they did not waste any scoring opportunity and in the work of Chile said “We lost many opportunities for goals, but we were very disorganized in the game and we couldn’t fix it, that’s why we have to prepare ourselves well for the 2015 American Cup.”
