MLA STANDARD: Due to low ratings: LP slate shows no originals
NOT one of the Liberal Party members made it to the Aquino administration's senatorial slate as a result of  their poor showing in the surveys, prompting the ruling party to adopt "outsiders" from other parties allied to it, an official said Sunday.

INQUIRER: The recently concluded Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Travel Mart held at the SMX convention center in Manila was reportedly snubbed by Chinese Travel Agents. The TTG travel paper reported that the China National Tourism Administration and Macau Government Tourist Office withdrew their participation. As if on cue, many Chinese sellers equally withdrew. TTG reported that only two sellers from China and four from Macau participated, down from 60 China and 25 Macau sellers in the previous Mart. Even next year's host, Chengdu, was conspicuously absent.

INQUIRER EDITORIAL: After all the brave talk about pursuing the agenda of reform or offering a genuine alternative, both parties are presenting lineups forged in the basest smithy of them all: political convenience. Perhaps the inclusion of former senator Jamby Madrigal in the LP slate and that of President Aquino's aunt, Margarita "Tingting" Conjangco, in the UNA lineup are generating the most outcry, but with a few exceptions, both sets of candidates are cast from the same old mold used in all previous nationwide elections. The diligent Filipino voter may well ask: Is there no one else?

ABS-CBN: Sereno fans flame on flag ceremony brouhaha - It seems the Supreme Court flag ceremony watching is far from over. On Friday, CJ Maria Lourdes Sereno ordered the issuance of a memo reminding each and every employee to attend the flag ceremonies, scheduled at 8:30 a.m. during Mondays, sources said. This, amid Sr Justice Antonio Capio's gentle reminder that people should not look too much at the absence or presence of members of the high court during flag ceremonies.

INQUIRER: Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno issued last Friday a memorandum reminding all employees at the Supreme Court to attend the flag-raising ceremony every Monday morning.

The warnings urged Westerners in Manila to be on alert amid fears they could get caught up in an attempted attack against Americans, following the US Embassy warning issued last Friday.

PHILSTAR: GMA, sons, 2 allies still 'pork-less' this year - Former Pres and now Pamp. Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, her two lawmaker sons, and two allies are still without pork barrel fund releases for this year. A DBM report shows that aside from Mrs. Arroyo, her two congressmen-sons, Diosdado or Dato of Camarines and Juan Miguel or Mikey of the party-list group And Galing Pinoy, remain "pork-less" along with Mitos Magsaysay of Zambales and Augusto Syjuco Jr. of Iloilo.

TRIBUNE: JING PARAS
That's the way the daang matuwid of BS Aquino goes. He doesn't care if a certain sector of the country suffers for lack of services, poverty alleviation and infrastructure that should have been funded by the PDAF of any congressman so long as BS is able to avenge any unpleasant statement made by his critics. He does not mind being called a bully and a dictator but what is important is vengeance. And this is what he calls political reality as told by the DBM secretary.

The camp of Pampanga Rep.

Danilo Suarez claimed that Arroyo's daughter Luli may run in her place if her health does not improve.

PHILSTAR: ERNIE MACEDA
Roxas admitted there was no improvement in the bilateral relations because both sides are saying "that's ours." So there hasn't been any change. Trillanes failed. Roxas failed. Del Rosario also has not been able to get China to seriously talk. Even Pres Aquino failed to get an audience with President Hu Jintao at Vladivostok. Deadlocked what else can the Philippine government do? It looks like it will take years to solve this problem. It is clear that we have to wait for the change of Chinese leadership next year. Maybe China is also going to wait for a new Philippine leadership in 2016.

PHILSTAR: Phl, China drop North Rail
Pamintuan said that even when he was head of North Rail, he had already been renegotiating with Chinese officials on  the restructuring of the project following delays even before he assumed the post. "It's a pity that everything was just suspended or scrapped later on just because some projects were done under the Arroyo administration," he said. Pamintuan stressed all his dealings as North Rail project chief were above board. "I am willing to face any probe," he said. 

PHILSTAR: Phl, China drop North Rail
- Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, the former pres of North Rail during the Arroyo administration, said the funds for the suspended railways project from Caloocan City to Clark never passed the hands of the Phil government. "The Chinese bank DIRECTLY PAID the Chinese contractor for the project," he said.

INQUIRER: DORONILA
This multilayered method of conducting delicate and sensitive negotiations over territorial claims and sovereignty has called into question the maturity of judgement and competence of the President, who is conceded to be the ultimate fountain of foreign policy, in giving directions on external affairs involving war or peace. The fact alone that the Pres has appointed Trillanes special envoy to China, without consulting his foreign affairs secretary, Albert del Rosario, a veteran diplomat who was once our ambassador to the US, compels inquiry into how and why a neophyte in the Senate and a failed coup maker (recall the infamous Oakwood mutiny) was picked to conduct negotiations with the Chinese.

Defense lawyer Paul Lentejas said Neri cannot be compelled to testify against Arroyo as his case is related with that of the latter.

Malacañang suffered its first setback in the Sereno-led SC after it reversed the Palace's decision in March last year dismissing a dep. ombudsman for allegedly mishandling policeman in the hostage-taking incident at the Luneta on Aug. 23, 2010, in which eight Hong Kong nationals were killed. The Office of the President erred when it ordered Emilio Gonzales III dismissed for gross neglect of duty and grave misconduct, the high court said in a decision written by Ass Justice Estela Perlas-Bernabe, one of President Benigno Aquino III's appointees in the bench led by CJ Maria Lourdes Sereno. 

PHILSTAR: SC reinstates sacked deputy ombudsman
In a decision released yesterday, all 14 SC justices UNANIMOUSLY RULED that the Office of the President was WRONG in ordering the dismissal of Gonzales based on the finding of gross neglect of duty and grave misconduct in office. "the OP's pronouncement of administrative accountability against petitioner and the imposition upon him of the corresponding penalty of dismissal must be REVERSED and set aside, as the findings of neglect of duty or misconduct in office do not amount to a betrayal of public trust," read the SC ruling.

There is nothing wrong with diplomatic secrecy. But the one kept in the dark should be the other side and not our side. What was wrong was that, to borrow what Edgar Show borrowed from Baruch Spinoza, you cross to the other side of the river to spy on what is there and not to tattle tale the weakness of our side. What was also wrong is that you never let another man do what you formally designated, and congress confirmed another one to do, not without first clearing it with him.

MLA STANDARD: EMIL JURADO - The entire world, not only China, must be laughing at us for this series of blunders. Imagine having somebody recruited by Chinese military intelligence as its deep penetration agent, and this is authorized by Malacañang. The public should demand answers, Who paid for those trips? The Palace, if it indeed authorized Trillanes' involvement, should provide records in line with the Palace's commitment to transparency and accountability.

MLA STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES
A diplomat, they say, speaks softly and carries a big stick. But if the diplomat refuses to shut up, perhaps it's time to use that big stick and hit him on the head with it. Aquino, who has relayed to Trillanes through his spokesmen that he should shut up already about China, must now be realizing why he should never have sent the senator on a mission to negotiate with the Chinese. The senator cannot even follow a direct order to stop talking. Some secret negotiator this guy turned out to be. Maybe Enrile should have just let him rot in jail, for all the good that Trillanes has been doing on the outside.

"This may be a ploy to discredit the old man, to weaken the anti-RH group in the Senate," Lipa, Batangas, Arch Ramon Arguelles said Friday. "The squabble might have been instigated to remove Enrile from his post [because he is] pro-life," 

ABS-CBN: Enrile listed several of Trillanes' alleged mistakes such as pushing for a bilateral approach in the talks with China as well as accusing Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario of treasonous acts. He called out the senator for his failure to ask the Senate leadership's permission to go to China, his failure to inform the Philippine Embassy in Beijing about his visit, and his failure to submit any written report about his meetings with China. "Every senator leaving the country, whether it is government-funded or privately funded, must seek the permission of the Senate president," he said.

BLOG: there is really so much hypocrisy going on. pag nagkakalat si abnoy the senators see no evil & hear no evil.

NABISTO ng US embassy sa manila na samantalang nagtatago sa PALDA ni hillary clinton si PNOY, nakikipag-honeymoon pala sa CHINA thru backdoor negotiation!! NANG-INTRIGA pa sa ASEAN na dapat daw samahan sya kontra "bullying" ng china pero NADIDIKTAHAN na pala tayo na WALANG tayong kaalam-alam nabisto lang sa SENADO!! pati sundalo natin sa AFP nagmumukhang TANGA!

BLOG: Ganoon na lang yan? Ang sagot ng Malacanang sa nabistong kapalpakan ni Ambassador Trillanes sa China ay just to stop giving interviews. Ganoon na lang ba yun? Eh kung totoo ang sinabi ni Enrile, is treason not a crime in this country? Will the people let Queen Noynoy and Ambassador Trillanes getaway with this amateurish adventure in Yellow diplomacy? Siguro kung si First Gentleman ang gumawa niyan o si Imelda tiyak kulungan na ang ibig ng mga maiingay na cause oriented groups at civil society diyan.

BLOG: Despite of the blunders of  this administration, don't be surprised that by next month when SWS would release their stupid monthly surveys, the President's rating remains high; What a big Joke! Pnoy's administration is the worst thing that ever happened in history of Philippine politics. Unfortunately we have wisom to rule this country; kung meron man siyang wisdom... wisdom teeth lang siguro. Para sa administration ni Pnoy "Insanity is the best Policy"!

BLOG: Ingat ang mga Pinoy dito sa hambog na Trillanes na eto. Sisirain nito kahit ang bansa kumita lang ng pera. Pera lang ang hanap nitong traydor na eto. Kahit noong nasa kulungan pa eto, malaki na ang kinikita nito. Kaya't mayaman na etong hambog na eto. At ngayon kasabwat na niya ang mga Intsik sa kanyang mga kalokohan.

ANC: enrile says trillanes may be evicted from senate electoral tribunal because the seat alloted to him belongs to the majority. enrile adds if trillanes is really serious about joining the minority then he should let go of his committee chairmanships.

REASON WHY PNOY AND TRILLANES CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER - THEY HAVE THE 2 WORST COMBINATION OF TRAITS: IGNORANCE AND ARROGANCE!!!

BLOG: It is an insult to the best student governments to be compared to the Mr. Bean administration of Noynoy. The Aquino government is a Keystone Kops operation -- full of fumbling and stupidity. Noynoy is so ill-suited to the presidency -- he has no vision, no executive expertise, common sense. A friend who has had dealings with him says he has Aspenger's Syndrome, a form of autism, which explains his Noynoying, odd facial expressions, lack of empathy, minimal eye contact, obsession with GMA. He is also a legend when it comes to laziness. He just got elected because his (stupid) mother died. 

BLOG: Nagpapaniwala kayo kayo dyan kay Trillanes. Nun oakwood kung magsalita yan, handa daw sya mamatay para sa bayan. Nun lumulusob na ang mga sundalo, tear gas pa lang sumuko na.

Last nights news disclosed that it was China who chose the Senator to be the backdoor negotiator and Penoy obligingly obeyed the same. Iisa lang ang maaring isipin dito na kaya nadidiktahan si Penoy ay nabili na ng China ang Pilipinas. Tanong: mayroon bang shadow government sa ngayon? Bakit nakipagusap si Penoy sa China na hindi ipinaalam sa kongreso o sa kinatawan ng DFA at pinagkasunduan na si Senador Arrogante ang gawing negotiator? Eto pa, si Rambotito nawala sa exsena, isang bagong hirang na kalihim ang ipinadala para pakiusapan na huwag ibulgar ng China ang naging usapan nila. Uncle Sam ano say mo? Baka nakalimutan mo na noong inimbitahan mo si Penoy sa inyo, pagbalik sa Pinas, kinabukasan, umalis milu para magreport sa amo sa China. Palitan mo na sinosoportahan mo, binibilog ka lang.

TRILLANES - DIFFERENT COLLARS, SAME DOG:
- a manila pen coup plotter, now a senate coup plotter.
- cowardly raised his arms after smelling gunpowder, now walked out hurriedly when confronted by a senior senator.
- a traitor posing as a patriot before, now a traitor posing as a negotiator.
- an advocate of AFP reforms in funds handling, now the biggest senate spender.

TRIBUNE: NINEZ Cacho Olivares
Trillanes, who has been making the media rounds to justify his actions on the clandestine meetings with the Chinese, yapping his mouth off and vowing to oust Enrile from the Senate presidency, he mentioned certain names of senators who he said are likey to support his coup against Enrile, such as the NP senators, naming Manny Villar, and the Cayetanos, as well as LP senators, such as Franklin Drilon, although they all denied having a hand in the coup plot of Trillanes, which senators dumping Trillanes while expressing, although chances are, they were in on the coup despite their denials.

TRIBUNE: NINEZ CACHO OLIVARES
But Trillanes isn't through yet. He wants to destroy Enrile by calling him a lackey of Gloria Arroyo and a bully, both of which are not likely to work with the public. What Trillanes has not gotten his noggin is that Gloria Arroyo is no longer a hate object in this senatorial campaign. She is as passe as Ferdinand Marcos, both of whom became hate objects by the opposition in their time, and used by opposition forces to generate protest votes that would benefit them.

TRIBUNE: Pnoy - "What I remember is that I was contacted by Senator Trillanes who was in China at that time. Trillanes said he was approached by these Chines officials on the possibility of his (Trillanes) becoming the backchannel negotiator." That was certainly one of the dumb decisions Noynoy has made as he made no counter checking, nor questioned the fact that it was the Chinese choosing who the Philippine backchannel should be. That alone should have raised suspicion.

PHILSTAR: GMA to undergo more intensive physical therapy
- Former Pres and now Pamp. Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has to undergo more intensive physical therapy as the muscles holding her cervical spine have atrophied and the pain in her neck has worsened. The 65-year-old Arroyo yesterday said in her Twitter account that she will have to undergo thrice a week physical therapy at the VMMC and would have to wear her neck brace for longer periods.

STANDARD: A lawyer filed charges of treason with the Ombudsman on Friday against President Aquino and Senator Antonio Trillanes for engaging in "backdoor negotiation." with China in the territorial dispute with the Philippines over the Panatag Shoal. Oliver Lozano said the secret negotiations conducted by Trillanes on the orders of Mr. Aquino prejudiced Philippine interests and were intended to benefit China in the dispute. "Surreptitiously negotiating with Chinese officials regarding the Philippines-China dispute in order to benefit China to the prejudice of the Philippines amounted to treason," Lozano said in his complaint.

INQUIRER: Sen Pres Juan Ponce Enrile denied Friday that CamSur Rep Luis Villafuerte was lobbying to push for a bill that would divide CamSur. "They weren't lobbying. They were just asking me if I could possibly exercise my leadership to finally bring this matter to a vote so that it can be disposed of. This issue will not be decided by the Senate, It will be decided by the people of Camarines Sur. There is a plebiscite," he said.

breaking news: PINURI pa ni pnoy si TRILLANES!! authorized daw at malaki daw nagawa ni Trillanes at patuloy syang magiging backdoor negotiator! nagmukhang EWAN at INILAGLAG sila enrile, sotto, erap, jinggoy, miriam at del rosario!!

Enrile said he was particularly outraged at the way Trillanes was addressing Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario during the Cabinet meeting. "In that Cabinet meeting, it was as if he was cursing at the secretary of foreign affairs," he said. "As if he was better than the secretary of foreign affairs."

BLOG: Malacanang should own up to its acts. If the President authorized Trillanes, so back up Trillanes. If Trillanes made a boo boo, take him out pronto and apologize for the mistake. The row in the Senate is directly related to the act of Malacanang and it should not distance itself to the resolution of the riff. It is appalling to see if the Palace projects a position of being neither here of there.

Trillanes: From coup plotter to backdoor negotiator By Jason Gutiierrez, Agence France-Presse
- The Philippines said Wednesday a politician who was once jailed for coup plotting had been in secret talks with China over a territorial row, as the tactic appeared to backfire amid bitter infighting. In a televised interview Monday, del Rosario said back-channel talks "were doing more harm than good", although he did not name Trillanes. Enrile, the third highest official in the country, said he backed del Rosario and accused Trillanes of undermining the Philippines' position with China. "This guy is a fraud," Enrile said. "He told the Chinese we cannot impose our coastal protection."  Trillanes walked out of the Senate, refusing to answer questions from Enrile.

Aksyontv: senate pres enrile said he will not back down in trillanes; says this is the first time to hear pampanga rep arroyo was interested in camarines sur bill; arroyo spokesman len horn denies arroyo pushing camsur bill; says its unfair for arroyo to be dragged into this; fmr pres estrada said trillanes head has gotten too big; sen jinggoy estrada said trillanes should reform himself.

INQUIRER: PLDT Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan called Trillanes a "liar" for insinuating that he has instigated the anti-China tirade to protect his business interest. "I can tell him this to his face 'you're a liar' "Pangilinan said in a phone call from Tokyo late Wednesday night. Pangilinan admitted that Trillanes came to see him asking him to ask Sec Albert del Rosario to tone down his rhetoric against China. "I told him I will tell him (Del Rosario) but he is only my friend and I cannot dictate on him what to do."

Statement Len Bautista-Horn
- We are deeply saddened that her name is being dragged again into another controversy and this time being wrongly used to sow disrespect to a venerable and independent institution like the Senate. As we all know, the former president's priority now is very much centered on her wellness and her health condition and utilize whatever strength is left in serving her district in pampanga. She chose to focus on her legislative work. She regrets that her name is being used to discredit and malign the name of a much respected official of the land like the Senate President.

INQUIRER: Enrile, Trillanes word war erupts in Senate over Scarborough Shoal negotiations

Trillanes: "Is the pressure coming from congressman Villafuerte who see often loitering about the senators' lounge, the Senate President's office and even possibly lobbying on [the bill] while we are in session?"

Enrile, who was presiding over the session, suspended the proceeding and took the floor to answer Trillanes allegations. But when Enrile started to expose the alleged real story behind Trillanes in the Scarborough negotiations, Trillanes refused to answer the Senate leader and walked out, prompting Enrile to call his colleague a "coward".

ANC: Enrile: trillanes is trying to gain public sympathy, thinking arroyo is such a pariah to the public. He's trying to connect arroyo cases to cover up for his blunder.

INQUIRER: Foreign Sec Albert del Rosario on Wednesday, issued a curt message, saying he would not dignify accusations by Trillanes. "The DFA executes the foreign policy of the President. We will not DIGNIFY those who are working to DIVIDE us, "Del Rosario said.

PHILSTAR: Enrile said Trillanes sowed confusion in the nat govt by "foisting falsehood," revealing a closed door Cabinet meeting over the issue. During the meeting Trillanes mentioned the possible invasion of Luzon, which Enrile branded as another fabrication by the former Navy officer. "I was there (during the meeting). This is a total falsehood... everyone was made to believe... this gentleman is foisting falsehood. I was there, (Pres. Aquino was in front of me, the Sec of Affairs who was being pilloried by this NOVATO of a person on foreign affairs, accusing him of not knowing his job," Enrile said.

PHILSTAR: ENRILE: "This is a senator of the Republic, calling our Secretary a treasonous person in a foreign land. He does not even know when treason arises. "Enrile also accused Trillanes of "protecting the Chinese" when the senator was asked by Aquino why the Chinese failed to make good on a deal that there should be simultaneous withdrawal of forces from the disputed seas. Enrile said Trillanes "quietly, secretly, clandestinely" met with the Chinese about the West Philippine Sea. "Trillanes wanted everything happening about the Spratlys to be made secret so that it will protect the interest of the Chinese," he said.

MANILA TIMES: - Enrile accused Trillanes of "meddling" in negotiations aimed at resolving the territorial dispute between the Philippines and China. "This is the first time in my whole career as a senator [when someone] accused me of railroading [and] pressuring people from the Senate," said Enrile. He said that Trillanes was sourgraping because he did not grant the latter's request to increase the budget of an oversight committee which he chairs. "I was the one who took you out of the rot when you were imprisoned in Camp Crame. I did not do this before, " Enrile told Trillanes.

Milagros Magsaysay of Zambales said that even the past administration before the tenure of Arroyo had carried out the same bridge program funded through Official Development Assistance (ODA). "It's unfair. They shouldn't shoot from the hips, "Suarez told reporters at a weekly news forum.

Lawmakers allied with  the administration on Wednesday questioned Pres Benigno Aquino III's style of leadership in creating a "shadow Cabinet" that reports directly to him but he keeps secret from the public. They demanded that the Pres explain to the public the role of his "dark knights". "PNoy's dark knights in the Cabinet can easily degenerate into an army of darkness if they are allowed to perform their secret deeds without being accountable to the people," Kabataan partylist Rep.

INQUIRER: A tempest is brewing in the country's diplomatic front with DFA Sec. Albert del Rosario saying his efforts to resolve the lingering standoff with China over disputed territories in the West Philippine Sea were being torpedoed by a backroom negotiator. In interviews conducted by the PDI Sen Antonio Trillanes IV emerged as the negotiator working independently for Pres Aquino in Beijing. "I think that while back channeling has its purpose, in our case it's doing more harm than good. It is important that we speak with one voice on  this matter," Del Rosario said.

People are already sick of investigations it is clear to a keen observer to ask this question is it really for good governance or just soil and destroy the dignity of good and innocent people and at the same process send the shameless laughing making huge deposits in the bank at the expense of the stupid and gullible people  kawawa talaga ang bayan natin.

Her silence also gave credence to the growing belief that those who wear yellow need not worry about a few broken laws.

What he should do is to explain things clarify them. Also, Puno has no reason to feel persecuted by media. As a public official, Puno has the obligation to explain his side.

PHILSTAR: ATTY. JOSE SISON - To show therefore that his fight against graft and corruption is not a sham, that he means business even if a KKK is involved, P-Noy should ask DOJ Sec. De Lima to conduct further probe on these anomalies. Ombudsman Carpio-Morales should also conduct an inquiry so that proper charges can be filed. BIR's Kim Henares can likewise look into the tax evasion angle. If not, there is really walang pagbabago, as critics claim.

DZMM: Iimbestigahan ng Senado ang PCSO dahil sa pagpasok umano sa isang kontrata na hindi sumalang sa public bidding para sa mga kagamitan sa lotto sa Luzon. Ayon kay Sen. Koko Pimentel, ipapatawag nila ang mga opisyal ng PCSO upang magpaliwanag sa isyu.

TRIBUNE: NINEZ CACHO OLIVARES
Noynoy was a senator once, and he certainly knows that, as a senator then opposing the Arroyo government, he was one with his group in demanding that Cabinet officials attend the probes being conducted against the then administration. If memory serves, it was Mar Roxas who challenged this executive privilege being invoked before the high court then. Yet today, as it is Noynoy and his aides who are in power and position, he too, refuses to have his executives come before the Senate for a hearing, which can only mean that Noynoy and his administration have a lot to hide from the public.

It was not just Aquino who came to the defense of Puno. Lacierda, Dep Dir. Gen Emelito Sarmiento, chief of the PNP bids awards committee (BAC), and Dep Spokesperson Abigail Valte all virtually cleared Puno of any wrongdoing.
