What good are all those credit rating upgrades, after all, if no investors come because of the difficulty of negotiating with this administration? Even if all the international ratings agencies say that the Phils is a good place to invest in, the experience of the emir of Qatar - and dissenting opinions like recent WB report on how difficult it is to do business in this country - will always give investors pause. Ratings agencies, after all, do not bring in the money that generates jobs, taxes and economic grown.

PHILSTAR: Sandiganbayan grants GMA plea to visit parents' graves

INQUIRER: Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Monday refused to enter a plea on charges of plunder before the Sandiganbayan First Division. Due to her refusal, following the Rules of Court, the Sandiganbayan First Division entered a not guilty plea on her behalf.

Atty. Raul Lambino legal spokesman of former PGMA echoed the statement of Atty. Bocar of Sandiganbayan that "CGMA should not be handcuffed when she is arraigned this morning." Lambino assailed the plan of Malacanang and the PNP to handcuff the former President by putting her in public shame and portraying her to be guilty.

Why is there a plan to expand the area or territory of the Bangsamoro state to other provinces which includes Zamboanga and Palawan.

MLA STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES
AO 31: The taxpayers who will soon be charged more for everything they need from government, from birth certificates to passports to drivers' licenses and vehicle registration, permits and documents and services that are already not worth the money that is paid for them at current rates.

FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FOR PH DISMEMBERMENT
the term "asymmetric relations" does not just "imply" states, it ASSUMES the existence of states. Thus, Bangsamoro is not under the Philippine government; its relationship with it is just "asymmetric." Mr. Aquino's capitulation to the MILF lies in the fact that he got no concessions from the insurgent group in terms of the most important aspect of real peace pacts: disarmament. In all past peace accords in the world, there were categorical provisions for the insurgent group to lay down its arms.

Oliver Lozano, President of The Lawyer's League for a Better Philippines: Although there is warrant of arrest based on probable cause, the lawyer for former President Arroyo can file a petition for bail  based on insufficiency of evidence. It cannot be said that the case is without political colour because of the so many (previous) cases filed against her by a President (Aquino) who is considered an arch-enemy. For example, in the first case filed against her, that caused her arrest and detention, the 'election sabotage' case. At first she was arrested, she was not allowed to bail, but later on, the Court on a petition for bail, for that the evidence was not strong, and so she was allowed to bail.

The MILF, he said, is "so unpopular in Mindanao."

Palatino said. "Let us call a spade, a spade."

INQUIRER: DORONILA - 'Daang matuwid' strategy scrutinized
A paper presented by Desiree Desierto, an assistant prof. of  the UP's School of Economics, demonstrated that the straight path is not always the shortest route to economic growth and sustained economic development. She argued the "focusing solely on anti corruption for its own sake may also undermine lasting institutional reform, if property rights, credibility and stability are weakened in the course of enforcing against anomalous transactions. What may be an optimal strategy is to treat anti corruption as part of a larger framework of building trust in society.

TRIBUNE: GLORIA IN ICU; TEST CONFIRM SHE IS AT RISK OF HEART ATTACK
Complaining of chest pains, Mrs. Arroyo was subjected to various tests, the results of which indicated that she is suffering from coronary ischemia which doctors say might lead to a heart attack. VMMC Dir Nona Legaspi explained that ischemia is a condition where not enough blood is circulating in the coronary arteries due to blockage. "Ischemia is the lack of blood going to the heart. For it (the heart) to pump, it needs blood. So when you say ischemia, there is blood vessel that is somehow blocked," Legaspi said. "That is something ominous which you just cannot forego."

Former Pres and now Pamp Rep. Gloria M. Arroyo was diagnosed with coronary ischemia, a heart ailment, on Friday, prompting the doctors at the VMMC to move her to the ICU.

CGMA ISSUE AND THE OMBUDSMAN-it is not about the merits of the case as nothing else will matter. it is MORE on the type of case that has to be filed against the former president. even if she's accused of jaywalking, the case has to be UPGRADED TO PLUNDER (no matter what) or any non-bailable offense, so a WARRANT of ARREST can be issued and keep her under detention. it is not about whether she's guilty or not. it is about exacting vengeance and the independent institutions, as we can see, are only too happy to follow the dictates of an all too powerful president.

Tiangco said the privilege of using the basement parking, which is exclusive for Sandiganbayan justices, is not even accorded to former presidents and other ranking government officials.
