Hindi kayang pagalitan, sermonan, kalampagin ng mga opisyal ng DPWH ang contractor ng highway sa Nueva Ecija at maging sa Nueva Vizcaya dahil napakabagal ang kanilang gawa kaya't tinatawagan si Dir.

PHILSTAR: No apology from SC over TRO booboo Lawyer Ma. Victoria Gleoresty Guerra, acting chief of the SC public information office, blamed the gaffe on supposed "miswording" in the TRO issued by the SC Third Division in favor of Arroyo's co-accused, former Commission on Audit Intelligence Fund Unit head Nilda Plaras. Guerra was referring to the phrase "among others" that was attached to the name of Plaras in the SC resolution, which she interpreted as applicable also to Arroyo.

Manalo - A survey conducted by an independent polling firm revealed that majority of the Filipinos believed that the cases filed by against former Pres., now Pamp Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, including the plunder case in connection with the alleged misuse of the intelligence fund of the PCSO, are all politically motivated.
WOW!!! IBA NA ANG ABOVE DI-LAW
MLA STANDARD: Elections Commissioner Grace Padaca and Rodolfo "Jun" Lozada pleaded not guilty to separate corruption charges that were filed against them before the Sandiganbayan, but the two were allowed to travel abroad after posting separate travel bonds.
MLA STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES
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
- The Sandiganbayan yesterday granted the request of former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to visit her parents' graves on All Saints' Day tomorrow. The former president filed a motion before the court, saying she wants to pay her respects to her deceased parents, former President Diosdado Macapagal and Evangelina Macapagal. Arroyo said since she has not been convicted of any crime, she is "presumed to be innocent even in respect of the present offense charged against her before this Honorable Court."

Similarly, it says that the "Bangsamoro shall have a just and equitable share in the revenues generated through the exploration, development or utilization of natural resources obtaining in all the areas/territories, land or water, covered by and within the jurisdiction of the Bangsamoro, in accordance with the formula agreed upon by  the Parties." This seems to mean that Congress, in the formulation of the Basic Law, must accept any agreement of the parties. This seems to make Congress a rubber stamp for whatever the agreements wants.
INQUIRER: FR. JOAQUIN BERNAS
In framing the Bangsamoro Basic Law, the main guide should be the Constitution. This is not clearly reflected in the framework. The framework says that the "provisions of the Bangsamoro Basic Law shall be consistent with all agreements of the Parties."
TRIBUNE: JING PARAS
Why is there a plan to expand the area or territory of the Bangsamoro state to other provinces which includes Zamboanga and Palawan. These are largely Christians communities and making them part of the Bangsamoro government will likely create another conflict as the Christians will not likely allow to be governed by Muslims. Again these problems are very serious that making it appear that peace is ta hand again giving false hope to our people.

TRIBUNE: The First Division of the Sandiganbayan yesterday ordered the Ombudsman to present its witnesses and pieces of evidence for the anti-graft court to determine if there is justifiable cause to detain former Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) board member Manuel "Manoling" Morato and two other co-accused in the plunder case in connection with allegation over the fund misuse of the agency, without bail.

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. And it's not as if these same taxpayers aren't already being soaked by maxed-out fees charged by public utilities, the oil companies, telco firms and all the other for-profit entities that they pay money to.

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.

Genuine peace will reign not only in the Muslim region but in all regions of our country, if the problems of poverty and in justice will finally be solved.

In other words, we have to change the system and the people running the system. But as things now stand, peace will really remain elusive.

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.

Kabataan Rep. Raymond Palatino. "Who are  they kidding? What made Akbayan think they are still marginalized and underrepresented and without a voice in government? Didn't President Aquino himself raise the hand of Hontiveros during the proclamation in Club Filipino? Aren't their members already in the Palace occupying sensitive and powerful positions?" 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.

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.

Ngayon pa lang ay nangyayari na ito sa pag-usbong ng reklamo mula sa isang paksyong MILF at pati na ang MNLF na grupo ni Nur Misuari. Para naman sa iba pang miyembro ng Minority Bloc magiging problema pa rin ng gobyerno ang Mindanao dahil hindi nito nakonsulta ang iba pang stakeholders na baguhin ang Bangsamoro Entity.

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.

PHILSTAR: GMA still in pain
- According to the director of VMMC, Arroyo is still in pain and the scheduled exam to determine if her potassium level had normalized was not done on Tuesday as planned because of this.
