STANDARD: Sen Miriam Defensor-Santiago on Thursday said corruption WITHIN the bureaucracy was driving foreign investors away as she slammed the proposals to amend the 1987 Constitution because it wasn't necessary. Corruption aside, she cited Manila's territorial dispute with Beijing in the West Philippine Sea as another reason why foreign investors would shy away from the country. "Investors are culturally shy of investment opportunities in a country that faces potential instability from a neighbor-state that is less than friendly."

INQUIRER: Palace hit for blaming courts on human rights slays - "We remind Lacierda that all these fall within the responsibility of the executive branch. And for him to say that he did not agree with HRW because index crimes are going down in the first quarter of the year is ludicrous," Carlos Conde, HRW's Asia division researcher, said in a statement. "Edwin Lacierda in uninformed at best, dishonest at worst."

ABS-CBN: Anthony Taberna, Gerry Baja, and Alex Santos-Taberna: "Inaasahan sa SONA ni Pangulong Noynoy sa Lunes na may mga gagamitin siya ulit na punching bag yung mga dati na niyang punching bag na tulad nina Renato Corona at GMA. Bumaba daw kasi ang rating at pumataas kapag tinira niya muli ang mga ito."
Baja: "So kung bubuntalin niya ulit yung mga dati na niyang binubuntal, posibleng tumaas ang rating niya ulit? Sa tingin ko konti lang naman' yan kung sakali. Pero kung ang bubuntalin niya ay ang mga NAKAPALIGID sa kanya na gumagawa ng kalokohan ay tiyak na taas 'yan.
Taberna: "Ipadala ulit natin si Bong Naguiat.
Santos:"Sana naman sa SONA ni PNoy ay merong makukuha ang ating mga kababayan sa pakikinig."

PHILSTAR: Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago yesterday warned the people that the filing of non-bailable charges against former president Arroyo to ensure her continued detention could be a cause of concern in the international community. "It seems there is an intention of not allowing bail for Mrs. Arroyo, even if she is not convicted. For as long as (there is) a non-bailable offense she would continue to remain there. The cases come one after the other, that might be a violation of the right to bail that might cause concern in the international community," Santiago said.
THE MANILA TIMES: Plunder complaint vs. GMA weak - justices
-One justice, who spoke to The Manila Times on condition of anonymity, said that there was clearly no "plunder" in the complaint filed against Mrs. Arroyo since the elements needed to prove the crime are not there. The justice explained that for one to be charged with plunder, the accused should "amass wealth" through a series of transactions. But in Arroyo's case proof of these transactions is absent. The justice also said that the information signed by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales is defective.

Manila Standard Jojo Robles
The only media he (aquino) can face are those whose owners ha has co-opted and who routinely praise him for his great ideas. These are the only media people in Aquino's view who has ethics and a conscience.
