ABS-CBN NEWS: Former President Gloria Arroyo now has a blockage in her artery even as she continues to risk "sudden death" due to a displaced titanium plate along her spine. Thus says an August 11, 2012 medical bulletin signed by Makati Medical Center's Dr. Roberto Anastacio, released to some media by sources also supplied media with 2 plates from her May 2012 diagnosis. Sources say Arroyo will be checking into Makati Medical Center 10am Monday for a CT Scan Protocol under Anastacio.

DZMM: Nagbabala si Atty. Frank Chavez sa JBC na pwede silang makasuhan sakaling mag-amyenda sila sa kanilang rules of disqualification sa gitna ng labanan sa pagpili ng susunod na punong mahistrado. Posible rin aniya na hindi sila umabot sa deadline na August 27 kung aamyendahan pa ang nasabing rules dahil kailangan pa itong ilathala sa pahayagan. Samantala, tiniyak naman ng JBC na matutuloy na ngayong araw ang botohan sa pagpili ng mga isasama nilang pangalan sa kanilang shortlist.

ABSNEWS 08/13 9:19 AM Former President Gloria Arroyo now has a blockage in her artery even as she continues to risk "sudden death" due to a displaced titanium plate along her spine, according to one of her doctors, Makati Medical Center's Dr. Roberto Anastacio.

Anthony Taberna on ABS-CBN: "Ano nga ba ang garantiya na hindi na tayo mamomoproblema kung ililipat ng Setyembre ang pasukan? Sa panahon po natin ngayon, umuulan kahit tag-araw. Bumabaha kahit walang bagyo. Ang dapat po sigurong gawin ay MAGTRABAHO ang gobyerno. Alagaan ang kalikasan. Mas magandang drainage system. Mas magandang urban planning."

OH bakit walang survey na ginagawa ang 2 malaking yellow survey groups tungkol sa BAHA? natatakot ba silang malaman ang SAGOT AT REKLAMO NG BAYAN VS PNOY ADMINISTRATION? bago mag SONA, sunod-sunod ang mataas DAW na satisfaction ratings ni Pnoy. NGAYON sila magtanong!! "nasisiyahan ba kayo sa performance at handling ng gobyerno sa FLOOD CONTROL? ang 2 taon ba ni PNoy ay malaki ang nagawa sa pagharap sa mga KALAMIDAD? MAS BUMUTI ba ang RESPONDE ng mga opisyal ng gobyerno?"

pwede pa lang BALUKTUTIN ang rules ng JBC para ma-accomodate ang mga MAY KASO, patas ba ito sa mga aspirants na WALANG KASO? kung pareho lang pala na PWEDE, bakit may RULES pa na HINDI PWEDE? BALUKTOT na PARAAN ng BALUKTOT na KAISIPAN. -- MAHIYA NAMAN KAYO!

sabi ni penoy iniwan daw ni pgma, puro plano and the laguna lake project a "joke". now? after 2 years, wala pa ring aksyon! he is a joke!

INQUIRER EDITORIAL: Enough already. Today's meeting must proceed with the selection, lest the Aquino administration, with the unwitting cooperation of the entire JBC, completely squanders the political capital and the unprecedented opportunity created by the impeachment and conviction of Renato Corona. We regard Tupas' disclosures with not a little skepticism, because he seems to be distancing himself from his own political allies, even when other news stories, such as one carried in the PhilStar, reported that it was HE who seconded Musngi's proposal.

PHILSTAR: ATTY JOSE SISON: The promised reforms in the government are becoming more and more impossible to achieve under the style of governance now in vogue. Everything looks good and rosy ONLY in speeches but not in ACTUALITY. There is still too much politics in running the affairs of government as shown by the recent visits to flood stricken areas which have all the earmarks of early "campaigning". Even the avowed objective of checking graft and corruption with a rallying cry of "kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap", seems to be just another political gimmick for image building rather than for actually cleaning up and improving public service.

DZBB: FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS - Commentary Rene Sta Cruz
RENE: Ang dami na namang naglabasan na panukala makaraan ang nangyaring delubyo. Mismo ang Panguo ang nangako na magkakaroon ng bagong stratehiya laban sa baha. Bitbit pa ang kaniyang mga tatakbong senators. Bitbit si Sonny Angara, Joel Villanueva, Riza Hontiveros Baraquel. Do-doblehin daw ng DBM ang budget para sa flood control sa 2013. Ang tanong: and P12.26-ba para sa 2012, ay may nagawa ba? May na-control ba na flood, ito ang tanong ko sa DBM.
Bay: Wala nga akong alam na na-control.

ANC: Rodriguez, Rizal residents angry after being told to line up for relief goods prior to Pres. Aquino's visit Sunday morning. The supplies ran out and residents rushed welfare officers distributing the goods. The officers had to be evacuated by police.
