DZBB: POVERTY (7:09-7:11 - Saksi sa Dobol B) by A. Gatus
- KMU Chair. Elmer Labog, sinabing hindi raw maitatanggi ng gobyerno na marami pa ring mga Pilipinong naghihirap sa kabila ng pinakahuling survey ng SWS na bahagyang nabawasan ang bilang ng mga Pilipinong nagsasabing mahirap sila. Aniya malinaw pa rin na hindi natutugunan ng husto ng administrasyong Aquino ang kahirapan na kinakaharap ng maraming Pilipino.

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.

MLA STANDARD: Bicolanos, Lakas drop Trillanes as Senate bet
"The senator who blocked the bill will pay for his actions," said Dep Speaker and CamSur Rep. Arnulfo Fuentebella in a radio interview. "Why did you kill the bill? Why did you deny our rights under the Constitution? Fuentebella also disowned Trillanes, who claims to be from the Bicol region. "He is not from our province," he said. "He says he is a Bicolano, but he is not from CamSur. He says the people do not favor the split based on a survey. How can he say that after a one-day visit? People are really angry, and many sent text messages attacking his meddling."

PEOPLE'S JOURNAL: Neri stands fast against testifying vs Gloria
FORMER Planning Sec. Romulo Neri refuses to testify in the trial of the graft case of his former boss, ex-pres Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, in connection with the NBN deal. In his appeal, Neri invoked his constitutional right to remain silent on the ground that he was named defendant in a separate graft case also arising from the NBN-ZTE deal. Defense lawyer Paul Lentejas said Neri cannot be compelled to testify against Arroyo as his case is related with that of the latter.

MLA STANDARD: Sereno-led court rebuffs Malacañang
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.
