MLA STANDARD: GARY OLIVAR
What does all this have to do with you, dear reader? Well, if you like what Aquino's trying to do to Arroyo through the courts, wait until he starts to come after you over the Internet.
MLA STANDARD: GARY OLIVAR
Addressing the new charge of plunder leveled against his predecessor in connection with PCSO confidential intelligence fund (CIF) disbursements, President Aquino the other day said, with a perfectly straight face: "We don't file a case that we don't believe to have strong evidence." Yeah, right. Apart from Mrs. Arroyo's approving the request for CIF - something a president is required by law to do - no evidence at all was presented to show that she took part in an alleged "grand conspiracy" to plunder the PCSO funds - let alone that a single centavo of those funds went into her own pockets.
GMA News TV - News To Go: Arroyo camp files Urgent Motion for Hospital Arrest at Sandiganbayan.
ANC: TEDITORIAL: After bemoaning Martial Law and mourning the assassination of Ninoy for defending Filipino freedom, the president signed the measure into law. As in Ninoy's funeral, there are massive protests but they are virtual, the corpse however is real. It is the cadaver of freedom of speech. Not press freedom or broadcast freedom which is the freedom of their owners but the speech of common folk savvy with computers who once upon a time believe there was a place they could call their own, where they could speak their minds as they without government permission.

BUSINESS MIRROR: Aquino pressed to account for missing P3.77-BCCT funds
- Pres. Aquino was asked on Monday to explain and account for the P3.77 billion of CCT funds which gov't auditors found to be missing or unaccounted for in 2011. Salvador France, vice chairman of Pamalakaya, said the President and his alter ego in the DSWD, Sec. D. Soliman, are duty-bound to present the real score on the missing P3.77-B CCT funds, which were disbursed last year by the Aquino administration.
MLA STANDARD: EMIL JURADO - Pres. Aquino proudly intones that newly-appointed Commissioner, former Isabela Governor Grace PAdaca, is innocent of the graft charges filed against her before the Sandiganbayan. Has the President also taken over the Sandiganbayan that he now can rule on the innocence or guilt of Padaca?
questions to ponder: is milf truly representative of the whole muslim mindanao? whats the status of mnlf? umbra kato's freedom fighters?  abu sayaf? will Christians be equally protected in the new bangsamoro state? pnp alongside bangsamoro police? national policies on mining? logging? right to bear arms? taxation? admin of justice? while we flex our muscles in sea boundaries, are we subdividing and giving the ccp/npa the same level of framework entitling them sub-state areas to achieve "lasting peace? 
ANC: Sen. Miriam Santiago expresses concern over the new GPH-MILF peace framework because the constitution needs to be amended to fulfill a provision that grants the Bangsamoro state a ministerial form of govt. Santiago vows to oppose the agreement when it reaches the Senate. 
Dzmm Teleradyo:
Hindi pa man napipirmahan ang framework agreement sa pagitan ng gobyerno at Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), nagbabala na ang Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) sakaling pumalpak ang kasunduan. Ayon kay BIFF Spokesman Abumissry Mama, nakaantabay na sila sa magiging epekto ng kasunduan sa Mindanao. Sakali anyang hindi tuparin ng gobyerno ang pangako nito sa MILF o hindi makatulong ang bagong political entity ng Bangsamoro bilang kapalit ng Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) nakahanda pa rin ang mga armas nila.
ABS-CBN: There is no Ombudsman resolution acquitting former Pres Gloria M. Arroyo in the plunder case over the alleged misuse of PCSO funds, the lead prosecutor in the case said Monday. Lead govt prosecutor Diosdado Calonge said what exist in an initial recommendation by the panel for a LOWER offense of technical malversation and violation of anti-graft laws, instead of plunder. He said the evidence was DEEMED more appropriate for plunder charges AFTER a REVIEW BY Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales. He said Ombudsman Morales has the sole authority to decide WHAT CASES should be filed against any accused and the findings of the panel are merely recommendations subject for review. Diaz said their next option might be to file a petition for bail since they believe the evidence in the case is weak.

Dzmm Teleradyo: Inamin naman ni Lead Prosecutor Diosdado Calonge ng Ombudsman na may rekomendasyon na patawan ng mababang parusa ang dating pangulo. Pero matapos anya itong pag-aralan ng panel of prosecution ay binago nila ito at inakyat sa plunder dahil sa bigat ng ebidensya.

ANC: Ex-pres. Arroyo remains at VMMC. Doctors say she is extremely dehydrated and her treatment could take a couple more days.
ANC: Atty. Diaz: "Arroyo will remain under hospital arrest. We will consider alternative treatment in Tagaytay but I don't know if she will be allowed. She is definitely much thinner and based on doctors' examination, she lost some 25lbs. She's frail. I am no doctor but I can see that her health has deteriorated."
