ABS-CBN: Palace to Casiño: It's not about your parents
- Pres Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Aquino's statement about Casiño's dismal ranking in pre-election surveys was given in the context of how the leftist movement in the Philippines failed to push their propaganda. "Ang point ng Pangulo, kung effective and inyong propaganda, 'di dapat ang inyong kandidato tataas sa survey. It's not about being personal, it's about your propaganda," he said.

PHILSTAR: FVR DEFENDS GMA'S BRIDGES PROGRAM
Former Pres Fidel Ramos defended yesterday the Presidential Bridges Program, which is being investigated by the Sen Blue Ribbon comm due to allegations of misuse of some P111B for  the project during the Arroyo administration.

PHILSTAR: FVR DEFENDS GMA'S BRIDGES PROGRAM
"PBD actualized the long range Cory plan by the innovative coordination of  foreign development assistance, low interest borrowings, LGU counterpart funds, and voluntary labor from beneficiary communities
- all under the engineering supervision  of then DPWH Sec. Gregorio Vigilar with then Exec Sec Teofisto GUINGONA as overall 'PBP Czar'", Ramos said. The Senate Blue Ribbon committee is chaired by Sen. Teofisto GUINGONA III, a SON nad namesake of the former VP and exec secretary.

Aquino got sick in Australia and left the prime minister's dinner without touching his food. We are still confirming reports if he left in a Porsche or a wheelchair. His lightning departure suggests it could have been a Porsche.

ABS-CBN: Atty. Raul Lambino, legal spokesman of Mrs. Arroyo, said the Ombudsman's decision is clear proof that the case was mere political harassment. "The dismissal of this case is clear proof that the cases filed by [President Aquino] against GMA have no leg of evidence to stand on and are purely harassment suits intended for political expediency and motivated by hatred and vindictiveness," he said in a statement.

MLA STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES - Unprecedentedly UNPRESIDENTIAL
We are perplexed at why Mr. Aquino is FIXATED on nailing the ailing Arroyo when she is already DETAINED and FACING TRIAL for her alleged sins. What else does the President want? His absence of compassion and propensity to trivialize Mrs. Arroyo's troubles give us a glimpse into the TRUE CHARACTER of this leader who ran and WON on NOTHING but RESIDUAL GOODWILL from his sainted parents.

PHILSTAR: PLUNDER CASE VS GMA JUNKED

A criminal complaint for plunder and graft against former Pres Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, former Philhealth head Francisco Duque III and 10 others former government officials was DISMISSED recently for lack of merit. They were charged before the Office of the Ombudsman for the alleged misuse of some P530 million in OWWA Medicare funds.
The anti-graft agency said the money reached the intended beneficiaries abroad. Also dismissed were charges of malversation of public funds, qualified  theft, and violation of the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.

INQUIRER: DISABLED, NETIZENS DON'T FIND P-NOY JOKE FUNNY - Not funny
- From the tone of the reactions on facebook and twitter, it did not look like netizens were buying the Palace's explaining that Mr. Aquino was only repeating a joke and that it was not part of his prepared speech. Dear Mr. President, we are really offended. who wants to be wheelchair bound anyway? Leave the wisecracks and jokes to Vice Ganda. start acting and being President for once, it said. many of the reactions described Mr. Aquino's joke, if it was one, as insensitive, uncalled for, inappropriate, unpresidential, childish.

INQUIRER: Aquino hit for criticisms - Zambales Rep. Milagros "Mitos" Magsaysay said "He should know the proper time to say things especially since he is the head of the state. He should conform to our sense of decency and fair play," said Magsaysay. She said that what the President's comments indicated "where his fixation on lies." He should harp more on his accomplishments and what he intends to do to solve the nation's ills than beating an opponent who is already down."

bakit BALAT-SIBUYAS si Pnoy pag na-criticize sya ng media? nguni't para syang asong-ulol sa pag-banat at paginsulto kay PGMA at hindi namimili ng lugar! hindi ba mas LIBEL kaysa sa anti-cybercrime law?
