ANC: casiguran farmers, fishermen. tribesmen not optimistic despite dialogue with president aquino. they ask 'does the president really care for us?'

TRIBUNE EDITORIAL: Funny, but the more Noynoy and his aides keep on talking about their treading the straight path, the more data, especially from Transparency International (TI), that ranked the Philippines at 34 percent, out of a hundred percent in the corruption index, show that the propaganda of the NOYNOY'S STRAIGHT PATH ISN'T BEING BOUGHT by foreign investors. What this means is that the Philippines under Noynoy and his claimed STRAIGHT PATH has become one of the MOST CORRUPT countries in the world.

TRIBUNE: NO LPS MAKING IT TO TOP 12 - For a president who is being claimed in surveys as being very popular among Filipinos, especially the so-called masa, Noynoy does not seem to be possessed of a strong endorsement factor, as seen in the latest per-election survey on senatoriables. What is really glaring to many is that the few LP senatorial bets who are also Noynoy's choice haven't been rating in the surveys, such as former Sen Jun Magsaysay, former Sen. Jamby Madrigal and Noynoy's cousin, Bam Aquino, along with Noynoy's favorite Akbayan bet, former party-list Rep. Rissa Hontiveros-Baraquel.

ANC: some of the protesting farmers appear on anc complaining that after marching from casiguran for two weeks they saw no solution to apeco from pres. aquino.

PHILSTAR: SC JUSTICES VOID ORDER OF SERENO
Justices of the Supreme Court (SC) overruled yesterday Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno's order creating a new judicial office in the Visayas. An SC member told The STAR they agreed in full-court session to decentralize administrative functions, but not immediately as Sereno had unilaterally directed in Administrative Order No. 175. The  AO created the Judiciary Decentralized Office (JDO) and reopened the Regional Court Administration Office (RCAO) in Cebu City.

Ted Failon on DZMM: "Ang hirap sa binatang Presidente, kapag gabi na, barkada na ang mga kasama. Buti sana kung puro good influence."

PHILSTAR: ERNIE MACEDA
Relief and resources are QUITE SLOW in reaching the isolated towns of Banganga, Cateel and Boston. When President Aquino and his party visited, THEY USED 7 HELICOPTERS WHY WEREN'T THEY USED TO DELIVER EMERGENCY RELIEF TO THE ISOLATED BARANGAYS?

OKADA OK dealing with NAGUIAT
OKADA NOT OK dealing with GENUINO
MAY KAKAMBAL BA SI OKADA???

MLA STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES
This appears to be the mandate of the Office of the Ombudsman, which is being shamelessly misused by the Aquino administration to persecute its political foes. And the unfounded and thoroughly irresponsible case filed against former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and the officials she appointed to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office might as well be Exhibit A of this government's vengeful ways.

MLA STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES
Justice delayed is supposedly justice denied. And if you are an enemy of this administration, your day in court will be put off indefinitely, to keep you detained and to deprive you of any semblance of justice - or even of an appropriate defense.

MLA STANDARD: EMIL JURADO - THE HARASSMENT CONTINUES
Instead of going after Ongpin, the DBP should target accounts which have been long unpaid. Why not go after delinquent borrowers, or those who have had to restructure their loans numerous times. The P3-billion Lopez loans from DBP have been WRITTEN OFF. Why? Buddy Zamora's loan has also reminded DELINQUENT. Why is the DBP not running after him?

MLA STANDARD: EMIL JURADO
DBP employees accused Nuñez of using the planes of Salvador Zamora, his former boss (and a big borrower from the DBP) to provinces, at times just to play golf. Zamora was a contributor to President Aquino's campaign in 2010. The complaint detailed the date Nuñez used Zamora's planes and the places he went to. But Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales has not lifted a finger to act on this complaint. Why? STRAIGHT PATH, MY FOOT.

ANC: davao oriental and comval typhoon survivors still not reached by assistance more than a week after pablo hit. Hospital staff also running out of supplies and medicines.

TRIBUNE: CHARLIE MANALO
And several years back, when Noynoy was not contemplating on seeking the presidency yet, I had interviewed a farmer from Hacienda Luisita who claimed that on the day the Luisita Massacre was perpetrated, Noynoy had entered the gates of the sugar estate and several minutes later, his bodyguards came back and started shooting at the farmers manning the barricades at the Luisita gates.

TRIBUNE: CHARLIE MANALO
Wasn't it during the incumbency of his mother, the late President Cory Aquino when scores of peasant were killed and hundreds more hurt in the infamous Mendiola and the Lupao Massacres which occurred less than a month apart each? And the only crime they have committed was to ask for the implementation of a genuine agrarian reform.

GMA NEWS: PHL'S 2012 EXPORTS TARGET NO LONGER REACHABLE
Slower merchandise exports growth in Oct. has cemented expectations that the government's 10% target for the year will not be met, an industry official said Tues. "That means meeting the target of 10% is unlikely," Sergio R. Ortiz-Luis, president of Philippine Exporters Confederation Inc. (PhilExports), told GMA News, reacting to government to government data released this morning. "...[Hitting the target is] getting dimmer now, with electronics not sustaining its growth," said Ortiz-Luis, who is also vice chairman of the joint public-private Export Development Council.

BUSINESS WORLD: LUIS V. TEODORO
If Mr. Aquino's deed don't match his words in the press freedom and free expression domains, neither do they match his words as far as human rights are concerned. Doubtless the celebration of Human Rights Day this Monday, Dec. 10, will be one more occasion during which Mr. Aquino will dish out the usual cliches about his commitment to human rights, complete with reminders that his parents were  themselves victims of human rights violations. And yet, human rights violations are not only continuing but have even escalated in scope and number since he came to power in 2010.

INQUIRER: The Supreme Court has revoked the November 27 resolution issued by Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno allowing the reopening of the Regional Court Administration Office (RCAO).
