Fr: Atty Raul Lambino: The Senate or Congress, for that matter, by its nature, is a political body. Its members are highly partisan and cannot be expected to act impartially and objectively on issues that have impact on the gallery or the unsuspecting public. If the bases of the plunder case against PGMA is the Senate report, as what Ombudsman Morales wants to impress her few sympathetic listeners in GOPAC, then this clearly shows that the indictment of PGMA is a political conspiracy hatched, initiated and instigated by PNoy and his political cohorts with the cooperation and submission of his already retired appointee in the office of the Ombudsman for no other purpose or motive but for covering up the current disfunctional state of the nation.

PHILSTAR EDITORIAL: In a survey taken by transparency International UK on corruption in the defense sector worldwide the survey ranked the Phils in the SECOND WORST LEVEL - band E - in the defense sector's vulnerability to corruption, due to lack of transparency in the procurement process and weak congressional oversight. The administration of daang matuwid has NOT been free of controversy in procurement. This involved a gun deal for the PNP that the late DILG sec Jesse Robredo had ordered investigated. The scandal led to the OUSTER OF PRESIDENTIAL FRIEND RICO PUNO as interior usec in charge of police matters.

Rafael Mariano, sa halip na maglatag ng kaukulanghakbang ang Gobyerno para maibsan ang pagtataas ng presyo ng mga produktong petrolyo ay lantaran pa nitong kinakatigan ang mga oil companies. Hirap na aniya makaagapay ang taong bayan sa taas ng bilihin at pasahe ay patuloy pa ring nagbibigay ng dagdag pasanin ang Gobyerno kaya't lumilitaw na inutil ang Administrasyong Aquino sa nabanggit na problema.

STANDARD: BISHOPS REBUKE GOV'T ON FAILURES
Following a three-day closed-door meeting, the CBCP issued a pastoral letter saying there was a "LONG LITANY OF STORMS" besetting the Filipino and the nation as a whole, citing "THE CONTINUING CORRUPTION AND ABUSE OF POWER"
by government officials "or, still worse, the possible HIDING OF INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC."

STANDARD: DAVOS DEBACLE
the deflating truth was far less attractive. Mr. Aquino spoke only at a minor roundtable, with no heads of state in attendance.
Relegated to the periphery of the annual meeting of the world's movers and shakers, Mr. Aquino brought home none of the usual investment pledges. His media spinners could only say that Mr. Aquino had lined up "a new stream of prospective institutional investors." with no specifics to suggest that such a group even existed.

STANDARD: DAVOS DEBACLE
The sad truth is that the "universal praise" came from the lips of the President himself, and there was hardly any tangible harvest worth speaking about.
By the Palace's own account, the President spend P49 million  to go to Davos - with a 64 member entourage that included his personal chef. Was all this expense necessary simply so the President could play a bit role in the WEF meeting that ultimately  produced no tangible results?

PEOPLE'S JOURNAL: NO PROOF OF PLUNDER The plunder case filed by the Aquino administration against former president and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, was dealt major blow after an executive of the PCSO admitted there was no evidence Mrs. Arroyo profited from the agency's "confidential and intelligence fund." At last week's bail hearing of the accused at the Sandiganbayan, Aleta Tolentino, PCSO board member and an appointee of President Benigno Aquino to the board, admitted there is no money trail that would link the former president to the alleged "plunder" of the CIF during her term.

TRIBUNE: JONATHAN DELA CRUZ - INTO DAVOS AND  INTO THE WORLD Did PNoy's advisers even realize for a moment that the spectacle of Corona's impeachment and the drawn out quarrel over the former President's medical condition and her right to travel has somehow BLURRED a good member of UNIVERSAL RIGHTS which the Davos audience is keen  TO BE UPHELD AT ALL COST AND UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES?

TRIBUNE: And there he went again, taking swipes at his predecessor and bandying his claimed "ACHIEVEMENT" of having impeached a chief justice of the Supreme Court without however mentioning the fact that HE HAD TO BRIBE THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS to get them to impeach and convict him. He has the nerve to claim that he walks the straight path, YET HE CORRUPTS THE LEGISLATURE.

TRIBUNE: As pointed out by UNA senatorial bet Richard "Dick" Gordon, Noynoy and the Palace cannot feign IGNORANCE because the European organizers of the World Economic Forum PROVIDED THEM with the PROGRAM AND ITINERARY, adding that no other meetings with the President or his Cabinet were part of Mr. Aquino's itinerary. "So we are not surprised that NO INVESTMENTS WERE BROUGHT HOME," Gordon said.

"If not properly addressed, the present automated election system can lead to wholesale cheating. The integrity of a pillar of our democracy - the election- is at stake," the CBCP said in a pastoral statement.

MANILA TIMES: ISSUE: WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM - What really happened at Aquino's P49-million Davos dud - By Rigoberto Tiglao
Contrary to the reports of a sevile mainstream press, Pres Aquino's trip to the World Economic Forum 2013 (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland was a dud, with even the most important invest-in-the-Philippines aspect of his trip-a meeting with Volkswagen officials purportedly to announce a major investment in  the Phils-unceremoniously CANCELLED.

STANDARD: The Palace, made it appear that the President was a keynote speaker at the WEF attended by 1,500 delegates, including 63 heads of state. "The President did not address the plenary. He was made to speak in the sidelines, before a small panel of 50 people without any other head of state present," Maceda told the news conference. "In short, bringing in an entourage of 63 and spending for their stay there amounting to P49 million was not only excessive and useless but a big waste of taxpayers' money," Maceda said.

ON DAVOS TRIP: UNA Secretary General and Navotas Rep. Tobias Tiangco said he wouldn't be surprised if the small crowd was ALL of the President's entourage. "The panel numbered 50 and the President's ENTOURAGE was 63. The entourage even OUTNUMBERED the delegates who heard the President speak," Tiangco said.

STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES - How far has Pres Noynoy Aquino come in his supposed bid to be the "exact opposite" of his predecessor, Gloria M-Arroyo? This far: from eating a hotdog on the sidewalk of New York City and flying commercial at the beginning of his term,Aquino went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland at a cost of P49 million with a retinue of supernumeraries that included his personal chef - all of  them in a chartered flight.

Noynoy Aquino called Gloria Arroyo the 'absentee leader.' Look who's talking -- the man whose work style became an entry in the Wikipedia. Noynoying is the 'present leader' who hardly holds Cabinet and LEDAC meetings, provincial sorties, and dialogues with key sector like business, labor and farmers. Noynoying is NEVER meeting the National Security Council, and Climate Change Commission despite major issues in these areas. Noynoying is visiting disaster victims only after media badgering. Noynoying is standing up big foreign business events. Who's the absentee Noynoying leader?

PHILSTAR: DICK PASCUAL
- The President recalled that when he assumed office on June 30, 2010, he came upon "a government where corruption was rampant, and a citizenry that had spiraled into apathy after almost a DECADE OF ABSENTEE LEADERSHIP." He DID NOT SAY WHO the "absentee leader" was.

PHILSTAR: DICK PASCUAL
IT CANNOT BE then Pres Gloria Arroyo WHO WORKED SO HARD that her staff and Cabinet members sometimes complained of being tired out by HER FULL-DAY WORK ROUTINE, in contrast to LAZYBONES in the CURRENT administration. He boasted that he plans to export rice this year. Why not? - with his National Food Authority boys on an IMPORTING FRENZY, not to mention the stock that CONTINUE TO BE SMUGGLED, the country has HOARDED more than ENOUGH rice for the elections and then export some of it later.

PHILSTAR EDITORIAL: SLIP IN TRANSPARENCY
Those who have been following the debates on the utilization of funds by the Senate will agree with the results of an international survey on budget transparency. In the Open Budget Survey 2012 covering 100 countries and conducted by the Washington-based International Budget Partnership, the Philippines garnered a SCORE of 48 PERCENT - A SEVEN-POINT SLIP from its score in the previous survey in 2010. That's NOT A good SIGN for the administration of DAANG MATUWID, which is TOUTING TRANSPARENCY as a come-on for investors to take a look at the country.

It is DOWNRIGHT INSANE because he is not recommending a formula on HOW TO IMPROVE OUR ECONOMY, but on HOW TO BURY THE Filipinos DEEPER IN DEBT.

INQUIRER: SOLITA MONSOD - Provision of law inserted to benefit lawmakers
- Until the Senate controversy featuring Sen Juan Ponce Enrile and some senators (it is hard to call them the minority because Joker Arroyo never became involved, and Miriam Defensor-Santiago seems, technically at least, to belong to the majority), burst upon us. For 14 years the senators were content with the situation - until the s-t hit the fan, and this only BECAUSE SOME WERE NOT CONTENT WITH THEIR "SHARE". It was all right to screw the Filipino people, but it was not all right to screw some senators.

SYSTEM ERROR? hindi kaya nagkamali ng hugot ng speech si pnoy sa davos at binasa nya ang statement ni gma re "absentee leadership?" if this true: how can an "absentee leader" be the recipient of a string of imagined cases filed to keep her in detention? this "absentee leader" he referred to works 8-10 hours a day, even during weekends. this "absentee leader" works  even during holidays, vacation and without the "do not disturb" sign. this "absentee leader" was always present during disasters and calamities not to mention weekly cabinet meetings and emergency command conferences. this "absentee leader" personally visited middle eastern countries to save ofw lives and obtained clemencies and did not send "errand boys" to do these jobs for her. this "absentee leader" did not play blind and deaf to the injustice of the poor farmers victimized by hacienderos for decades. this "absentee leader" was always at the forefront in solving economic woes and did not use propaganda and surveys to smokescreen the real score. this "absentee leader" left a growth rate of 8.6% still unmatched up to now, a stable balance of exports and imports, never changed her pro-life stance and maintained good foreign relations throughout her terms. NOW, WHO IS THE ONE ABSENT?

PEOPLE'S JOURNAL: GMA plunder case 'weak' - spokesman
This after a main witness in the plunder case stated that they have no evidence to show that the former President and her co-accused had acquired ill-gotten wealth from PCSO funds. Arroyo's legal spokesman Raul Lambino said that from the start they knew that the prosecution did not have enough evidence to prove that Arroyo illegally disbursed the PCSO funds from 2008-2010.

"we don't know where the money is or where it went," tolentino testified.

Ito ay matapos sabihin ni Cayetano na kaya siya pinag-iinitan ni Enrile ay dahil sa pagiging close nito sa mag-asawang Arroyo. Masama ang loob ni Ginoong Arroyo dahil nananahimik na sila ni GMA pero pilit pa din silang dinadawit sa isyu.

PHILSTAR: ATTY JOSE SISON - (P-NOY) WRONG CHOICE?
Immediately noticeable is the SELECTIVE application of the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Former officials of the previous administration or even incumbent ones reputedly close to the past administrations and MERELY SUSPECTED of being involved in irregularities are PUBLICLY DENOUNCED AND PRESUME GUILTY RIGHT AWAY while still being investigated and/or under trial. But incumbent OFFICIALS CLOSE to P-Noy and reported to be involved in some anomalies ARE NOT TOUCHED AT ALL or PRESUMED INNOCENT until charged and found guilty.

From out of nowhere Bam (Bum?) wants to be a senator right away just because he has a physical resemblance to Ninoy Aquino, whom he consciously tries to imitate and capitalize on. Other senatorial aspirants start more modestly. They start as mayors, governors, or congressmen. Even Ninoy himself started as councilor of his town of Concepcion, Tarlac, before running for mayor, and then on to the national arena. Bam (Bum?) has not even run as barangay captain. Now he wants us to elect him senator? What nerve, what conceit!

INQUIRER: NEAL CRUZ - PALACE USING PORK BARREL TO BRIBE SOLONS
Do you know that the DPWH pays a contractor to tear up perfectly usable roads then pays the contractor again to pour new concrete into the hole? That's where taxes go. Yet roads badly in need of repair are neglected due to "lack of funds." "Lack of funds" is the usual excuse. But there is no lack of funds when it comes to making members of Congress happy.

TRIBUNE EDITORIAL: NO FOI, JUST RIGHT TO REPLY
The law entrusted to the Comelec vast powers to ensure the conduct of elections go smoothly, but it is only under Chairman Sixto Brillantes, under Noynoy's guidance too, obviously, did it push its powers to the hilt to encompass a limitation to a constitutional guarantee on the freedom of the press. With the Comelec imposition, candidates will surely be all over media for free mileage for whatever they can conjure as "charges published or aired against them."

MLA STANDARD: ARROYO ACCUSER CHANGES TUNE
ONE of the Aquino administration's witnesses in the plunder case against former President Arroyo for the alleged misuse of sweepstakes funds on Wednesday came out singing a different tune. The witness/accuser now admitted SHE HAD "NO PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE" of the transactions that led to the filing of the plunder case against Arroyo and co-accused. During cross examination at the bail hearing at the Sandiganbayan, lawyer Aleta Tolentino, said she merely relied on the documents that were given to her when she assumed office in August 2010.

now that sen president JPE was given a vote of confidence by his peers, and the cayetanos and trillanes STILL believe that he should NOT be the senate president - THEY SHOULD RESIGN their COMMITTEE CHAIRMANSHIPS under JPE as it is the noblest thing to do - that is IF THEY ARE NOBLE enough. refusal to do so betrays the OBVIOUS reason of WHAT THEY'RE AFTER.

MLA STANDARD: KIT TATAD - REPLACING ENRILE
PNoy's relationship with Enrile is not much different from Cory's. Just as she owed him her presidency, PNoy owes him a Senate that cannot be accused of being intransigent, and which convicted and removed the Chief Justice on what some lawyers to this day insist was a non-impeachable offense. Although Enrile stood his ground against PNoy's Reproductive Health Act, the measure passed the Senate, and he did not pressure his congressman-son Jack (who wants to become his Senate colleague in May) to vote against it.

PHILSTAR: Taking the witness stand again yesterday, PCSO board member Aleta Tolentino said she has no personal knowledge on the alleged plunder committed by Arroyo over the alleged misuse of the agency's confidential and intelligence funds (CIFs). Tolentino, in response to a question by Peter Bantilan, former PCSO chairman Sergio Valencia's lawyer, said her knowledge on the case was based solely on documents given to her when she assumed office in August 2010. She testified on how the CIFs were spent from 2008 to 2010. Lambino said Tolentino's testimony proves that the charge against Arroyo has no basis and was "going nowhere."

Yes sir, I have no personal knowledge," Tolentino said responding to questions by defense lawyer Peter Bantilan, counsel of former PCSO Chairman Sergio Valencia, adding that her knowledge on the case was based solely on documents given to her when she assumed office at the PCSO in Aug 2010.

There is the still unliquidated P110-BILLION fund as bared by the COA which involves the BOC and the DSWD, the missing container vans, the investigation which had been suspended for good by Congress and a lot more. And yet, clearly, the cases against the former president by the Aquino administration have NO LEGAL OR FACTUAL BASIS. The Aquino administration has been in a relentless effort to file cases against Mrs. Arroyo and her perceived allies which are meant merely as a cover-up for the lack of solid achievements in his almost 3 years in office.

You can hear an ordinary Filipino reacting, 'If the president needs a gun for protection, then I should get one too.
