Former President Gloria Arroyo starts her 2nd term as representative of the second district of Pampanga

She took her oath before a notary public at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center where she is under hospital arrest.

Her husband, Mike Arroyo, other family members, her chief of staff Elena Baustista Horn, and her lawyer Raul Lambino witnessed the oath-taking, along with some of Arroyo's constituents from Pampanga.

Arroyo ally Gov. Lilia Pineda and her son Vice Gov. Dennis Pineda, the first-ever-mother-and-son team to head Pampanga's provincial government, have also taken their oaths at the Saint Augustine Parish Church, the oldest church in the province.

The Office of the Ombudsman is mandated by its own internal rules to act on even an "anonymous" complaint, tip, or information against govt officials, their relatives and friends. Anonymous tips, complaints are acted upon by the fact-finding teams of the Office of the Ombudsman to verify whether the allegations are based on facts. USEC VALTE can not dismiss the complaint of Extortion without a minimum inquiry by the Office of Ombudsman, but she must encourage the accused to submit notarized sworn statements or affidavits that they, the kamag anak inc group, did not visit Czech Republic, did not visit Inekon, did not talk to Czech Amb Josef Rychtar, did not discuss MRT 3 new, replacement train purchase, did not bring Steve Psinakis to Czech Republic and Inekon.

What is "obscure and murky", according to USEC VALTE, can be clarified by a simple query addressed to Czech Amb Josef Rychtar:

1. Did Kamag anak visit Inekon?
2. Did kamag anak vist Czech Republic?
3. Is Czech Amb Rychtar happy with the treatment of Inekon company by the DOTC during the public bidding for new trains for the MRT 3 edsa Line?
4. Did Cory Aquinos top train man Pete Prado discuss Inekon and MRT 3 trains with Amb. Rychtar?

DZRH: CZECH REPUBLIC REPRESENTATIVE READY TO SPILL BEANS AGAINST BALLSY
The representative of Czech Republic to the Philippines is ready to spit everything out regarding the extortion accusations against Presidential sister Ballsy Aquino-Cruz and Presidential brother-in-law Eldon Cruz to a huge Czech company. Rumor has it that Ballsy Aquino is a close friend of Philippine ambassador to Czech Republic Evelyn Austria-Garcia. Prior to this, reports spread quickly that Ballsy asked Inekon for an advance payment from Two to 20 Million dollars so it can enter as the supplier of coach of trains. Officials from the Inekon Company slammed the advance payment that is being asked by the Cruzes, Prado and Psinakis.

STOCK MARKET NEARS 'BEAR TERRITORY (PSEi already down by 19% from peak recorded in May) -- Prospects of rising US interest rates and a slowing Chinese economy yesterday dragged the local stock market barometer below the 6,000 mark, bringing the local bourse on the brink of returning to a "bear" market. The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) slumped 211.12 points or 3.41% to close at 5,971.05.

P-Noy on economy: "You ain't seen nothing yet". But the majority of Filipino workers will still be left out. By 2016, around 12.4 million Filipinos [about a million more than today-RDT] would still be unemployed, underemployed, or would have to work in the low-pay informal sector. But even that REQUIRES a kind of intensive and extensive reform program the Aquino government, even after 3 years, appears to be either incompetent or unqualified to undertake. That we-ain't-seen-nothing-yet headline could mean a totally different development by 2016 from what Aquino meant.

EMIL JURADO: The NSO has said that unemployment worsened to 7.5% in April. This translates to 3.09M Filipinos unemployed. The underemployed now number 7.25M Filipinos. So what does a resurgent economy mean for people who don't even have food on the table? In the last few days, a number of not-so-good things happened in the economic front. First came the decrease of exports, then the increasing OUTFLOW of foreign direct investments because of a reported rebound of the US economy. The peso weakened, resulting in big losses in the stock market.

TRIBUNE: Investments lack, slowing trade fuel 7.5% jobless rate
The figure puts the total of jobless Filipinos at 3.068 million during the month. The dismal employment data was accompanied by a NEDA report that exports contracted by 12.8 percent in April to $4 billion from $4.6 billion a year ago. The BSP also released data the other day that foreign direct investments (FDI) posted a net outflow of $78 million in March which means more investments flew out rather than infused into the country.
