3. THE OMBUDSMAN, who misinterpreted in the televised impeachment trial Corona's bank accounts in order to spectacularly but falsely claim that he had $10 million hidden away.

STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES
- If it pushes through, THE SUSPENSION OF EMANO will neutralize yet another major opposition leader to favor Aquino's Liberals, just like in Cebu (where Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia is holed up in her provincial capitol) and Pangasinan (where Gov. Amado Espino has been charged with plunder and receiving payoffs from illegal gambling lords). DIGL Sec Mar Roxas, who hands down the suspension orders on local officials - and WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE the CHIEFTAIN-ON-LEAVE of the Liberals - must be very busy these days.

TRIBUNE: MORE POWERS, MORE ABUSES
Already, the AMLC has proven that it does not follow the law covering bank accounts and deposits. The Chief Executive has also been found to wield his powers and get the AMLC to release private bank documents to an Ombudsman, who is more than willing to MISUSE and ABUSE her powers, to get a political foe convicted. The so-called democratic institutions in this country are NOT INDEPENDENT AT ALL, and their claimed integrity is FICTION. All including the AMLC, appear to be SUBSERVIENT to the UNETHICAL and VINDICTIVE Malacañang TENANT.

MALAYA: DUCKY PAREDES - ON GWEN GARCIA
I ask why Malacañang, a virtual zoo clearly filled with political animals, is given the power to suspend other political animals, such as governors? Can't the justice system be trusted to decide on who is guilty of whatever and what punishment to impose on them? If we don't want politics getting into the decision-making, we should take these cases away from the politicos.

Binalaan ng Canadian Government ang kanilang mga kababayan dito sa Maynila laban sa banta ng terorismo ngayong Pista ng Itim na Nazareno. Ayon sa Canadian Government dapat maging alerto at asahan na ang traffic delay dahil sa pakikisapi ng milyong-milyong deboto ng Itim na Nazareno. Dapat umanong iwasan ng mga Canadian Nationals na bumiyahe sa mga lugar gaya ng Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-tawi, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, Zamboanga del Sur, Sarangani, Lanao del Norte at Davao del Sur.

INQUIRER: Gun ban covers Aquino, too, says Comelec - Until the five-month gun ban period is over, it looks like Pres Aquino will just have to settle with playing VIDEO GAMES to sharpen his shooting skills. Shootfests and other activities that involve firing guns are prohibited once the gun ban takes effect on Jan. 13, according to the Comelec. [Uy/p1]
