ANC: some senators reject enrile's resignation, saying enrile still has the trust & confidence of his colleagues. sen angara also says leadership change at this time will only hamper efforts to rehabilitate the senate after the bitter word war between enrile and cayetano.
ISSUE: SENATE MOOE (7:32-7:33 - Super Balita sa Umaga Nationwide - DZBB) by R. Salvacion
Dating FG Mike Arroyo, umaalma sa pagkakadawit nila ni dating Pang Gloria Arroyo sa away nila Senate Pres. Juan Ponce Enrile at Sen. Allan Peter Cayetano. 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!

- HINDI NAMAN KAMI NAIISULTO SA PANUKALA NA SA ISAILALIM SA PAGSUSURI NG PRIVATE AUDITING FIRM ANG PAGGASTA NG SENADO SA PONDO NG BAYAN.
- PWEDE NILANG GAWIN NA MAGPA-AUDIT SA PRIBADONG KOMPANYA PERO HINDI POPONDOHAN NG PERA NG BAYAN.
- GUSTO KONG MALAMAN SA KANILA MISMO KUNG BAKIT HINDI SILA KUNTENTO SA PAG-AUDIT NG COA.
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.

BLOG: The anti-corruption drive of Pnoy are all empty rantings since the cases against GMA fall one by one for lack of basis and evidence, they are filed only to hide the shortcomings of his administration. It is not anti-corruption when you invent cases even without proof and evidence. It becomes obvious that Pnoy wants to take revenge on GMA for the unfavorable things their family got from the administration of GMA like the Hacienda Luisita.

Masyadong mabigat ang mga inilatag na kondisyon ng korte para pahintulutan na makapangampanya si Pamp Rep. Gloria Arroyo. Ito ang sinabi ni Atty. Raul Lambino, tagapagsalita ni CGMA kasabay ng pahayag na ito ang ilan sa mga dahilan kung kaya't wala ng balak pa ang kampo ni CGMA na maghain ng anumang petisyon sa Sandiganbayan at maging sa Pasay RTC.
