PHILSTAR: UNA TO CONTINUE SORTIES, SAYS MAGSAYSAY
Zamb Rep. Milagros Magsaysay maintained yesterday the UNA will continue to go on sorties around the country DESPITE REPORTS that the Aquino administration is BARRING some Liberal Party (LP), and Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) local officials FROM WELCOMING UNA CANDIDATES. "it does not matter if there is pressure or political persecution. At the end of the day, the people will be the ones to decide," she added.

PHILSTAR: Gov't to ensure Amalilio return SURPRISED by the Malaysian authorities' decision stopping the deportation of wanted Aman Futures Group Inc. head Manuel Amalilio, Malacañang said yesterday it would work to ensure his return to the Philippines so he could face charges. ---NAUUNA KASI ANG PROPAGANDA AT PAGYAYABANG!

And purisima came in with Cp thailand in perks. Dati time gma he did na tapos na hyatt 10 cya pumasok again! Why? With pioneering status pa! Pioneer for swine and poultry! HELLO! Baka pioneer ng bulsa!

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.

STANDARD: While the IMF has seen faster growth for the Phils, a CABINET OFFICIAL says the economic gains have NOT been TRICKLING down to the poor and needy. In the home front, NEDA Director General Arsenio Balisacan has admitted to Congress that the RISING INEQUALITY REMAINS A PROBLEM despite the robust economic expansion last year.

STANDARD: ROD KAPUNAN - PURISIMA'S FLAWED LOGIC.
The so-called "whiz kid" of FOREIGN INTEREST who appears to play the proxy role of a hatchet man thinks most Filipinos are STUPID not to notice his flawed logic. This we say because NOBODY IN HIS RIGHT MIND would come up with a silly idea of BORROWING MONEY with interest JUST TO PAY an existing debt. 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.

STANDARD: ROD KAPUNAN - PURISIMA'S FLAWED LOGIC
That unabashedly PRO-BIG BUSINESS Finance Sec Cesar V. Purisima, announced that the Aquino govt intends to borrow another $1 BILLION to fulfill our DEBT SERVICE requirement.

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.
