GMA NEWS - 24 ORAS ILANG INSTITUSYON SINASABING TILA PAURONG ANG EKONOMIYA NG PILIPINAS - (From 2009 when it was in the 61st slot, the Philippines' ranking has continuously slipped under Aquino's watch to 66 in 2011 and 67 in 2012. Indonesia overtook the Philippines only this year, improving it's "prosperity index" from 70 to 63. the index reflects not just a nation's wealth but also the main factors reflecting the well-being, quality of life and life-satisfaction of its citizens)
PHILSTAR: JARIUS BONDOC - truth is, the 429 visiting parliamentarians from 76 countries already know what's happening. Their EMBASSIES have briefed them about the senators fighting over the spoils: public funds. the hundred million Filipinos know too what they've called each other: briber, bribee, greedy hypocrite, ingrate, attack dog, crusading crook, fence-sitter.
MLA STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES I'd keep an eye out for Drilon, nevertheless. If Drilon ABANDONS the occupant of Malacanang once again, then that may be the way for Roxas to go, as well, if he really wants to get to the palace. Drilon, after all, IS LIVING PROOF that what's carved in stone isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes, all it means is that Drilon and HIS LIKE MINDED

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.

Hoy BS Aquino, magdasal ka na ang susunod na pangulo ay hindi katulad mo. pagpareho sya ng ugali at utak mo, kawawa ka. Maghanda ka na ng mga damit mong pang kulungan. Dami mong pang kulungan. Dami mong kasalanan sa taong Bayan, sa mga pulis sa mga military pati sa ibang bansa tulad ng HK. Dami mong linabag sa constitution at batas!

now that drilon confirmed that mar roxas will run in 2016 - isn't it logical for him to RESIGN as dilg chief to erase doubts that he will use public funds to promote his candidacy? will it be people's money that he will use in provincial sorties for 3 years and use the PNP to control jueteng and intimidate opponents?
ISSUE: OIL PRICE HIKE (1:18-1:19) Relasyon - R5 by A. Lopez
mga militanteng kongresista, tinuligsa ang kawalan ng aksyon ng pamahalaang Aquino para pigilan ang ipinatutupad na oil price hike ng mga ganid na kumpanya ng langis. Ayon kay Anak Pawis Rep. 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.

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."

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.

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.
MANILA TIMES: PCOS WOES COULD LEAD to CHEATING - CBCP The CBCP on Tues warned the Comelec that the problems of the automated elections system, if left unsolved, could lead to widespread cheating in the elections.
Catholic bishops are concerned that the reuse of the PCOS machines, which reportedly had glitches, would raise doubts on the credibility of the election results. "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.

STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES - I fail to understand WHY THE LAW SHOULD NOT be applied to Carlos Celdran. As some people have pointed out, if Celdran were truly some kind of anti-religion crusader, he should SHOW UP at a MOSQUE during prayers and hold up a sign with Osama bin Laden's face on it or AT AN IGLESIA NI CRISTO SERVICE and MAKE RUDE COMMENTS ABOUT FELIX MANALO and his heirs. HE'D BE LUCKY IF HE EVEN GOT HIS DAY IN COURT.
PHILSTAR: ISSUE: CORRUPTION IN THE DEFENSE SECTOR Defense corruption: Phl gets low mark - The Philippines is among the countries where risk of corruption in the defense sector is "very high"due to lack of transparency and weak congressional oversight, an international watchdog said.

INQUIRER: LAWYER FILES ETHICS CASE VS LACSON AMID TRUCE
Notwithstanding the so-called "ceasefire" among disagreeing collegaues, a lawyer filed a complaint for unethical conduct against Sen. Panfilo Lacson in the Senate ethics committee in connection with his remarks branding Sen. Miriam D-Santiago "A CRUSADING CROOK". Lawyer Oliver Lozano filed the ethics case against Lacson on Monday, a day after the former PNP chief indicated in a radio interview that he had an open-and-shut graft case against Santiago for the latter's use of Senate funds for the rent of a satellite office in her family's building.

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. Aquino' performance in the sole WEF session he was invited to participate in-a PANEL discussion on "Resilience in Diversity" by 5 Asean leaders-was MEDIOCRE and he was totally OUTCLASSED in that session by the articulate Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Frm Belinda Oilvares Cunanan (www.polbits.com): In bailing out Environment Adviser Nereus Acosta, P-Noy once again ignores rule of law and separation of powers, just like in his bail-out of accused Gov Grace Padaca whom he then put beyond reach of law in Comelec. A President bailing out his subordinate would have the effect of interference in Sandigan's admin of justice.

STANDARD: GARY OLIVAR - But what took the cake was the President's closing boast that "my bottom line...is...consensus-building". I nearly fell off my chair at that. This man is a consensus-builder? For a different opinion, ask Congress (whom he alternately bribed and threatened into impeaching Corona and passing the RH bill), the Senate (where he persist in trying to oust the Senate President), the Supreme Court (now led by Aquino's hand-picked and certifiable dingbat), the bishops (whom he slandered over supposed PCSO gifts and then defied over RH) media (still waiting in vain for their Freedom of Information Act), the
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?
