"Instead of helping the farmers, the foreigners are being taken care of by [administration officials]," said Enrile, citing the case of a Thailand company that was apparently given preferential treatment by the Board of Investments (BOI).

In her 45-page COMMENT/OPPOSITION to the partial motion for reconsideration of the Ombudsman's move to withhold the release of the first resolution of the PCSO case, Arroyo, through her lawyer Anacleto Diaz, said in order to settle the controversies regarding the first resolution, the Ombudsman should just make public the first resolution in the spirit of fair play and transparency.

Jesus Celeste - for the death of Infanta Mayor Ruperto Martinez. "We are very dismayed over these petty tactics against our candidate.

MALAYA: POLITICAL MERRY MIX-UP - RED FACES ALL AROUND AS LP COALITION MEDIA MEN BLUNDER
The administration's senatorial slate Team PNoy committed a blunder yesterday when its media team issued a statement asking VP Jejomar Binay to explain reports that said he had brought his family to Italy at the expense of the government. The problem is that the media team quoted House majority leader Neptali Gonzales II without his knowledge.

MLA STANDARD: LP JAB AT UNA MARRED BY SNAFU
LP senatorial candidate Jamby Madrigal and LP party whip House Maj Leader Neptali Gonzales II issued a statement on Thursday and asked the COMELEC to audit the Office of the Vice President INSINUATING that Binay traveled to Italy last year with his entire family using public funds. UNA campaign manager Rep. Tobias Tiangco countered that before they make a baseless accusation about corruption, the LP spokesmen, including Palace Spokesman Edwin Lacierda and Marikina Rep. Miro Quimbo SHOULD COME CLEAN and Quimbo should reveal HIS ROLE in the multibillion Globe ASIATIQUE SCANDAL as Pag-ibig president.

ANC: Without confirmation by the Commission on Appointments, Comelec Comm Grace Padaca cannot invoke immunity in her graft and malversation cases before the Sandiganbayan. Ombudsman prosecutors say, the anti-graft court should junk Padaca's motion to dismiss the charges against her. "Without having been confirmed by the CA, accused cannot claim all the privileges and immunities of a regularly appointed Commissioner. Pending her confirmation, she has no fixed term of office," the prosecution stressed.

ANC: 2013 ELECTIONS (3:24-3:25 News Now) by Coco Alcuaz - Former First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo accused the President of using former Pres. Gloria Arroyo to campaign for pro-administration senatorial candidates. Arroyo asserts Filipinos are fed up with Aquino using the Pampanga lawmaker as a whipping girl. Arroyo adds the economic growth Malacanang has trumpeted remains hollow. Unemployment and poverty, as well as criminality, remain high and foreign direct investments are low compared with neighboring countries.

He also slammed the 12-0 forecast of LP and finds it scary even, saying that it can be a mind conditioning tactic.

anc: Commission on Elections Chairman Sixto Brillantes concedes, the credibility  of the elections maybe put to questions because of the absence of a PCOS source code review by political parties and other interested groups.

DZRH: Balewala sa kampo ni CGMA ang pagiging punching bag nito sa mga kaalyado ni PNoy. Ayon kay CGMA's spokesman Atty. Raul Lambino, inaasahan nila ang mga banat kay CGMA sa tuwing magsasalita ang Pangulo. Aniya, wala namang maipagmamalaki si PNoy para maiangat ang mga kandidato ng Liberal Party kaya ibinablame na lang kay CGMA ang mga banat nito sa kampanya.
