The main qualifications of BS Aquino in choosing his men: PAKIKISAMA. No outstanding capabilities or intellect whatsoever. Because of their amateurish and student council-like advice, death of its citizens in Sabah and Mindanao secession are looming over the country like a sword of Damocles. DAMUHONG PANGULO!!!
INQUIRER: ISSUE: Arroyo as an issue? That's so 2007 - Zubiri
It's now 2013 and they're still talking about Pres Gloria M-Arroyo? Zubiri, who is running under the UNA, assailed the opposing administration ticket for still bringing up the former President as a campaign issue for the May 13 elections.
ANC: fg arroyo: former president shocked after being linked to sabah standoff. he call the claims baseless. "baka pati pagpatay kay rizal ibintang samin," arroyo said.
PHILSTAR: DICK PASCUAL
Here is a situation where the property owner is barred by the tenant and threatened with violence. To his dismay, the owner is then scolded by the President who, by all indications, happens to be a great friend of the tenant. ON WHOSE SIDE?: Pres Aquino should decide once and for all if he is for Malaysia or his fellow Filipinos, and then walk the talk. Of course the President has to maintain friendly relations with Kuala Lumpur even when it is clear that the cunning Malaysians - aided by British and American official operators - are pulling his leg.
PHILSTAR: ALEX MAGNO
For more than three weeks, we did not have a consular team on the ground. The DFA was getting information second-hand. We had no diplomat available to negotiate with the armed Filipino group, perhaps to relay messages from the office of the President. The crisis may have ended earlier (and peacefully) if we had a consular team deployed near the line of confrontation - and if the Palace paid the crisis the executive focus it deserved. That is now academic Blood has been shed. Malaysian security forces were humiliated and will want to get even. Kuala Lumpur is irritated and will tend towards draconian measures.

Dating First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, sinabi na na-shock si dating Pang Arroyo na siya ang pinagbibintangan na nanggagatong sa pamilya Kiram sa lugar ng Sabah. Ayon kay Ginoong Arroyo, lumabas na sa Court ng Sandiganbayan na lahat ay ibinibintang sa kanilang mag-asawa at hindi na siya nagtataka kung sakaling ibintang din ni Pang Aquino ang pagkamatay ni Jose Rizal sa kanilang pamilya. Ayon kay Ginoong Arroyo, walang basehan at hindi raw dapat intindihin pa.

ABS-CBN NEWS: Gordon says PNoy weak on foreign policy
"Ang problema ni PNoy ang sabi ko nga medyo kulang dun sa nuances in foreign policy. It is not his strongest suit. You do not negotiate in public. You make sure - ano ba talaga ang national interest natin diyan? Ano ba talaga ang dapat natin reaction dyan? he told Headstart host Karen Davila. "Kung nagkulang ako sa inyo, patawarin niyo. Bumalik na kayo dito. Ipaglalaban ko ang claim niyo, He did not do that. What did he says? You are outlaws? You are criminals. When you come back here, lagot kayo," he said.

Professor Julkipli Wadi, dean of the Institute of Islamic Studies in University of the Philippines Diliman, on Tuesday criticized the Palace and called the advisers of President Benigno Aquino III "newbies" because of the way they manage the long-standing Sabah claim issue. "Yung pattern ng polisiya ng ibat-ibang gobyerno simula ng panahon ni President Diosdado Macapagal ay full support sa posisyon ng Sulu sultanate [sa claim over Sabah]," Wadi told radio dzMM Tuesday morning.
INQUIRER: Misuari warns Aquino of 'total chaos'
Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) founding chairman Nur Misuari on Tuesday lambasted President Aquino for his alleged mishandling of the Sabah conflict and warned any attempt to arrest Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III would plunge the country in "total chaos." "and for what reason is he (Aquino) aligning this country with Malaysia, a colonial power occupying the land of our people? I am against that, totally against that with all my soul. I hope the President will be properly advised. I hope he will recant. Otherwise we won't forgive him," Misuari said.
INQUIRER: MON TULFO
- The MILF is a breakaway group from the original MNLF. But the President left out the MNLF, led by the Tausug tribe, and the Sulu Sultanate, in  the peace agreement. How could there be lasting peace in Mindanao without a peace agreement with all the other Muslim tribes as well? Apart from the Tausug and Maguindanao, the other Muslim or Moro tribes are the Maranaw of Lanao, Yakan of Basilan, Badjao and Samal of Tawi-Tawi, and Iranon of Cotabato. Of what use is the peace agreement with the Maguindanaons if the other tribes and the Sulu Sultanate are left out?

The 5 are in Lipa, Batangas; Sorsogon; Kidapawan; Borongan, and Tarlac. Fr Castro also says, aside from the tarpaulins, they will do other means of spreading the names of the Team Buhay, Team Patay candidates in their areas, such as going house to house.
