TRIBUNE: CACHO OLIVARES - Noynoy is filled with hubris. He believes that, as he sits in Malacañang, he can do as he pleases--including getting exemptions every time. Remember when he also sought an exemption from the election gun ban, claiming that he had to keep on with his target shooting practice, which the subservient poll commission granted? Again, he sought and was granted an exemption from the election ban law. He acts as though he is above the law and that he is the boss, not the Filipino people whom he claims are his boss, What Noynoy is, is a HYPOCRITE.

MLA STANDARD: DOJ won't lift arrest order vs ex-governor - Reyes lawyers cited De Lima's alleged bias against their client as shown by her media pronouncements that went as far as insinuating he had resorted to "foul tactics or illicit means" in having the charges against him dismissed by the Court of Appeals. Reyes' counsels led by Ferdinand Topacio asked her to "follow the dictates of ethics and the mandate of jurisprudence and inhibit herself and her Department from the case.
PHILSTAR: MARICHU VILLANUEVA
- Now that he is also doing what he denounced before against his immediate predecessor at Malacañang, will Pres Benigno Aquino III soon be eating humble pie? Corona's appointment was questioned as a violation of the constitutional provision that prohibits such appointments two month before elections. But the essence and spirit of the law being questioned here pertain to the same situation: the timing of presidential appointments being issued, in this case, during the prescribed election campaign period ban.

INQUIRER: NEAL CRUZ - Ban the Bum and political dynasties
No word at all on his qualifications to be a senator. There is none. From out of nowhere, Bam wants to be a senator right away. It's as if he is saying: I am an Aquino, I look like Ninoy, I have the same name, I am related to two Presidents, Cory and Noynoy. I don't need any other qualification. But does he have the brains of Ninoy? I think not. Otherwise, he would have conducted his campaign differently.

DZMM: Gerry Baja and Anthony Taberna
Baja: "Kahit po anong pilipit, kahit anong paikot ang sabihin ng Palasyo na walang diskriminasyon ang desisyon na pagbi-veto ng Pangulo sa panukalang batas na height requirement sa PNP, BJMP, at BFP, doon pa rin babagsak sa diskriminasyon. Ang magiging punto roon ay kapintasan. Kapintasan na ikaw ay maliit lang!. Dahil bahagya ka lang na umangat sa lupa, hindi ka pwedeng maging pulis, maging bumbero! Hindi kaya kailangan din nating maglagay ng requirement sa mga napupunta sa Malacañang?
Taberna: "ang nangyayari ay lumalakad tayo ng paurong. Ang mga first world countries, inaalis ang mga ganitong klase ng mga alituntunin, pero sa atin baligtad! Parang ang yabang natin! Ang matatangkad na tao, inaalis ang height requirement, tayo naman ibinabalik!

MLA TIMES: ATTY DODO DULAY
- The investment-grade rating was achieved, in no small measure, through the fiscal and budgetary policies implemented during the administration of the Palace's reviled (and favorite) nemesis - former pres Gloria M-Arroyo. Of course, Malacañang would have none of that. many financial analysts point out that for developing economies like the Phils, an investment-grade rating is a product of years of fiscal discipline. The Aquino administration, however, would have us believe that they did it in LESS than three.

ANC: Anakbayan, League of Filipino Students and Kabataang Artista para sa Tunay na Kalayaan today filed a new DQ case against Akbayan Party-list for alleged violations of election campaign regulations. They also accused Akbayan first nominee Rep. Walden Bello of failing to follow the Comelec rule forcing media personalities, including columnist to take a leave of absence from work during the campaign period. Bello published 3 articles as an Inquirer.net columnist during the campaign period.
ANC: Malacanang said it will act on positive evidence about the culpability of certain individuals over the disappearance of Jonas Burgos. For now, the Palace considers individuals tagged over his disappearance "innocent until proven guilty," including Brig. Gen. Eduardo Año who was recently PROMOTED and appointed as HEAD of the military's intelligence service.
