De Lima should resign. She failed to disclose that her husband brother Napoles to the NBI yet she fired NBI deputy director in intelligence Rouel Lasala and deputy director Reynaldo Esmeralda on mere chismis. She knew her husband, Atty. Bohol, was brokering for Napoles. Yet, she never disclosed it. All she can say is "no comment." Is that "tuwid na daan?" Isn't anybody asking Pnoy to fire her? Isn't any member of congress asking her to resign?

TRIBUNE: SERGE ACCUSES NOYNOY OF PORK SCAM COVER-UP
A cover-up is what President Aquino, ordering a Palace probe on alleged pork barrel scam involving an agency directly under the Office of the President amounted to, according to an erstwhile staunch Palace ally Sen. Serge Osmeña III yesterday as he raised serious mistrust over Aquino's pronouncements. "I don't like that idea and I'm just suspicious of it. Why would he ask Peter to investigate Paul" Get an outsider to investigate it if he really wants," he said.

MLA STANDARD EDITORIAL: A general disconnect
Certainly, there is also a serious disconnect between what the President says his government is doing for the victims of super typhoon Yolanda, and what the survivors themselves are saying. How, after all, can we reconcile the claims of his Social Welfare secretary about the efficiency of relief operations under her watch, and REPORTS THAT FOOD AID THAT HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO ROT IN WAREHOUSES IS BEING BURIED IN DUMPS, or worse, being distributed to the survivors? The President's claim that the REPORTS ARE BEING INVESTIGATED by the Social Welfare secretary BORDER ON THE LUDICROUS, and creates yet another disconnect. IS IT RIGHT THAT THE ACCUSED TO INVESTIGATE HIS OWN CASE? THIS President seems to think so.

MLA STANDARD: FIRE TRUCKS OVERPRICED
OPPOSITION lawmakers on Monday accused President Benigno Aquino III and Local governments Secretary Manuel Roxas II of authorizing the importation of 76 overpriced fire trucks for P20.14 million each, rather than the P7 million that the administration publicized in 2012, or P6 million each for locally manufactured units. Dela Cruz vowed to summon Roxas to a Question Hour in Congress to shed light on charges that the Rosenbauer fire trucks were priced even higher than those contracted by the previous Arroyo administration.

MANILA STANDARD: EMIL JURADO - A do-nothing government
The slow response to the clamor of Yolanda survivors for more help is perhaps what best exposes this do-nothing government. Social Welfare and Development Secretary Dinky Soliman is clueless either from local and foreign sources, has been received by government. There is no system of monitoring all the donations that poured in after Yolanda.

TRIBUNE: Lack of gov't records on aid spells 'double damage' for Yolanda victims
A "double devastation" for the "Yolanda" victims and foreign and local donors is forthcoming should the government fail to disprove its reported shoddy record-keeping of the funds, a prelate yesterday said. According to Father Oscar Florencio of the Archdiocese of Palo, the government risk losing donors if found that there is no clear record that the government has on donations. "That could be another disaster, we really owe them an accounting. I think there is a problem here. It could be another disaster," he noted.

PHILSTAR: Food aid for Yolanda victims rotting?
The country could be put in a bad light before the international donor community following reports that food aid for Super Typhoon Yolanda victims are left rotting without being distributed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), an administration lawmaker said yesterday. Valenzuela City Rep. Sherwin Gatchalian said such reports are "simply unacceptable by any standard," adding the government has a moral obligation to feed and help Yolanda victims.
