"It is on record that as early as January 2012, the house minority has been consistently alerting this administration about the worsening power crisis in Mindanano and its effects on the business community and livelihood of Mindanaoans. House reporters and even the majority bloc an attest to this appeal. sad to say, it was ignored and was not given the proper attention that it deserved."  House minority floor leader Rep. Danny Suarez (0917) 899 0388

MLA STANDARD - JOJO ROBLES - So, the good news is that Aquino has finally woken up to a problem that he needs to attend to, something that he never even mentioned two years ago, when his term was beginning. But the bad news is that he has now wasted two years doing other stuff (Noynoying, really) when he could have attended to the Mindanao power crisis right after he assumed the presidency - if he was really serious about his promise to "hit the ground running."

The current power crisis in Mindanao is part of a pattern, a model designed to ensure that cronies make money of the difficulties suffered by the people. In 1986, the country was plunged in darkness and Cory Aquino did not do anything to provide a solution. But the Aboitiz group provided the power barges and monopolized the importation of generators. the people suffered but the Aquino cronies made money. Today, the same model is being followed. The power crisis will bring in the Aboitiz, Lopezes, Ayalas who have set their sights on the power generating companies owned by the gov't. That's for sure, just you wait and see.  

While kulang sa kuryente ang Mindanao, sobra naman sa pangunguryente ang prosecution and yellow media!

De Lima is the big question mark. She holds the precarious 12th spot in the Pulse Asia survey. She is the most talkative among the Cabinet members but she would be a new comer in the legislature. If Gordon and Zubiri get factored in, she could very easily get bumped off. But who knows? President Aquino needs a Doberman in the Senate.

INQUIRER: ATTY. RICO QUICHO- Describing her articles as "fictional stories," defense counsel Rico Paolo Quicho said Robles should convince the prosecution panel to amend the impeachment complaint and include the Chief Justice's alleged US properties. Quicho told the Inquirer over the phone. "If she really feels strongly about the veracity of the documents, why doesn't she testify so we could have an opportunity to ask question from her," he added.
