INQUIRER: Enrile urges anti RH group to question birth control law before SC

INQUIRER: DORONILA the UNA is putting up a powerhouse lineup for May's senatorial election. And it is sending a message to the President to go easy on Garcia: He needs the UNA numbers to build up a coalition led by the Liberal party in the Senate, where the ruling party holds only five seats. The President needs to control the legislature during his remaining three years. Otherwise he becomes a lame duck. Pres Aquino needs to show that he is introducing economic and social reforms than  prosecuting or persecuting his political enemies or proclaiming his incorruptibility.

INQUIRER: DORONILA the swiftness of the administration to employ its punitive powers to damage the electoral chances of candidates it does not favor is underlined by the fact that the case against Garcia is administrative, not criminal, and does not involve graft and corruption. The timing is suspicious - it comes close to the next elections. The administration could have waited until after the elections, as there will be no ill effects on its centerpiece program - clean and honest government .
