PHILSTAR: DICK PASCUAL

- The public can no longer put up with this Senate charade, performed at great taxpayer's expense, of the CORRUPT INVESTIGATING THE CORRUPT. There should be some way of forcing the senators who have dipped their sticky fingers into the pork barrel to return at least 99 percent of the loot as an initial act of restitution to mitigate the plunder. After that penitential act, the YELLOW RIBBON committee can SELF-DESTRUCT. Senators who want a closer view of big-time corruption in government can just look at themselves in the mirror. That solo act is less oppressive to taxpayers.

MALAYA: ROU (Reformist Officers United) MANIFESTO

"From the first day, PNoy, using useless advocacy of 'Matuwid na Daan', has actually steered the country in one direction alone, that of private gains and and mindless arrogance... for more than three long, unhappy years (Aquino) has drifted with neither will or ability to govern, muddling through all our national crises, setting a record of corruption and plunder, incompetence and clumsiness... offering solutions which are short-sighted, meaningless palliatives and rhetoric that leave more frustrated than ever.

ABS-CBN: Ex-CJ Puno tells Senate: You risk destroying yourself

Former CJ Reynato Puno said the Senate will wreck itself as an institution if it will surrender its right to investigate in aid of legislation. The Senate, thru its Blue Ribbon Committee, should uphold its right to investigate is a crucial component of the power to enact laws which the Constitution right to investigate in aid of legislation cannot be defeated nor diminished by any confidentiality rule which is only found in the Rules of Procedure of the Office of the Ombudsman. An administrative rule can never negate a constitutional grant of power," he said.

during the trial of cj corona,  then senator-judge drilon was very lenient in granting subpoenas to witnesses from bank executives, ombudsman, doj, amlac, condo units sales executives, LRA...kulang na lang ipatawag pati sorbetero at pedicab drivers to testify against corona. now suddenly, he defers to the ombudsman and refuse to include napoles in the investigation. why of heart mr drilon?

MLA STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES - BABOY

And how, pray tell, can the Ombudsman (wise as she is) tell the Senate how to conduct its independent investigations in aid of legislation? In this upside-down world where political alliances bleed over from one branch to the next, from one department to another, there should still be a limit to what those in power are allowed to get away with. It is best to describe Drilon's action in pithy Pilipino: Binababoy na ni Drilon ang Senado.

lies and deceptions on pnoy whereabouts

- what do we expect... a bogus president plucked from nowhere and campaigned by exploiting grief and elected by faulty pcos machines... after 3 years the amateur president placed the country in total chaos.

tama nga naman si pnoy sa paggamit ng malampaya funds. energy-related naman yung mga pinagbigyan ng pondo: to "energize" his legislative allies to impeach cj corona, pass rh, cybercrime and sin tax laws, and to ignore foi bill and "play dumb" on the milf bangsamoro agreement.

Guingona to De Lima: I am disappointed with you

De Lima: Hindi pumayag ang office of the ombudsman na humarap sa Senate Blue Ribbon committee  hearing si Janet Lim Napoles "at this time"... Senate Franklin Drilon.

- Ombudsman is an independent constitutional official. out of respect of her office, we must defer to the ombudsman.
