STANDARD: Sen Miriam Defensor-Santiago on Thursday said corruption WITHIN the bureaucracy was driving foreign investors away as she slammed the proposals to amend the 1987 Constitution because it wasn't necessary. Corruption aside, she cited Manila's territorial dispute with Beijing in the West Philippine Sea as another reason why foreign investors would shy away from the country. "Investors are culturally shy of investment opportunities in a country that faces potential instability from a neighbor-state that is less than friendly."

ABS-CBN: Anthony Taberna, Gerry Baja, and Alex Santos-Taberna: "Inaasahan sa SONA ni Pangulong Noynoy sa Lunes na may mga gagamitin siya ulit na punching bag yung mga dati na niyang punching bag na tulad nina Renato Corona at GMA. Bumaba daw kasi ang rating at pumataas kapag tinira niya muli ang mga ito."
Baja: "So kung bubuntalin niya ulit yung mga dati na niyang binubuntal, posibleng tumaas ang rating niya ulit? Sa tingin ko konti lang naman' yan kung sakali. Pero kung ang bubuntalin niya ay ang mga NAKAPALIGID sa kanya na gumagawa ng kalokohan ay tiyak na taas 'yan.
Taberna: "Ipadala ulit natin si Bong Naguiat.
Santos:"Sana naman sa SONA ni PNoy ay merong makukuha ang ating mga kababayan sa pakikinig."
PHILSTAR: Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago yesterday warned the people that the filing of non-bailable charges against former president Arroyo to ensure her continued detention could be a cause of concern in the international community. "It seems there is an intention of not allowing bail for Mrs. Arroyo, even if she is not convicted. For as long as (there is) a non-bailable offense  she would continue to remain there. The cases come one after the other, that might be a violation of the right to bail that might cause concern in the international community," Santiago said.
