Aquino didn’t even have time Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star The recently manufactured controversy that eventually led to the announced transfer of DILG (Department of the Interior and Local Government) Undersecretary (Usec) Rico Puno to a still unspecified post must have alerted President Benigno S. Aquino III (P-Noy) on who his real friends are and those who can sink him, wittingly or unwittingly. Read More …

Source: The Daily Tribune RANSACKING OR LOCKDOWN OF ROBREDO’S OFFICES?

POSTSCRIPT By Federico D. Pascual Jr. The Philippine Star RH BILL UPDATE: Cracks are showing in the seemingly impregnable wall that Reproductive Health advocates had thrown around the RH bill being shepherded for approval by a well-funded lobby in the Congress.
