I still have to see that government TV ad having a number of working families extol Gloria Arroyo’s economic achievement. “Ramdam na ramdam namin,” they…

Update:
At the investigation of the nine enlisted men today, they were given a charge sheet for violations of of Articles of War No. 67 (mutiny) and 96 (conduct unbecoming of an officer and gentleman) without supporting evidence.
In their own handwriting, at the back of the charge sheet, the soldiers denied the charges and explained their whereabouts on Feb. 23, 2006. many of them were at home in their provinces on administrative break pending the transfer to other units aftert eh the Anti-Crime task Force where they were assigned was dissolved.
When the nine of the 40 enlisted men of the Philippine Army’s Scout Rangers detained in Camp Capinpin for 18 months without charges were brought to the compound of the Army’s Intelligence Service last Wednesday night, their custodians didn’t waste time working on them.
And who did they use to try to break the nine? Capt. Milo Maestrocampo and Lt. Lawrence San Juan.
This is outrageous!
Mabasa said he doesn’t want the press to be “politicized”. But what he did, bowing to the will of Gloria Arroyo’s paetorian guards, was political. A despicable kind of politics.
Media must be politically sensitive and responsive. Media should be an agent of liberation, not for idiotization.

A group of artists is outraged at the “bastardization” of its mural on press freedom at the National Press Club, and is accusing the NPC of “censorship.”
“Isn’t it ironic that an institution such as the NPC would cause the censorship of a work that they themselves commissioned purportedly to promote press freedom?” the Neo-Angono Artists Collective rued in a statement posted on its website.
Biruin mo hanggang ngayon, magdadalawang taon na, naghahagilap pa lang ang mga bata ni AFP Chief of Staff Hermogenes Esperon ng ebidensya laban sa 28 na opisyal at 40 na enlisted personnel o sundalo na kanyang ipinakulong dahil sa plano raw na magwithdraw ng support kay Gloria Arroyo noong February 2006.
Kaya ngayon, pinipiga nila ang siyam na sundalo sa Intelligence Security Group para makakuha sila ng impormasyon na maa-aring gamitin laban mismo sa kanila at sa ibang mga opisyal na nakakulong.
Ang siyam ay ibinaba noong Miyerkoles mula Camp Capinpin sa Tanay. Sila ay kasama sa 40 na sundalo na halos magdadalawang taon nakakulong kahit walang kasong isinampa.

Only the most callous person could have been spared from feeling some degree of outrage in the light of successive instances of blatant corruption that assaulted the nation’s collective psyche the last few months.
The ZTE NBN Senate Investigation, while far from being over, has already convinced even the most simple minded of individuals that the Filipino people would have been robbed of billions of pesos in kickbacks to shameless high ranking government officials had the would-be thieves not been stopped in their tracks.

Nang inikuwento ni Fr. Ed Panlilio, Pampanga governor, ang tungkol sa white lady sa Malacanang na nagbigay ng kalahating milyon pera na nakalagay sa paper bag, naisip ko ang maraming kwento tungkol sa white lady diyan sa palasyo.
Flashback muna tayo sa kuwento ni Fr. Ed. Sabi niya ang umabot sa kanya ng paper bag na may P500,000 ay ang kanyang assistant. Sabi naman ng kanyang assistant, yun ay galing kay Bulacan Governor Jon-jon Mendoza. Sabi naman ni Mendoza ay galing yun sa isang babaeng nakasuot ng puti. Lady in white sa English. Sa ating carabao English naging white lady. Parang gamot ng Intsik na white flower.
Nang nagku-cover ako sa Malacanang marami akong kwento naririnig tungkol sa lumalabas na babaeng nakaputi kapag hatinggabi. Minsan ang pinakitaan ay si Assistant press secretary Mallari (nakalimutan ko ang first name).
