CAGAYAN DE ORO–Noong Martes ng hapon isang granada ang sumabog malapit sa City Hall ng Marawi City na ikinamatay ng isang tao at nasugatan naman ang mga 20.
Ayon Mindanews, sinabi raw ng mga nag imbestiga na mga opisyal na itinapon ng mga di-kilalang mga lalaki ang granada mga 50 metro nag layo sa opisina ng Commission on Election kung saan may ginagawang registration ng mga botante.
Sabi ni Carol Arguillas, publisher ng Mindanews, tinitiyak pa nila ang impormasyon na ang mga nagre-register ay galing sa Linamon, Lanao del Norte.
Nakakapagtaka ito kasi bakit ang mga taga Lanao del Norte ay nasa Marawi nagpa-paregister? Flying voters?

You have to read the first two books of Carmen Guerrero-Nakpil’s trilogy to appreciate the last, “Exeunt”.
The first, which I think is the best of the three titles, is “Myself, Elsewhere” which tells of the genteel little Spanish and later American town of Ermita by Manila Bay where she was born and raised. It ended with the destruction of Manila in 1945.
The book won the National Book Award for autobiography in 2006.
Sampal sa mukha ni Gloria Arroyo ang ginawa ni Prime Minister Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalila ng Bahrain na sa ABS-CBN Foundation binigay ang kanilang P25 milyon na donasyon para sa biktima ng bagyong Ondoy.
Nagmukhang tanga ang pamahalaan ni Arroyo sa turnover ng donasyon noong Biyernes. Biruin nyo sinamahan ni Amable Aguiluz V, Aguiluz, ang special envoy ni Arroyo sa Gulf Cooperation Council, ang sugo ng Bahrain Prime Minister na si Ambassador Yousif Adel Sater sa pagturn-over ng donasyun kay Gina Lopez, managing director ng ABS-CBN Foundation.
Kung matino ang pamahalaan ni Arroyo, dapat sa Malacañang ang turn-over ng donasyun.

Nag-apela si Capt Ruben Guinolbay kay AFP Chief Victor Ibrado na kung maari ibalik rin sa serbisyo ang 40 na enlisted men na tinanggal sa serbisyo sa paratang na kasama raw sila planong magwithdraw ng suporta kay Gloria Arroyo noong Pebrero 2006.
Si Guinolbay ay isa sa 11 opisyal na napawalang-sala noong Huwebes ng court martial na naglilitis sa 28 opisyal na inakusahan ng mutiny o umalsa laban sa pamahalaan ni Gloria Arroyo noong Pebrero 2006.
Pagkatapos ng tatlo at kalahating taon na paglilitis na ang mga akusado ay nakakulong, sinabi ng korte na walang ebidensya laban sa kanila. Ni minsan hindi man lamang sila nabanggit sa kung anong dokumento o testimonya ng mga testigo na naipresenta sa court martial.

A military tribunal yesterday cleared 11 of the 28 military officers facing court martial for the alleged attempt to overthrow the Arroyo administration in February 2006.
Statement of the Magdalo group of officers who are also in detention for the Oakwood and Manila Pen incidents:
We welcome the acquittal of 11 of our brother AFP officers who have languished for more than three years, unjustly detained in several military camps.
We laud the efforts of their defense lawyers, who stuck by these officers despite great odds.
But most of all, we raise our hats to these fine officers and gentlemen, for their unflagging devotion to their principles, and wish them all the best as they continue their service to God and country.
For our other brother officers and lone sister officer still facing the bar of justice, we urge you to stand fast and stay the course.
We sincerely hope that the AFP acts with extreme urgency and utmost fairness in finally bringing the matter to a just and humane conclusion.
Two Marine and nine Army officers were acquitted for lack of evidence.
Magta-tatlong linggo na mula ng hinagupit ni Ondoy ang Metro Manila ngunit marami pa rin ang mga lugar na lubog sa baha.
May natanggap kaming sulat galing kay Cornelio G. Padua, presidente ng Gemsville Homeowners Association sa Barangay Bucal Calamba, Laguna.
Sabi ni Ginoong Padua, “Karamihan sa amin ay mahigit sampung taon ng naninirahan dito sa Gemsville. Sa mahigit sampung taon na iyon ay hindi namin naranasan ang matinding pagbaha sa aming subdivision Subalit itong taon na ito kami po ay nakaranas ng matinding pagbaha na ang tubig ay putik na me kasamang mga bato.

Dagupan City — President Arroyo on Monday created a Special National Public-Private Sector Reconstruction Commission that will study the causes, costs and actions to be undertaken following the devastation by storm “Ondoy” and typhoon “Pepeng”.
Arroyo made the announcement at the Cabinet meeting here where the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) was also convened.
She said the Commission will undertake the rehabilitation plan, raise funds for reconstruction and oversee its implementation, serve as a clearing house for international assistance, and request the United Nations and the World Bank to coordinate an international pledging session.
