Napaka-garapal ang nangyari sa Makati noong Biyernes. Marami tuloy ang nagtatanong kung sino ang conductor o nagkukumpas.
Noong Biyernes ng mga 8 ng gabi, dumating si Local Government Secretary Marius Corpuz sa Makati City Hall at nagdeliver ng 90-day suspension order kay Binay. Order daw Ni Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez, ang kaklase ni Mike Arroyo.
Ito pa rin ang kaso ng sinasabi nilang ghost employees daw ni Binay. Maala-ala natin na ito ang ginamit nila noong Oktubre para alisin si Binay sa Makati ngunit hindi umubra dahil nag-people power ang mga tao sa Makati. Nang malaman nilang hindi aatras si Binay at mukhang lalaki pa ang rally, umatras sila.
Antonio Trillanes IV, senatorial candidate of the Genuine Opposition, has admitted that four years of detention has sharpened his understanding of the political crisis confronting the country today.
In an interview in his detention cell in Camp Bonifacio, Trillanes offers no apology to what he and some 300 members of the Magdalo group did last July 27, 2003, which was to declare a withdrawal of support from a president who they believe betrayed the trust of the people.
Makati Mayor Jojo Binay joined last Friday’s march for Jayjay Burgos, who was abducted more than a week ago.
We noticed that during the hike from Pioneer st. in Mandaluyong to the Edsa Shrine in Quezon City, Binay was constantly on the phone. Little did we know that a few hours later, we would be called to rally for him as the devious tentacles of Gloria and Mike Arroyo tried again to grab power in Makati.
Binay was at the march for Jayjay as a member of the Movement of Attorneys for Brotherhood, Integrity and Nationalism, Inc. (MABINI), a lawyers group that gave free legal assistance for victims of Marcos’ dictatorship. Other Mabini members at the march that we recognized were former Sen. Rene Saguisag, former Environment Secretary Fulgencio Factoran, and Ed Araullo.
Suspension deferred; bank freeze lifted
By Ashzel Hachero and Victor Reyes
THE government today backtracked on its offensives against re-electionist Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay, leader of the United Opposition.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue lifted the garnishment order on banks where the Makati government holds accounts, except in the Philippine Veterans’ Bank.
Makunsyensa dapat si Gloria Arroyo at ang kanyang mga utak pulbura na mga galamay na sina AFP Chief of Staff Hermogenes Esperon at Gen (ret.). Jovito Palparan sa nangyari sa Bocaue Bulacan noong isang araw kung saan namatay ang isang sundalo.
Magkakaiba ang bersyon ng nangyari,depende kung sino ang pakinggan mo ngunit ang klaro may napatay na sundalo. Si Cpl. Leonardo Pataray, 34 taong gulang.
Si Pataray ay kasama sa grupo na nagdidikit daw ng posters ng Bantay party list ni Palparan. Nakasagupa nila ang grupo dating Bocaue Mayor Eduardo (Jon-jon) Villanueva, Jr., anak ni Bro. Eddie Villanueva ng Jesus is Lord Movement.
Last Friday, two important street events were held at the same time. One was the motorcade in Makati organized by the Women for Trillanes movement and the other one was the march for Jayjay Burgos who was abducted last Saturday (April 28) at Ever Gotesco in Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City.

Independent senatorial candidate Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan said he had a 15-minute meeting with President Macapagal-Arroyo in Malacañang Thursday night where he sought to “clear the air” about his cases at the justice department.
The President responded by saying: “If you think you are innocent, then go through due process,” Honasan said, quoting Ms Arroyo.
