[Summary] => A day after re-filing an old impeachment complaint against three officials of the Commission on Elections, Marcos loyalist lawyer Oliver Lozano trained his guns yesterday on Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez.

[Title] => No more factionalism at Comelec — Abalos
[Summary] => The days of factionalism in the Commission on Elections (Comelec) are over.
This was the proud proclamation made by newly appointed Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos following a meeting yesterday with five commissioners as well as the man he replaced – the central figures in the internal bickering and disputes within the poll body.

[Title] => EDITORIAL - New man at the Comelec
[Summary] => In a month the elections for the Sangguniang Kabataan will be held. We can write off that electoral exercise as a disaster and a waste of taxpayers’ money.
