[Summary] => PHNOM PENH — Barely had four-dozen Asian leaders assembled here to declare a new role of peace brokering when they were quickly put to the test.

[Title] => Dialogue of civilizations in Manila
[Summary] => Speaker JDV was smiling from ear to ear as he greeted the celebrity studded group of religious and political leaders from around the world to an interfaith dialogue yesterday at the Manila Hotel. With him were the other two pillars of the Lakas-CMD triumvirate — President GMA and former President Fidel V. Ramos. There is no doubt that the international gathering strengthened not only the Party but also its platform of charter change. Now it has a worldwide audience.

[Title] => Weak knees
[Summary] => The metaphor is so apt. Once again Filipinos are being misled by their leaders by focusing the debate on Erap’s weak knees. Yet it can be said it is not Erap who needs to be treated urgently for his ‘weak knees’, but the senators and congressmen petitioning for his escape abroad, for their weak knees. And this condition was best stated by surprise, surprise – Butz Aquino – the once admired younger brother of the martyred hero, Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino who was among the leaders of EDSA 1.

[Title] => The short- & long-term solution is to abolish the Senate
[Summary] => What cheek. What crazy system is this that would allow the likes of Tessie Aquino Oreta and Sonny Osmeña, the balato kids, to come back from the dregs of the failed Erap impeachment process to attempt and derail government because they are senators of the land? Did we have a revolution or didn’t we have one? See what I mean.

[Title] => Principled stand for Balikatan 2002 in Basilan
[Summary] => President Gloria might have saved herself from troubles arising from her decision to allow US troops in Basilan had she tackled the issue differently. It would have been far wiser had she enunciated a principled stand for Balikatan 2002 through a policy statement from her party, the Centrist Democrats. As it is Balikatan 2002 is beginning to look more and more like her personal crusade which should not be the case.

[Title] => Party line for RP's Centrist Democrats
[Summary] => While some are gnashing their teeth in frustration that political reforms in the Philippines seem headed for nowhere, small steps are being taken unnoticed. One small step I wish to acknowledge and make known to more people is the publication of The Party Line which aims to be the official organ of the Lakas-NUCD-UMDP or the Centrist Democrats in short, the alternative name for Christian Democrats. As the ruling party, it needs to consolidate its platform, a recognizable ground plan through which we might be able to say whether they deserve a new mandate come elections 2004.

[Title] => A new name for Lakas-NUCD-UMDP – Centrist Democrats
[Summary] => Poor President Gloria. She is buffeted from all quarters. I hope she remains unfazed by the criticism. Here’s another unsolicited advice: While she should take note of the criticisms, she must not be overwhelmed. She alone must decide what kind of leadership she wants to assert. Politics in this country is treated like a sport – kailangang may bakbakan – otherwise what is the game for? I am sure that if President Arroyo were to posture as a leader, it will be said that we don’t need a leader we need a manager.
