[Title] => Ombudsman clears DA chief on fertilizer imports
[Summary] => Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap was excluded by the Office of the Ombudsman in its initial investigation of Department of Agriculture (DA) officials allegedly involved in the procurement of P432 million worth of fertilizers.
But Director Mary Susan Guillermo of the Ombudsman’s preliminary investigation and administrative adjudication bureau directed Yap’s co-respondents to rebut the graft and administrative charges filed by Marlene Esperat last July.

[Title] => NFA’s Yap welcomes probe
[Summary] => Incoming Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap welcomed yesterday an investigation into accusations that he "juggled and realigned" P432 million in government funds when he was National Food Authority (NFA) administrator.
In a statement, Yap described as "baseless and malicious" the charges filed against him by Department of Agriculture (DA) resident Ombudsman Marlene Garcia Esperat.
"I cannot understand why she has to file charges barely two weeks after the announcement of my appointment as secretary of the Department of Agriculture," he said.

[Title] => NFA chief, 9 others face graft charges
[Summary] => National Food Authority (NFA) Administrator Arthur Yap, seven officials of the Department of Agriculture (DA) and two other people were charged with graft before the Ombudsman yesterday over the alleged illegal purchase of P432 million worth of fertilizers.
In a four-page complaint, DA resident Ombudsman Marlene Garcia Esperat alleged that Yap and the other respondents, along with two other private individuals, should be held accountable for graft, technical malversation and gross neglect of duty in conspiring to overprice the purchase of fertilizers.

[Title] => Quality education costs money
[Summary] => The television camera focused on this placard in a student demonstration against tuition fee increases which read: Quality education first before tuition fee increases. My initial reaction was to wonder if these students know what they are asking for. Quality education costs money. It isn't even a chicken and egg situation. You simply must invest money first in order to have a chance at quality education.

[Title] => Don’t talk of love or progress, show me!
[Summary] => All through the speeches that morning, I kept hearing that song in My Fair Lady, a Broadway hit of long ago. The exasperated Eliza Doolittle responds to a lovesick suitor in a song that goes something like this… "don’t talk of stars, don’t talk of love, don’t talk at all… show me!"

[Title] => Our economy needs a stimulus
[Summary] => A labor leader interviewed on a nightly newscast said the country's economy would benefit from the P125 monthly wage demand because it will stimulate the economy. That will put money in the hands of the masses and they will use it to buy essentials such as food and clothing. The economic activities generated by the wage hike will more than compensate local industries for the additional labor costs in terms of increased sales.

[Title] => Narco politics is the scary part
[Summary] => The scary part in our saga of weird events that is transpiring today is the specter of narco politics taking hold on top of everything else. We are talking of people with a despicably ruthless human rights record during the Marcos dictatorship. We are now being told they seem to also have the money to buy political control. Drug trafficking is one hell of a profitable business and together with money laundering, those in it do have the means to do what they want.

[Title] => Where and when did we go wrong?
[Summary] => It could get a little tiresome, perhaps because of the futility of it all. I am talking about how many conversations at social gatherings today seek to analyze what went wrong, when did we start going downhill and, finally, if there is still hope. Middle class professionals are in a state of near despair and I hear the word "migrate" a little too often.

[Title] => Good news for now
[Summary] => Economic Planning Secretary Dante Canlas had reason to smile from ear to ear when we met with him last Friday afternoon. The economy did better than even he thought was possible. This breathing spell is welcome, even if only as a much needed morale booster for this battle weary economic general of the Arroyo administration. Given all the bad news emanating from other ASEAN capitals and even from once mighty Taiwan, the latest economic indicators seem like a cool refreshing rain, a definite welcome break on a hot summer day.
