[Title] => GMA: 3 years to win war vs graft
[Summary] => President Arroyo gave herself yesterday three years to win the war against corruption and vowed to achieve what Hong Kong, through an independent anti-corruption commission, was able to accomplish in seven years.
In a speech during the launching of a corruption prevention project to be funded by the European Commission (EC) yesterday, the President said that with political will the country can duplicate the achievement of Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
Through ICAC, Hong Kong has become one of the most honest societies in Asia.
"We shall win this war against corruption, hopefully in three years, and most hopefully by the end of my term through better investigation, electronic procurement, stricter bidding, anti-corruption education and other strategies," Mrs. Arroyo said.
The EC is funding the government’s anti-corruption project through a grant of 2.9 million euros (P203 million) over a period of three years. The Office of the Ombudsman contributed 600,000 euros as the counterpart fund.

[Title] => CPP, NPA want Arroyo to ask US, Europe to take them off terror lists
[Summary] => Communist guerrillas asked President Arroyo yesterday to lobby for their removal from US and European Union terrorist lists, warning that the terror label may hamper talks to end their 35-year-old insurgency.
The chief rebel negotiator in the Norwegian-brokered peace talks, Luis Jalandoni said it was "utterly baseless and malicious" — and a violation of Philippine sovereignty — to include the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its 8,600-member armed wing, the New People’s Army, in US and EU lists of international terrorist organizations.
