[Title] => ‘Digs’ finally shuts up, retires from politics
[Summary] => 
After losing in the Senate elections and telling all and sundry to shut up, outgoing Maguindanao Rep. Didagen Dilangalen is packing his bags in Congress and getting ready to exchange political bombast for some peace and quiet.
The controversial opposition legislator said he is now seriously considering permanent retirement and has advised the Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino (KNP) not to pursue any other protest actions to stop President Arroyo from assuming a full six-year term on June 30.

[Title] => ‘Tally now defective, lopsided’
[Summary] => Opposition Sen. Edgardo Angara said yesterday the congressional canvass has become "anomalous, defective and lopsided" with the walkout on Friday night of lawyers of presidential candidates Fernando Poe Jr. and evangelist Eddie Villanueva.
"President Arroyo’s allies can now run their express train faster to railroad the canvass and proclamation, but it will be a bogus proclamation," he said.

[Title] => Drilon: Congress will never open ERs
[Summary] => Senate President Franklin Drilon said yesterday the congressional canvassing committee can never agree to the opposition proposal for the opening of the precinct-level election returns (ERs) and their use in the tabulation of votes for president and vice president.
"If we do that, we will never finish this canvass," he said.
He said there are more than 200,000 ERs and examining these documents could take years.
Besides, scrutinizing the election return is the job of the Supreme Court sitting as the President Electoral tribunal, he added.

[Title] => Arroyo retakes lead in canvass
[Summary] => It has been a see-saw battle so far between President Arroyo and opposition front-runner Fernando Poe Jr. as canvassing of votes entered the sixth day yesterday.
Mrs. Arroyo regained her lead at the last minute, overtaking Poe by 27,262 votes.
As this developed, the certificate of canvass (COC) from Camarines Norte earlier reported missing from its ballot box last June 2 turned up in the province’s second ballot box during yesterday’s canvassing.

[Title] => This time it’s Joker vs Digs
[Summary] => Even with the one-week delay caused by constant debates over the rules governing the canvassing of votes, lawmakers have gone from nit-picking over procedures down to being trivial.
Opposition lawmaker Maguindanao Rep. Didagen Dilangalen figured in another verbal tussle, this time with administration Sen. Joker Arroyo.
Their heated exchange of words in the plenary joint session of Congress late yesterday afternoon resulted in the delay of the canvassing by almost two hours.

While Congress is locked in debates on rules to be adopted in the official vote count, Aquino, in a statement, called on the opposing legislators yesterday to reach a common ground so canvassing can start.

Sinabi kahapon nina Deputy Speaker Raul Gonzalez (Iloilo) at Rep. James Gordon (Zambales) na personal na desisyon pa lamang ng kanilang "acting chairman" na si Villar ang panukalang ampunin si Lacson at hindi ito sentimiyento ng mga miyembro ng NP.

[Title] => So who’s afraid of ‘Da King’?
[Summary] => In his movies, Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ) often plays roles where he’s up against enemies who throw him brickbats. Insults, particularly when uttered in the presence of the actor’s love interest, trigger Poe’s patented rapid-fire punches to the scumbag’s solar plexus. Woe to the human punching bag — Poe always emerges the victor.
The Poe on the silver screen is no different from Poe in the flesh, his friends and associates say.
