[Title] => Will Drilon keep post as Senate president when session resumes?
[Summary] => Speculation on whether Senate President Franklin Drilon will remain at the helm is increasing, with barely a week before Congress resumes its session.
Sen. Richard Gordon is staying clear of the Senate leadership issue and has left it up to possible aspirants to take up the challenge.
He did not rule out the possibility of Senators Lito Lapid, Juan Ponce Enrile or Miriam Defensor-Santiago eyeing the post.
Gordon has instead urged his colleagues to work together so the Senate can "move forward."

[Title] => Budget delay imperils salary hike for government workers
[Summary] => The salary increase promised to some 1.1 million government workers is in peril because of the delay in the passage of the 2006 national budget.
Sen. Manuel Villar, chairman of the Senate committee on finance, warned the House of Representatives that the impasse in the deliberations of the budget bill would impact on the plan to grant a salary increase to state workers.
As public servants, Villar advised his former colleagues at the House to speed up deliberations to avoid the impact on government workers.
