The Partido ng Manggagawa is calling on President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to categorically declare that she is stepping down from power once her term ends in 2010 and that she will not push for a Constituent Assembly.

The situation has so deteriorated that foreign troops have been called in to help the beleaguered East Timorese government. This is the second time foreign troops have been called in this year to help restore order. Earlier, troops from New Zealand were flown into Fiji to help discourage a coup attempt by a rebellious military faction.

A small band of self-appointed guardians of "truth", running out of gimmicks in their cupboard to sustain media interest, have decided to undertake a mockery of our judicial processes by convening what they call a "People’s Court." As part of that ridiculous effort, the small band made their way to the Palace gates to serve the President a "subpoena".
