DON’T change horses in midstream. Isang matandang kasabihan na ang ibig sabihin ay sa kalagitnaan ng labanan, huwag magbabago ng estratehiya o taktika. Kasi, kung nasa gitna ka ng ilog at sumakay ka sa ibang kabayo, baka mahulog ka at malunod.

[Title] => 42 Senate bets up for disqualification await final word from Comelec
[Summary] =>
The Commission on Election (Comelec) clarified yesterday that the 42 senatorial candidates reported eliminated from the May 2007 elections are not yet officially out of the race.
Rather, the idependent bets have only failed the initial screening of the poll body’s law department and that final decision lies with the Comelec en banc, said lawyer Josslyn de Mesa of the Comelec’s law department.
"It’s not yet final. The (Comelec) en banc has the final say, not the law department," De Mesa told The STAR.

[Title] => Senate race shifts to battle of the spokesmen
[Summary] =>
The battle of spokespersons for the administration’s Team Unity and the opposition’s Grand Coalition kicked off yesterday with this question: "Who is more good-looking?"
While the two coalitions’ spokespersons preferred to be spared from being compared with each other and asked the press to focus on issues, the two did not escape teasing from journalists, especially since elections in the Philippines are often personality-based.

[Summary] =>
"Politics" is really a wholesome and decent term. To be sure, it is essentially the art or science of good government, the application of the skills and knowledge in running the affairs of the State. In the early years of this Republic, many Filipinos were attracted and interested in politics because it was associated with sincere and dedicated public service.

KAWAWANG Tito Sotto at Tessie Oreta. Ngayong nasa partido na sila ng administrasyon, ang Unity Ticket, inaakusahan silang "balimbing" ng mga dating kaalyado. Halos pati sariling buhay ay itinaya para kay Erap, isinuka sila ng oposisyon.
In fairness, biktima sila ng magulong intrigahan sa partido ng oposisyon na kung tawagin dati ay United Opposition (UNO). Pero dahil ito’y sabog, pinalitan na ito ng "Grand Coalition."
