[Title] => Has the daredevil RAM-rod and chronic putschists luck finally run out?
[Summary] =>
Perhaps it can be said that former Senator and ex-Colonel Gregorio "Gringo" Honasan made it his career to plan military putsches. Handsome, articulate, totally charming Honasan looked and acted like a character picked by Hollywood out of central casting.

[Title] => Susmariosep! Even Rosebud is running for mayor of Manila
[Summary] =>
As predicted in this column yesterday morning, Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson announced his candidacy for mayor of Manila a few hours later at our friend Neal Cruzs Kapihan sa Manila.
Lacson revealed his plan to run earlier than I had expected, and alleged that he had made a decision "after much soul searching after several restless days and sleepless nights . . ." (He should have taken valium or stilnox).

Many people have been speculating over the resignation of Defense Secretary Avelino "Nonong" Cruz, who had been La Presidentas lawyer and served in her Cabinet for six years and nine months. He did a fine job as Defense Secretary, but he apparently decided when he outspokenly called the Palace-sponsored "Peoples Initiative" a "harebrained idea," it was time to go.

Sorry, Miriam you may cuss me out if you will but I dont believe its dignified for anybody, even one who spent years in the judiciary and is now a Senator, to publicly "apply" to become the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

What blabbermouths we are in this country! La Presidenta GMA accepted "defeat" gracefully by making a sober comment, no resentment in her voice, on the Supreme Courts 8-7 decision which junked the "Peoples Initiative." This was La Gloria without the taray pout so often attributed to her.

You dont have to be a political swami to realize that Secretary Yap, Director General up to yesterday of the Presidential Management Staff (PMS), was bumped out of the Palace by very influential men. True, he was named to the Cabinet post from where he originally came, that of Secretary of Agriculture.
