Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said yesterday the list of new appointees had been completed and that their names would be announced in a "matter of days."

"I know there are a few already signed by the President, in the next few days hopefully there may be some announcements," he said.

The standard operating procedures would have to be followed before any announcement could be made, he added.

Malacañang, however, denied knowledge of any lobbying, with Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye saying only that President Arroyo had not yet signed the appointment papers for the next Navy chief.

Bunye would not explain why.

But there seems to be a truce following the provisional release of National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales from Senate detention, and at least we’re spared from witnessing another banana-eating episode.

The congressional furor over the Venable lobbying deal has also curiously died down. Did someone whisper the identities of the anonymous financiers to certain senators? This looks like another congressional probe that will end up nowhere.
