                    [Summary] => Ilocos Norte Rep. Roque Ablan Jr. was hurt in a vehicular accident in Beijing, China, according to reports reaching Manila.


Ablan and his wife Vicky were reportedly on their way to the airport to catch their flight to Manila when the accident took place.


Initial reports said the Ilocos congressman was thrown out of their vehicle and was in serious condition. His staff at the House of Representatives would only say that Ablan met a "freak accident" and was brought to the hospital.

                    [Summary] => Speaker Jose De Venecia Jr. has succeeded in securing an assurance from the Hong Kong government that the new wage policy in the territory, which imposes a HK$400 ($51) levy on the monthly pay of foreign maids, will not be imposed on workers with existing contracts.


This means that 153,000 Filipino domestic servants currently working in Hong Kong will be spared from the levy until their contract expires.


The wage cut will, however, be applicable on their next contract and those who will be hired starting April 1.

Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. ordered yesterday a review of the amounts of monthly stipends that these officials are getting in line with President Arroyo’s directive that huge government salaries and other remuneration be cut.


Noel Albano, De Venecia’s spokesman, said the Speaker, who is on a two-day visit in Hawaii, heard the news about the fat allowances and promptly ordered a review.
