Manuel Villar, finance committee chairman, has filed a resolution asking the public services committee to look into possible violations of RA 7295 that provides that rates of telecom firms "must be fair, reflective of a fair return on their investments, reasonable and are not distorted such that the public is adversely affected."

Zamboanga City Mayor Maria Clara Lobregat said the local government would no longer grant permits to any group wishing to use Plaza Pershing as a venue for expressing sentiments  on the ongoing RP-US war exercises dubbed "Balikatan 02-1." She gave no reason for issuing the ban.

As Commander-in-Chief, she had to order the troops to hunt down the cocky rebels who had attacked government camps, killing two colonels and some 30 soldiers, in open defiance of duly constituted authority.


The President had to reject belated calls for a ceasefire in the battle zones in Sulu. It is crazy to agree to a truce – after government troops had suffered heavy casualties in treacherous attacks.

                    [Summary] => ZAMBOANGA CITY – "Balikatan" rallies, whether for or against, will no longer be allowed at the city plaza, named after a US general who suppressed a secessionist Muslim rebellion more than a century ago.


Zamboanga City Mayor Maria Clara Lobregat said the local government would no longer grant permits to any group wishing to use Plaza Pershing as a venue for expressing sentiments  on the ongoing RP-US war exercises dubbed "Balikatan 02-1." She gave no reason for issuing the ban.

                    [Summary] => Year after year, in the spirit of upholding "democracy", we keep repeating the mantra that, under our Constitution, civilian authority must be maintained over the military. Lip service, I’d say, in the wake of the continuing argument over how many generals, "retired" generals,  and other officers are now demanding the "resignation" of President Estrada – or pledging to support him as Commander-in-Chief under the nation’s organic law.
