[Title] => FBI says Russians were a 'new breed' of spy
[Summary] => Anna Chapman wasn't just a member of one of the largest rings of Russian sleeper agents ever rolled up by the FBI, officials say. The 29-year-old former real estate agent, who became a lingerie model and corporate spokeswoman back in Moscow, represented a new breed of Russian spies adapted to the post-Cold War world.

[Title] => Who’s this ‘Queen of the South’?
[Summary] => Our spyring in Cebu disclosed recently that there is a big demand for flip-top reds of a very popular cigarette brand and Mild Seven cigarettes. According to our ear-spies, about 500 boxes are needed in a week for "export" through Cebu. These are locally made cigarettes, not fakes from China. On the side of "imports," have you ever wondered why there’s a deluge of cars in the country – SUVs, motorcycles, delivery vans, small trucks, and other automobiles coming in from Cebu?

[Title] => Prelude to the big one
[Summary] => According to our spyring, people are speculating that the Oakwood mutiny and the NAIA Control Tower take-over are just front acts for an imminent bigger threat. According to our ear-spies, truckloads of high-power arms and ammunition were seen coming in at Fort San Felipe, Sangley Point in Cavite a few weeks before the NAIA 2 Tower takeover. Our ear-spies overheard from very reliable sources that the signal for the military adventurists to make their countrywide move will be a statement aired over MTB and Eat Bulaga noontime shows.

[Title] => Not necessarily a long-distance retirement
[Summary] => It seems that PLDT’s loss is the media’s gain. According to our ear-spies, a number of people are hailing incoming media baron Antonio "Tony Boy" Cojuangco as one of the best things that happened to ABC-5 and the news and broadcasting industry in general. Our ear-spies overheard that Cojuangco is pleased with his decision, knowing too that he will be leaving PLDT with an P11-billion net headway before 2003 ends.

[Title] => Davide and Goliath
[Summary] => The 10-day caesura in Congress might just be the blessing this country needs at the moment. With all the elemental problems in Congress still hanging by a thread, the Davide impeachment, according to our ear-spies, is a problem a majority of the public would rather do without, especially during election season. Not because they are taking sides, mind you, but because it’s giving the impression that some members of the civilian leadership are screwing up the country for the sake of partisan interests.

[Title] => Philippine Chamber of Politics
[Summary] => Who is the head of one of the committees of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry who allegedly doesn’t know anything about the task of his committee other than to sit on his chair? To expand his horizons, according to our ear-spies, he got as his consultant a person, who, like himself, has a convoluted view of what his task is all about. Now that the elections for president of PCCI is just around the corner, Mr. Benchwarmer and his consultant are actively campaigning to get less than 650 votes in the coming PCCI presidential bid.

[Title] => ‘Insurance’ foundation
[Summary] => How and why foundations exist and operate is always an issue worth discussing. Take for example this famous foundation that seems to "misunderstand" how they should manage and handle donations and grants. Rumor from our spying has it has this foundation gives commissions to the external staff who solicits donations from the public. According to our ear-spies, some insiders are troubled because anywhere in the world, donations cannot be treated as a source of commissions since foundations are not based on profit but goodwill.

[Title] => Battered Kris
[Summary] => It seems, the Jose Pidal case is forced to take a "backseat" for the more juicy love story of Joey Marquez-Kris Aquino, which ended traumatically for Kris at the Philippine National Police Headquarters in Camp Crame. Anyway, according to our ear-spies, someone very close to Kris Aquino revealed the former Presidential daughter was slapped by the Mayor of Parañaque a few months back, but she chose to keep it to herself. Obviously, this time, Kris made sure it would never happen again.

[Summary] => According to our ear-spies, there’s a brewing friction between the US Secret Service and local intelligence agencies on security preparations for US President George W. Bush’s visit on Oct. 18. Our ear-spies overheard that there’s a virtual "tug-’o-war" between the US Secret Service and the Presidential Security Group (PSG) on the issue of who will take the lead role in protecting the US President.
