[Title] => Senators oppose new oil tax
[Summary] => Senate Majority Leader Loren Legarda and Sen. Teresa Aquino Oreta joined colleague Ralph Recto yesterday in opposing an Arroyo administration plan to seek the imposition of an additional P1 tax on oil products.
"It’s only now that the people are getting a respite from market-dictated price increases with the lowering of world crude oil prices. We should not increase pump prices at this time by imposing an additional tax," Legarda said.
She said the collection of a new tax would cause prices of consumer products and services to go up.

[Title] => Oreta bill to allow government workers to negotiate for better benefits
[Summary] => Government employees can go on strike to negotiate for better working conditions and more benefits once the proposed Civil Service Code of the Philippines is passed into law.
Sen. Teresa Aquino Oreta, the bill’s author, said the grounds for the 1.45 million public servants to go on strike are: unfair public sector labor and management practices, mismanagement or abuse by the supervising agency, and graft and corruption.
However, Oreta said government workers in the following services will not be allowed to join strikes:

[Title] => Jeepney phase out plan hit
[Summary] => A proposal of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to ban the importation of second-hand engines and eventually phase out public utility jeepneys (PUJs) in Metro Manila is an anti-poor measure, Sen. Teresa Aquino Oreta said.
Oreta said that considering that most PUJs rely on old engines, the alleged LTO plan to ban imports of used diesel engines would mean curtailing the proliferation of public utility jeepneys and totally phasing them out in the future, leaving buses and FX mega-taxis to ply the streets.

[Title] => Improve basic education before pursuing IT ambition, government told
[Summary] => The Arroyo administration must first resolve basic problems hounding the public education sector before embarking on an ambitious goal to transform the Philippines into Asia's center for information and communications technology (ICT), according opposition Sen. Teresa Aquino Oreta.
Oreta asked how the government can realize its goal of transforming the country into a regional ICT center and churn out highly knowledgeable workers when public schools lack the basic needs for computer education, such as electricity and qualified personnel adept at the use of information technology.

[Title] => Oreta presses for job creation measures
[Summary] => Amid reports that 70,000 Filipinos lost their jobs in the seven months to July, opposition Sen. Teresa Aquino Oreta urged Malacañang yesterday to push a bipartisan initiative aimed at stimulating the economy.
She said there was a need to create enough jobs in the face of a global economic meltdown made worse by the Sept. 11 havoc in the United States.
Oreta said the central role that the Senate minority had played in the speedy passage of the anti-money laundering law shows that opposition lawmakers could again cross party lines.
