A Cory Aquino and Franklin Drilon plot to assasinate Gloria Macapagal Arroyo?

...yan ang sabi ni Miriam. She must be off her medication again. LOL.

But the Malaya Editorial is not laughing though...

- Ellen Tordesillas says the situation at DFA is a mess. And Sec. Alberto Romulo's attempt to defend Amando Doronila's appointment to the EU was pathetic raw.

- Conrad de Quiros' on Arroyo's "State Secrets".

- Duterte kakalas sa Arroyo administration?

- Alecks Pabico of PCIJ has an article on the hidden costs of resettling 40,000 North Rail families.

- JB Baylon: When presidents lie - and continue to lie - we all lose.

- P4.9B winaldas ng administration

Umaabot sa P4.9 bilyong pera ni Juan dela Cruz ang winaldas o ilegal na ginastos ng ilang mga opisyal at empleyado ng pamahalaan.

Ito ay batay sa report ng Commission on Audit na isinumite sa House committee on appropriation na kasalukuyang nagsagawa ng pagdinig kaugnay sa 2006 proposed budget ng pamahalaan.

Ayon kay Rep. Rolando Andaya, chairman ng komite, ito umano ang tinatawag na "disallowed expenditures" o ang irregular, unnecessary, excessive at extravagant na paggamit ng pondo.

Inihalimbawa ni Andaya na kabilang sa tinatawag na disallowed expenditures ay ang unofficial overseas phone call sa mga hindi awtorisadong foreign travel ng mga government official.

Dahil dito, iginiit ni Andaya na kailangan agad na ma-reimbursed ng sinumang opisyal at empleyado ng pamahalaan na gumawa nito.

Naniniwala ang kongresista na sakaling mabawi ang mga ilegal na nagastos na pondo ng pamahalaan, malaki ang maitutulong nito sa kinakaharap na financial crisis ng bansa.

Well, I chanced upon the news where Meriam says that she will shoot herself in the head. How about the one where she would jump out of a plane. Yes, she is off her medication again I guess.
