[Title] => One flew over the coup-coup’s nest
[Summary] => The irrepressible Filipino sense of humor can only be matched by their passion for Friday night gimmicks. The following words were overheard by our ear-spies when rebel troops started changing their clothes to leave Oakwood a few hours before the president’s five o’clock ultimatum: "Rebel leaders who studied in La Salle Greenhills were picking off clothes and shoes from Prada, Versace, Armani, Lacoste, Paul Smith, & Gucci." On the other hand, enlisted men allegedly looted Shoemart’s Pour Homme.

[Title] => Taking a bullet for one’s country
[Summary] => Tom Friedman, New York Times’ respected columnist wrote a beautiful piece he called, "Medal of Honor" to pay tribute to Al Gore after he gave his concession speech. He starts the column with Al Gore’s admission that when he was in Vietnam he never saw much combat. "Throughout his presidential campaign , though, he insisted he wanted to ‘fight " for every American. Well, Wednesday night, in his concession speech, Mr. Gore took a bullet for the country.

[Title] => Absentee Voting batas na
[Summary] => Ganap nang batas ang Absentee Voting Bill matapos lagdaaan kahapon ni Pangulong Arroyo. Nangangahulugan ito na puwede nang makaboto sa halalan sa taong 2004 ang mga Pilipinong manggagawa sa ibang bansa kabilang na yaong permanenteng residente o green card holder kung magpapalabas sila ng affidavit na babalik sila sa Pilipinas para pirmihang manirahan sa loob ng 3 taon.
Sa ilalim ng batas na ito, ang mga Pinoy sa ibang bansa ay maaari nang makaboto sa napipisil nilang kandidatong presidente, bise presidente, senador at sectoral representatives.

[Title] => Absentee voting bill signed today

[Title] => Senate rejects key anti-money launder law amendments
[Summary] => The Senate decided last night to uphold the secrecy of bank deposits and other financial transactions, rejecting or watering down most of the amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) endorsed by the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., on the other hand, was able to have a House caucus for the passage of the amendments to the AMLA and the ratification of the Absentee Voting Bill to enable President Arroyo to sign the two measures into law by tomorrow, the deadline set by the FATF for the government to amend the AMLA.

[Title] => Cha-cha to void absentee voting?
[Summary] => Sen. Aquilino Pimentel Jr. dismissed fears yesterday that Charter change (Cha-cha) — through which a parliamentary form of government can be adopted — will void the absentee voting rights of overseas Filipinos.
This developed as President Arroyo is set to sign into law next week the Absentee Voting Bill as soon as the House of Representatives ratifies the reconciled version of the bill approved by the bicameral conference committee last Tuesday.

Ngayon ay maitatanong na kung ano ang kahihinatnan ng election. Maging malinis kaya, mabilis at maayos o katulad pa rin ng dati na batbat ng pandaraya. Kilala ang ating bansa sa pandaraya kung election.
Noong Martes ay inaprubahan na ang Absentee Voting Bill. Maitatanong kung handa na nga ba ang Comelec dito. Hindi kaya palpak?

[Summary] => EMPTY PROMISE: It’s now dawning on overseas Filipinos that the Absentee Voting Bill pieced together by a hurrying bicameral committee may be so legally flawed that it could end up as an invalid vote of confidence for them.
The main defect appears to be the bill’s manner of granting voting rights to Filipino immigrants who are already permanent residents of other countries.
