[Title] => Farmers, teachers join impeachment complaint
[Summary] => Forty-eight public school teachers and several farmers joined yesterday the 300 or so complainants in the impeachment complaint against President Arroyo, saying they want her ousted from office primarily on charges of poll fraud.
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers’ Antonio Tinio, son of the late National Artist Rolando Tinio, said that as "teachers and education sector employees, we will do our share in trying to convince the members of the House (of Representatives) to stand up for truth and justice by signing the impeachment complaint."

[Title] => Constitution allows military to grab power, says Cha-cha advocates
[Summary] => The 1987 Constitution has given disgruntled members of the military the "moral license" to grab power from duly elected officials, advocates of Charter change said yesterday.
An article in the Constitution allows the military to interpret its role as the sole defender and "protector of the people and the State," Advocacy Commission for Charter Change (ad-com) chairman Lito Monico Lorenzana said.
Unless the Charter is rewritten and amended, Lorenzana said soldiers would continue to invoke this right and military adventurism will never stop.

[Title] => Palace, Australia, private sector defend Lafayette
[Summary] => The Australian government, Malacañang and the private sector defended Australian mining company Lafayette NL yesterday after its closure was recommended by a fact-finding commission led by a Catholic bishop, saying the Philippines needs to continue developing the mining industry or lose opportunities for economic growth.
While the Australian government seeks the reopening of Lafayette as soon as possible, the Palace said there must be "fairness and reason" in dealing with mining investors to avoid loss of confidence from the international investment community.

[Title] => Mercury scare just ‘invented,’ says Albay vice gov
[Summary] => Albay Vice Gov. James Calisin said yesterday President Arroyo was duped into releasing P10 million to some Sorsogon towns and forming an independent commission for non-existent reasons.
In a statement, Calisin said the alleged mercury scare in Sorsogon was "an invention of a few key persons in Sorsogon and anti-mining groups for their own vested interests, including blocking Lafayette’s Rapu-Rapu project and at the same time to generate undeserved revenues." Rapu-Rapu is in Albay.

[Summary] => President Arroyo ordered yesterday the release of P17.5 billion in internal revenue allotment (IRA) to local government units — or the LGUs’ share of the tax money collected by the national government — owed them by the past two administrations.
