Amid the possible relief of Manila Police District (MPD) director Senior Superintendent Danilo Abarzosa over the handling of the hostage crisis, some senior police officers have reportedly started jockeying for his post.

Although Malacañang is seeking a two-percent increase in the VAT, President Arroyo will not intervene to break the impasse, Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said.

"Let’s just say that we’re still hoping (that Congress will pass a 12-percent VAT)," he said. "We think the President has already stated her position enough… But if it is necessary, we will reiterate that we clearly want a 12-percent VAT."

Malacañang announced yesterday that as part of the government’s austerity measures, the centralized air-conditioning system in at least four buildings there will be switched off at certain hours of the day.

In a faxed message sent to Malacañang reporters, Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said that centralized air-conditioning will be shut down at Mabini Hall, Kalayaan Hall and the Tahanan ng Masa from 12 noon to 1 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 a.m. of the following day.

Lawyer Noel Malaya said the defense will file today a "leave of court" to file demurrer — a motion in which they will ask permission to file a demurrer, which is a waiver of their right to present evidence.

Malaya said they want to seek court approval first because filing a demurrer directly would be "too risky."
