[Title] => Stop to jueteng inquiry sought
[Summary] => The House of Representatives urged the Senate yesterday to stop its inquiry into allegations that President Estrada received more than P500 million in jueteng payola and tax kickback.
The request is contained in Resolution 1836 introduced by the committee on justice and which the larger chamber approved.
The principal basis for the appeal is because an impeachment complaint against the President is now pending in the justice committee, and that such complaint could eventually be sent to the Senate for trial.

[Title] => RP-wide strike set Nov. 30
[Summary] => Moderate and militant labor unions are planning a nationwide strike on or before Nov. 30, Bonifacio Day, to keep up the pressure for President Estrada to resign, an opposition congressman said yesterday.

[Title] => A fight over jueteng spoils, solons say
[Summary] => Opposition congressmen said yesterday the fight between Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson and presidential friend Charlie "Atong" Ang "is basically a division of the jueteng spoil gone awry."
"Like all conflicts, this one broke out when the demand for jueteng profits oustripped the supply, resulting in a vicious turf war. It is a case of one erstwhile partner in the jueteng empire resisting the expansionist designs of another," the solons said in a joint statement.
