"We should always take a posture of humility, we must run scared," De Venecia told Pangasinan reporters in his residence here.

Of the 236 congressmen, De Venecia said 182 are supporting his new bid as speaker, well over the required 119 votes to clinch anew the fourth highest elective position in the land.

Speaking at a gathering of Christian Democratic leaders from 72 countries in Mexico City, the President noted that the Philippines has approved an anti-money laundering law designed to make it more difficult for terrorists to have access to money. Present during the gathering were Mexican President Vicente Fox and Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.

Contrary to some opinion, it ought not to be considered as a mere side-trip. As the titular head of the Lakas-NUCD-UMDP, the statement she makes there will be noted by the rest of the world that are not encompassed by ASEAN or Washington. The Christian Democrats, led in the Philippines by Speaker Jose de Venecia, has a wider reach that includes major political parties in Europe and Latin America.

Corona expects a boost in confidence in the local financial markets, which were already closed when the Supreme Court released its 13-0 vote to uphold President Arroyo’s administration late Friday.

Pedrosa [Summary] => A campaign for intelligent voting among the masa must be accompanied by real reforms. There is a lot of huffing and puffing to educate voters this coming May elections from what has come to be known as civil society. The rationale of these activities is sound. The thinking goes that if Filipinos can mass at EDSA and act as one in ousting a corrupt and incompetent president, it can and should be able to do the same at elections.

Pedrosa [Summary] => It’s time to release a basic document on her party’s platform. It is worrying that up to this time there seems to be no definitive paper on the Lakas-NUCD-UMDP party platform or the People Power Coalition. The same is true with the pro-Erap opposition coalition now called ‘Puwersa ng Masa.’ Both seem to be nothing more than an assemblage of personalities that are mainly anti-Erap or pro-Erap. Just like old times and old politics.
