[Summary] => President Arroyo’s allies in the House of Representatives received additional pork barrel funding of up to P35 million each last year, Majority Leader Prospero Nograles confirmed yesterday.

[Title] => Minimum-wage earners still have to pay taxes, lawmaker says
[Summary] => President Arroyo’s order exempting minimum wage earners from the 10-percent withholding tax does not mean these taxpayers will not have to pay taxes, the chairman of the House ways and means committee clarified yesterday.
"It only means that their employers will not be deducting the 10-percent tax from their salaries from January to November. But in December, workers will have to pay the entire amount of income taxes due for the whole year," said Tarlac Rep. Jesli Lapus.

An opposition leader in the House of Representatives reminded pro-administration Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago yesterday that he received a higher grade than her in the Bar examinations.

[Title] => Cha-cha consultative commission illegal, says House leader
[Summary] => An opposition lawmaker said yesterday the consultative commission (con-com) on Charter change created by President Arroyo is "illegal" and a waste of taxpayers’ money.
In a privilege speech, Deputy Minority Leader Rolex Suplico said under the Constitution, it is only Congress than can create an agency or office and appropriate public funds for it.
"Section 29 of Article VI (of the Constitution) provides that ‘no money shall be paid out of the treasury except pursuant of an appropriation made by law,’" he said, quoting the Charter.
