[Title] => P2-billion ‘pork’ released this week
[Summary] => The Department of Budget and Management promised yesterday to release at least P2 billion this week in congressional pork barrel funds to appease pork-hungry House members.
Budget Secretary Emilia Boncodin made the promise in a closed-door meeting with congressmen which Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. arranged to quell a brewing revolt over delayed releases of pork barrel funds.
The complaining lawmakers were threatening to hold President Arroyo’s proposed P804-billion 2003 budget hostage unless their funds were released.

[Title] => House ‘detains’ solons to ensure quorum
[Summary] => Like schoolchildren being prevented from leaving the classroom, congressmen were "detained" by House leaders yesterday to keep them in the session hall and ensure a quorum for budget deliberations.
When the chamber finally mustered a quorum yesterday afternoon since floor debates on the 2002 budget opened last week, Deputy Speaker for Visayas Raul Gonzalez ordered the sergeant-at-arms to close all exits.
