[Title] => Comelec chief urges Congress to pass election modernization law
[Summary] => Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Benjamin Abalos called on Congress yesterday to pass a law allowing automated elections in 2007.
"We should already be preparing for the 2007 elections at this time if we are to use automated machines so we are asking Congress to define whether we are for modernization or not," he said in an interview.
Abalos said the Omnibus Elections Code only provides for manual delivery of election results, preventing the Comelec from using electronic transmission technology.

[Title] => Regionalizing DepEd’s payroll office: Almost an impossible dream
[Summary] => When former Cebu first district Rep. Jose Gullas filed House Bill 2542 in August 2001, he was warned by his colleagues that he would meet stiff opposition from various sectors.
In fact, they told him several influential legislators would immediately strike down his bill once it was filed. Undaunted, he resolutely pushed his bill and passionately argued for its approval in a series of hearings conducted by Rep. Edmundo Reyes Jr., chairman of the House committee on basic education.

[Title] => GMA signs EO imposing additional P.5-M specific duty on used imported cars
[Summary] => As the Court of Appeals lifted the ban on the importation of used vehicles, President Arroyo has issued an executive order imposing an additional P500,000 specific duty on second-hand cars citing the need to mitigate the impact of such trading on air quality and road safety.
Executive Order No. 418, signed by the President on April 4 or a few days before Congress resumed session on April 11, modifies the tariff nomenclature and rates of import duty on used motor vehicles under Section 104 of the Tariff and Customs Code of 1978.

[Title] => Ex-DFA chief named Arroyo adviser
[Summary] => President Arroyo has appointed former foreign affairs secretary Delia Albert as her presidential adviser for multilateral cooperative development.
Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita told The STAR yesterday that the details of the assignment, which would catapult Albert back into the inner circles of the Arroyo administration, are still being worked out.
But the career diplomat is expected to put her long experience in the service to handle matters related to the grants the country would receive from multilateral institutions and donor countries.

[Title] => Lawmakers back Baja’s retention in UN post
[Summary] => Crossing partylines, at least 60 lawmakers signed yesterday a manifesto urging Pre-sident Arroyo to retain Ambassador Lauro Baja as the country’s permanent representative to the United Nations.
Pulling out Baja to be replaced by outgoing Foreign Affairs Secretary Delia Albert would send a wrong message to the international community, said Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers, Camarines Sur Rep. Felix Alfelor and Cagayan de Oro Rep. Constantino Jaraula, who represented the signatories in a press conference.
