[Title] => Most senators expected to keep committees
[Summary] => Unlike in the House of Representatives where there is an intense and a bitter fight for committee chairmanships, most senators are expected to keep their committees.
Sen. Manuel Villar Jr. will continue to chair the finance committee, the panel that scrutinizes the annual budget, and the foreign relations committee, which he inherited from the late senator and Foreign Affairs Secretary Blas Ople.
Sen. Ralph Recto chairs the ways and means committee, which wields the power of life and death over President Arroyo’s tax proposals.

[Title] => The gatekeeper at the Defense Department
[Summary] => It was overheard that this very high-ranking official has just appointed his daughter to a confidential post in the DND Office of the Secretary (OSEC). While this isn’t really irregular due to the fact that it’s a common practice among government officials to "protect" their interests, this official‘s reason for hiring his daughter takes conventional wisdom to new heights. The daughter’s main charge, our ear-spies overheard, is to prevent her father from being accosted, bothered and inveigled by his supposedly numerous mistresses.
