                    [Summary] => 



Former social welfare secretary Dinky Soliman took the cudgels for her fellow impeachment complainant Josefina Lichauco, claiming the revival of graft charges against the former transportation secretary is simple political harassment. 


The Supreme Court’s recent recommendation to Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez to "reinstate" the corruption charges against Lichauco is obviously impeachment-related, she said.


Soliman and Lichauco were among the former Cabinet officials seeking the ouster of President Arroyo.

Impeachment complainants can stop hoping for a miracle, House Majority Leader Prospero Nograles of Davao City said yesterday.


"They have tried exorcism, garlic, etc. They have tried everything but it didn’t work. I don’t think it will work. The miracle is not likely to happen. Maybe it’s better that we abandon the impeachment complaint," Nograles said.

The Municipal Telephone Project Office (MTPO) expects to bring down the cost of
