[Title] => Don’t cry for me, Jamby
[Summary] => The reaction to the nationally televised sight of Jamby Madrigal sobbing her heart out over what fellow Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile said elicited a lot of guffaws and sarcastic remarks. Considering the reputation the Senate has been having through the past years, people didn’t have much sympathy for the Senadora’s tears, with some giving amused comments like "Sobrang drama naman niyan." Obviously, people are not happy with what’s going on at the Senate with all the drama and grandstanding.

[Title] => British firm gives side on ‘bridges to nowhere’
[Summary] => M&J SIDE: Comes now a representative of British firm Mabey & Johnson to give their side on the controversial "Bridges to Nowhere" that they have been building all over the country under the President’s bridges program.
The M&J man, actually a PR type, said in so many words that the British government was financing the steel spans through a loan, there is no overprice, the bridges are a boon to local transport and commerce, the beneficiary communities are happy, and that any insinuation of hanky-panky is wrong.

[Summary] => ROADS TO FOLLOW: There is this campaign story of congressional candidate promising the townspeople at a miting de avance to build a bridge for them. When the mayor whispered to him that there was no river or creek in the area that might need a span, the candidate was unfazed.
It’s all right," he supposedly went on, "we build the bridge first, then worry about the river later."

[Summary] => GARBAGE OUT: If you missed throwing out your garbage last night along with the noisy departure of the old year, you better do it before this first day of the New Year is over.
The New Year means exactly that – a new beginning. You cannot begin anew if you still carry the garbage of the old year on your back. You deserve, and can claim, a fresh start.
The trash that needs to be thrown out is mostly problems littering your mind. Looking inward, you will discover that the problems troubling you are mostly just in your mind.

[Title] => Bridges to nowhere: A test for Ombudsman
[Summary] => TEST FOR MERCY: Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez, who has pledged to be independent despite her closeness to the First Family, may want to check out information contributed by readers reacting to my Dec. 27 POSTSCRIPT on "Bridges to nowhere."
From readers came raw information that one operator, obviously with connections and logistics, has been able to work out repeated contracts for steel bridges, some of which now stand alone leading to nowhere since no roads connect to them.
