                    [Summary] => In three years, Bali has been bombed twice – in 2002, a Bali nightclub was bombed; last Saturday, it was three restaurants. It is obvious that the main target of the terrorists are the tourists and not the local people. In that way, they get maximum publicity abroad. Some people say that the next target will be the Philippines. We believe that if it will follow the Indonesian pattern, the next target could  be Boracay. The police should put Boracay on maximum alert.

Dehins pala mapupunta ang pitsa sa mga guro, school buildings, facilities o sa maintenance and operation expenses kundi para lang pala sa picture ni Mayor na ilalagay sa mga notebooks.


Malayo pa naman ang 2007 election Mayor, mukhang naniniguro ka para huwag matalo sa laban.


Eh dehins ka naman artista para ikabit mo ang picture mo sa notebook!

In his weekly radio program aired over GMA-dzBB  yesterday, he called on those pushing for the idea of getting rid of the MMDA to reflect on what they are trying to do.


Without directly addressing Makati Rep. Teddy Boy Locsin, he urged "those behind the move" to study and look back at the time when the law creating the MMDA was passed also by Congress.

The 10,000-strong Manila’s Finest Brotherhood Association, Inc. (MFBAI) said that placing the control and supervision of the police force to local government units (LGUs) will compel local officials to be answerable to the peace and order situation prevailing in their areas of jurisdiction.

He cited Article XVI Section 6 of the Constitution and Republic Act 6975 or the Philippine National Police Law which states that the police force is national in scope.

                    [Summary] => Two days ago, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo approved the Metro Manila Mayor’s proposal to return the administrative control of policemen who are assigned in their respective municipalities. This will undoubtedly improve the performance of the national police assigned in Metro Manila, but it is still not the answer to the problem. How can policemen in Manila or Makati be efficient when they are not from these cities? Today, if you ask a policeman where a street is, he cannot even tell you. His answer will be, "I don’t know. I’m not from here."

During the recent Metro Manila Mayor’s Summit on the Pasig River Rehabilitation Program, the MMDA pointed out that illegal dumping remains the biggest problem of the program.


With a significant number of squatters still living along the riverbanks of the Pasig River, indiscriminate dumping of garbage in the river continues.

                    [Title] => Metro mayors to control police assigned to them
                    [Summary] => Two days ago, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo approved the Metro Manila Mayor’s proposal to return the administrative control of policemen who are assigned in their respective municipalities. This will undoubtedly improve the performance of the national police assigned in Metro Manila, but it is still not the answer to the problem. How can policemen in Manila or Makati be efficient when they are not from these cities? Today, if you ask a policeman where a street is, he cannot even tell you. His answer will be, "I don’t know. I’m not from here."

                    [Summary] => The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority has called on the barangays and non-government organizations to lead the way in the promotion of ecological solid waste management systems in riverside communities.


During the recent Metro Manila Mayor’s Summit on the Pasig River Rehabilitation Program, the MMDA pointed out that illegal dumping remains the biggest problem of the program.


With a significant number of squatters still living along the riverbanks of the Pasig River, indiscriminate dumping of garbage in the river continues.
