[Title] => GMA’s allies in House fail to take over
[Summary] => Lawmaker-allies of President Arroyo failed yesterday to take over the leadership of the House of Representatives, where an impeachment complaint against her is pending.
Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella preempted an impending move to reorganize the chamber and reinstall Las Piñas Rep. Manuel Villar Jr. as new House boss by abruptly adjourning the session.
Fuentebella declared the adjournment after the roll call, which showed that only 88 of the 217 members of the chamber were present, and therefore a quorum was not attained.

[Summary] => Voting 131-23, the House of Representatives approved last night a P715-billion national budget for 2001, cut by P10 billion from the original proposed figure.

[Title] => Bill legalizing jueteng not a House priority
[Summary] => The proposed legalization of jueteng, masiao and other illegal numbers games is not among the priorities of the House of Representatives.
"No, we are not prioritizing the jueteng bill," Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella said yesterday.
He said his chamber’s priorities are the approval of the P725-billion 2001 budget and the power restructuring bill.
Fuentebella was commenting on the accusation of party-list Rep. Leonardo Montemayor that the House is giving priority to the proposal to legalize all fly-by-night numbers games.

[Title] => House approves 2001 budget after P10-B cut
[Summary] => The House of Representatives approved the 2001 national budget yesterday after cutting it by P10 billion.
Second-reading approval came after three days of marathon sessions and a day before Congress goes on a two-week break for All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.
