[Title] => House freezes wage hike bill
[Summary] =>
Apparently bowing to pressure from President Arroyo and the business community, the House of Representatives has frozen the bill that seeks a P125 across-the-board wage hike for private sector workers.
Nearly two months after approving Bill 345 on third and final reading, the House has not submitted it to the Senate because Deputy Minority Leader Jesus Crispin Remulla has presented a motion to reverse the approval.

[Title] => Opposition to derail Cha-cha
[Summary] =>
Opposition congressmen vowed yesterday to derail what they described as the "administration’s Cha-cha (Charter change) bullet train."
"We will fight tooth and nail to block Cha-cha every step of the way, and I think we still have the numbers to frustrate this hasty and mindless effort to tinker with the Constitution that is driven by greed for power," Minority Leader Francis Escudero told a news forum in Quezon City.
"They will try to do it by hook or by crook, but I believe they will fail," he said.

[Title] => Don’t blame media for low ratings, opposition tells Palace
[Summary] =>
Malacañang should not blame the media for the low ratings in the latest surveys of President Arroyo and her possible senatorial candidates in next year’s elections, opposition congressmen said yesterday.
"They should blame themselves and not the media," Minority Leader Francis Escudero told reporters.
He said the bad press that Mrs. Arroyo and her administration continue to get is due to the unresolved "legitimacy issues" hounding her and acts of wrongdoing and corruption on the part of many of her officials.
