                    [Summary] => Nearly half of Filipinos want the Philippines to remain neutral in a US-led war against Iraq even if it is sanctioned by the United Nations, results of a noncommissioned nationwide survey showed.


Conducted by Pulse Asia from Nov. 9 to 22, 1,200 Filipinos were asked to choose a course of action from preselected choices on the issue.


Forty-five percent said the Philippines should stay out of the standoff while only 10 percent favored total war against Baghdad, which has been accused of building weapons of mass destruction.

Ayon kay Gregorio "Ka Roger" Rosal, spokesman ng Melito Glor Command ng Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) na malinaw na ang Pilipinas ay magiging base ng Amerika sa pamamagitan lamang umano ng paglakip sa pinagkasunduang RP-US Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA).

He said the new agreement was merely a logistics-sharing accord and would not result in US bases being set up in the Philippines once again. 


"We don’t want bases, we don’t need them and the MLSA (Mutual Logistics Support Agreement) has nothing to do with bases," Ricciardone told reporters after meeting with President Arroyo at Malacañang yesterday.

                    [Summary] => Itinanggi kahapon ni Vice President Teofisto Guingona Jr. na tinanggap niya ang pagiging "Mindanao czar" at nagbalik bilang miyembro ng Gabinete ni Pangulong Arroyo.


Sinabi ni Guingona na walang katotohanan ang inihayag ni Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye na pumayag siya kundi nagkasundo lamang sila ng Pangulo noong magbitiw siya na ipagpapatuloy ang mga naiwan niyang programa tulad ng OFI bonds para sa mga OFWs, pabahay sa mga ito, rehabilitasyon ng Integrated Steel plant sa Mindanao at Seafarer’s welfare program.

                    [Summary] => Sen. Aquilino Pimentel Jr. filed yesterday a resolution urging the indefinite suspension in the implementation of the Mutual Logistics Support Agreement (MLSA) between the Philippines and the United States until the Senate has finished reviewing it.


"The important thing is for Congress, particularly the Senate, to assert its right over agreements entered into by any agency of the government," Pimentel stressed.

                    [Summary] => Nagpahayag ang grupong komunista na hindi na umano kailangan ng pamahalaang US at Pilipinas na isama sa kontrobersiyal na Mutual Logistics Support Agreement (MLSA) ang probisyon na permanenteng pagtatayo ng base ng Amerika dito.


Ayon kay Gregorio "Ka Roger" Rosal, spokesman ng Melito Glor Command ng Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) na malinaw na ang Pilipinas ay magiging base ng Amerika sa pamamagitan lamang umano ng paglakip sa pinagkasunduang RP-US Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA).

                    [Title] => ‘MLSA security fears overblown’
                    [Summary] => US Ambassador Francis Ricciardone brushed off yesterday fears that a new RP-US security pact could bring the country into conflict with Iraq, saying such fears were overblown. 


He said the new agreement was merely a logistics-sharing accord and would not result in US bases being set up in the Philippines once again. 


"We don’t want bases, we don’t need them and the MLSA (Mutual Logistics Support Agreement) has nothing to do with bases," Ricciardone told reporters after meeting with President Arroyo at Malacañang yesterday.
