[Title] => I did no wrong, says ex-UP exec
[Summary] => One of the two University of the Philippines officials who had been meted 17-year jail terms by the Sandiganbayan for graft and unethical conduct called the decision unfair, saying the case would be elevated to the Supreme Court for a possible reversal of the conviction.
"I find the decision utterly unfair, unjust, cruel and senseless. I am so disgusted, incensed and bitter over this unjust decision that I cannot help but begin losing faith in our present system of laws and judicial processes," former UP Diliman chancellor Roger Posadas said.

[Title] => Oreta: Suspend issuance of tax credit certificates
[Summary] => Opposition Sen. Teresa Aquino-Oreta urged the Department of Finance yesterday to immediately stop the issuance of tax credit certificates to business entities to prevent the government from losing more money in TCC scams.
Oreta made the appeal a few days after the DOF uncovered yet another irregularity involving such certificates, this time amounting to P82 million.
"The best way to stop these anomalies is to temporarily suspend the issuance of TCCs pending a thorough review of the procedures and guidelines in issuing them," she said.
