[Title] => EDITORIAL — The consequences of neglect
[Summary] => Someone had to take the blame for the downgrade by the US Federal Aviation Administration of Philippine compliance with international aviation safety standards. So Air Transportation Office chief Daniel Dimagiba was sacked the other day by President Arroyo. Dimagiba would have been the logical choice for kicking out someone for the FAA downgrade, except for one thing: he had been at the post for only a month as officer-in-charge.

[Title] => Cool under fire
[Summary] => With a vote of 115 to 77, the House of Representatives junked the impeachment of Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. – a historical moment that "writes finis (to) this sordid situation", said Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. who delivered an impassioned speech last Monday declaring that he would uphold the ruling of the Supreme Court.

[Title] => The House capitulates / Villaruel enacts own tragedy
[Summary] => For about three weeks, the nation rode the whirlwind on the impeachment issue. And for a time, there was the danger the republic would take off like a cuckoo bird in the void. But the Supreme Court refused to scare. It saved the day with a 13-1 vote that hit the House smack dab on the kisser. The effect was like Sonny Liston vomiting his mouthpiece as Muhammad Ali – né Cassius Clay – broke his jaw in the first round. Not since the Senate impeachment trial of Joseph Estrada had we all teetered on the meat cleaver, wondering whether we would ever survive the suspense.

[Title] => Senseless martyrdom
[Summary] => Another Panfilo made the front pages. First, it was Panfilo Lacson, now it’s Panfilo Villaruel. Both were denouncing graft and corruption in the government. Both failed to present any evidence that would substantiate their charges.

[Title] => Exasperated
[Summary] => I have a few friends who feel the retired colonel Panfilo Villaruel should be lionized. I disagree with them.
But I can understand the minor clamor to do so.
In our culture, we magnify the good in those who have died. We diminish their faults. We echo their kind utterances and forget the error of their deeds.
