[Title] => Protect intellectual property rights
[Summary] =>
They're cheap, they're available, and Filipinos have the machines to run them.
But those pirated digital video discs, video compact discs and CD-ROMs now
proliferating in Metro Manila are also getting the Philippines in trouble. The
country has already been included in an annual "Special 301" list prepared by
the US Trade Representative, meaning the Philippines could face trade sanctions
from the United States if no reforms are made to improve protection of
intellectual property rights (IPR).

[Title] => Speed up the BW probe
[Summary] =>
The market hit another 15-month low yesterday, plummeting nearly 79 points as
foreign investors continued to flee. Traders agreed that the continuing scandal
over Best World Resources Corp. triggered the flight. Last Monday, as officials
of the Philippine Stock Exchange faced the Senate, several lawmakers wondered
why the PSE's report on insider trading and stock manipulation involving BW
seemed to have left out certain heavy traders.

[Title] => Presidential spokesman exposes bad policemen - Roses And Thorns byAlejandro R. Roces
[Summary] =>
It took a street-wise person like Presidential Spokesman Fernando Barican to
observe that traffic lights in busy intersections like Paseo de Roxas and
Makati Avenue are being tampered with, not to relieve a bad traffic situation,
but to confuse the motorist into unwittingly breaking the law thus giving
crooked policemen the opportunity of stopping motorists who have to pay the
policeman to avoid arrest.
Barican also noted in such busy intersections, policemen are never on sight
directing traffic.

[Title] => Gov't often run like hell - Estrada
[Summary] =>
The government has often been run like hell, and undoing the damage needs a lot
of work.
This was President Estrada's response yesterday to a call from World Bank
president James Wolfensohn to address corruption and promote transparency and
public accountability in government.
The response was borrowed from Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon, who
once said he preferred "a government run like hell by Filipinos to one run like
heaven by the Americans."
Quezon at the time was negotiating for Philippine independence from the United
States.

[Title] => Rhetoric blamed for 'destabilization'
[Summary] =>
So who's really rocking the boat?
Presidential Spokesman Fernando Barican denounced an administration congressman
yesterday for issuing "unnecessary rhetoric" that only creates perceptions of
destabilization.
Barican was specifically addressing his statement to Rep. Ernesto Herrera
(LAMP, Bohol), who earlier accused some of the President's officials of
destabilizing the government themselves.
The congressman claimed such instability was evident when Mr. Estrada allowed
convicted priest killer Norberto Manero Jr. to go free.

Senate President Blas Ople opposed yesterday renewed proposals to lift the Bank
Secrecy Law, saying this would create mistrust and harm the country's image as
an Asian Switzerland.
"Government policy must be to encourage more Filipinos to save and put their
money in banks, not scare them and prompt them to hoard their money under
pillows," he said.
Presidential Spokesman Fernando Barican has announced that Malacañang
was seeking an amendment to the law to allow supervisors access to "vital
information under certain circumstances."
The amendment would empower the B
