                    [Summary] => KALIBO, Aklan- Nanawagan kamakalawa si dating Press Secretary Ricardo Puno Jr. sa mga pamahalaang-lokal na pangunahan ang kampanya laban sa pagwasak sa kalikasan bunsod ng mga nakakapinsalang aktibidad na pangkabuhayan. 


Ayon kay Puno, kandidatong senador ng Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, ang pinsalang dulot ng pagsira sa ekolohiya ay nagbubunga ng bilyun-bilyong pisong epekto sa kabuhayan ng bansa.

Press Secretary Ricardo Puno Jr. said yesterday the decision of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to revise the schedule will allow Cabinet men running in the elections to stay a little bit longer in office  and give the President more time to evaluate replacements. Puno himself is seeking a Senate seat in the May polls.

Press Secretary Ricardo Puno Jr. laughed off reports that his office had drawn up a post-impeachment scenario known as "God Save the King 2" detailing the structure of the supposed junta to be comprised of Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Defense Secretary Orlando Mercado and Philippine National Police chief Director General Panfilo Lacson, among other national leaders.

At the outset, however, Press Secretary Ricardo Puno Jr. vehemently belied any alleged Malacañang hand in the harassment of Villar’s private businesses.


"If you have such businesses, one should normally expect those kinds of inquiries or audits of income taxes, among other things," Puno said.

However, casinos all over the country and the jai-alai fronton on Adriatico street in Malate, Manila will remain open to the public.


The President’s directive came after he announced on Oct. 14 that the government will totally pull out from all forms of gambling and that Pagcor will eventually be privatized.

The President maintained this positive attitude a day after the peso fell to an all-time low of 46.61 to the dollar and dragged down with it most major stocks at the exchange.

                    [Title] => Estrada closes Pagcor outlets
                    [Summary] => As a step to keep the government’s hands off gambling, President Estrada ordered the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) yesterday to close down its community-based betting outlets for jai-alai, on-line bingo and Internet casino gaming.


However, casinos all over the country and the jai-alai fronton on Adriatico street in Malate, Manila will remain open to the public.


The President’s directive came after he announced on Oct. 14 that the government will totally pull out from all forms of gambling and that Pagcor will eventually be privatized.

                    [Title] => ‘Peso to recover in 3 months’
                    [Summary] => President Estrada expressed confidence yesterday the peso would bounce back within the next two to three months, by which time the price of crude oil in the world market and the strong dollar   should have stabilized to lessen pressure on regional currencies.


The President maintained this positive attitude a day after the peso fell to an all-time low of 46.61 to the dollar and dragged down with it most major stocks at the exchange.
