[Title] => GMA to be more active in PPC campaign
[Summary] => As the campaign enters the homestretch, President Arroyo will take a more active role in pushing for the election of her 13 senatorial candidates.
The administration People Power Coalition (PPC) announced yesterday that the President would be more involved in the campaign especially since she is aiming for a 13-0 shutout.
The PPC said Mrs. Arroyo is appealing to voters to elect the candidates who can help her pursue reforms and good governance.
The President has so far been selective in attending the coalition’s campaign rallies.

[Title] => Belmonte shoots down proposal for PIRA
[Summary] => Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. shot down yesterday the proposal for Congress to create a Philippine Internal Revenue Authority (PIRA) to replace the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
Another lawmaker, former Speaker Manuel Villar Jr., also opposed the proposed creation of PIRA.
Belmonte told reporters that what the government needs to improve revenue collection are tax collectors who will do their job honestly and efficiently, and not a change in name of the principal tax collection agency.

[Title] => Speaker: There will be House quorum for special session
[Summary] => Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. assured President Arroyo yesterday that his chamber can muster a quorum in case she convenes Congress to pass a law allowing a new registration of voters.
He said he was confident every House member will attend the special congressional session the President is intending to call because it is his or her duty to do so.
Besides, he said a lawmaker’s non-appearance in the session "will send the signal to the largest bloc of voters in his district – the youth – that he doesn’t care about them."

[Title] => Umento sa barangay hiling
[Summary] => Iginiit kahapon ni People Power Coalition senatorial candidate at dating Speaker Manuel Villar Jr. ang pagdadagdag sa suweldo ng mga barangay worker sa buong bansa.
Naniniwala si Villar na dapat matugunan at tumbasan ang ibinibigay na serbisyo ng naturang mga manggagawa sa kanilang pinaglilingkuran.
Binanggit pa niya na, sa maraming lugar sa bansa, ang mga lider ng barangay ang may direktang kontak sa mamamayan kaya naman dapat siguruhin ang umento sa kanilang sahod dahil sa kanilang papel sa pagpapanatili ng kaayusan sa kanilang komunidad.
