[Title] => De Castro to the rescue of OFWs – and GMA
[Summary] =>
NOLI CARD: If he plays it right and the pseudo-elite allow him, Vice President Noli de Castro may yet provide a resolution to the imbroglio over the funding of the evacuation of some 30,000 Filipino workers trapped in Lebanon areas under Israeli attack.
De Castro has been installed head of a task force overseeing the safe and speedy repatriation stymied by a lack of money that Malacanang is hard put to explain considering the billions in workers’ welfare funds under its care.

[Title] => FVR ready to face Masinloc probe
[Summary] =>
Former President Fidel Ramos yesterday said he is ready to face a congressional probe into the controversial sale of a 600-megawatt power plant in Masinloc, Zambales to YNN-Pacific-Ranhill Berhad.
Ramos’ name was dragged into the case when Sen. Miriam Defensor- Santiago hinted at the possibility of calling him to a Senate hearing on the Masinloc deal. In earlier news reports, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. and Sen. Sergio Osmeña III also insinuated Ramos’ involvement in the transaction.

[Title] => Osmeña hits Palace for ‘favoring’ YNN group in Masinloc bidding
[Summary] => Sen. Sergio Osmeña III accused some Palace officials yesterday of pushing their way to favor the YNN Pacific consortium and its new partner, Malaysia’s Ranhill Bernard, in cornering the operations of the Masinloc power plant in Zambales.
Osmeña told reporters that Malacañang is also "pressuring" Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) to sign a guaranteed supply contract with YNN and Ranhill Berhad to salvage the Masinloc privatization fiasco.

[Title] => The big joke is on us in Joc-Joc saga in LA
[Summary] =>
EXCITABLE MEDIA: The news about former agriculture undersecretary Jocelyn "Joc-Joc" Bolante being held in Los Angeles broke early this week when a radio anchor excitedly told his station on air that Bolante had been arrested at that port and was asking Malacanang to help produce $100,000 for his bail.
Obviously the anchor failed to ask himself or his sources (1) why Bolante was arrested when there was no known criminal charge nor a warrant pending against him, and (2) if he was not facing charges, why the need for bail?

[Summary] =>
The disturbing saga of the Masinloc privatization has reached preposterous heights.
PSALM, led by its chairman, Finance Secretary Gary Teves, has granted another 40-day extension to YNN via some technicality they’re invoking. They say it’s not really terminated until 30 days after they served the notice last July 11th, which means YNN has until Aug. 11 to come up with the 40 percent downpayment ($227 million) on the purchase price for Masinloc of $562 million.
