Meralco management change target — Garcia

Where earlier he categorically denied government’s plan to wrest control of Manila Electric Co., Winston Garcia, president of cash-rich state pension fund Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), openly spoke yesterday of “changing the present management” of dominant power distributor Meralco.

The Lopez family, which has a diverse ownership in media and utility businesses, currently controls the management in Meralco.

Garcia also indicated in a statement yesterday that President Arroyo supports his every move against Meralco.

“I am happy that the President supports my move because we should now really change the present management of Meralco as they hold themselves accountable to nobody despite the many anomalies that are happening at Meralco,” Garcia said in a press statement.

Senators want 3 justices to inhibit but Villar,Pimentel are hesistant

THE Senate wants Associate Justices Arturo Brion, Renato Corona and Presbitero Velasco to inhibit themselves from acting on its motion for reconsideration on the Supreme Court’s March 25 ruling upholding the petition of former Planning Secretary Romulo Neri to invoke executive privilege.

The Senate legal team and majority leader Francis Pangilinan said the petition for inhibition would be filed after the filing today of the Senate’s motion for reconsideration.

Pangilinan said the petition for inhibition against Brion, Corona and Velasco was due to their supposed close ties with President Arroyo and Neri.

Brion is the President’s latest appointee to the high court. He was Arroyo’s labor secretary. Brion and Neri, as then budget secretary, sat together during Cabinet meetings.

Senate rejects SC solution to Neri’s NBN testimony

It’s back to square one on efforts to compel former Socio-Economic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri to bare what he knows on the anomalous National Broadband Network (NBN) deal before a Senate inquiry after senators rejected yesterday a supposed Solomonic solution offered by the Supreme Court.

The proposal, initiated by Chief Justice Reynato Puno and Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, provided for Neri to attend the Senate hearings to testify on the bribery scandal but that he still can invoke executive privilege on three questions asked by the Senate of Neri during last’s year’s ZTE hearing.

The controversial questions were “Did the President have any interest in the NBN project?”, “Did the President order Neri to prioritize the NBN deal?” and “Did she (President) order the continuance of the project despite allegations of bribery?”

76% of Pinoys distrust and junk GMA performance

President Arroyo is not just the “most corrupt Philippine president” ever. She is also the most distrusted Chief Executive by far, as the latest Pulse Asia survey conducted in Metro Manila from Feb. 21 to 24 showed that 76 percent of Metro Manilans distrust both Mrs. Arroyo and her spouse, Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo, along with 71 percent disapproving of her and her performance in the presidential office.

The President in the latest survey registered big majority disapproval and distrust ratings in the metropolis, Pulse Asia said in its media release yesterday.

In the midst of controversies hounding the incumbent Arroyo administration, around three in four Metro Manilans (71 percent) expressed strong disapproval of her performance in office while 76 percent expressed distrust of Mrs. Arroyo and her husband, who is currently mired in the controversy over the scandal-tainted and kickback-laden $329-million ZTE-National Broadband Network (NBN) project, now being probed by the Senate.
