Senator Loren Legarda asked by ABS-CBN news execs to help free Ces Drilon and crew

Senator Loren Legarda said Wednesday she was asked by ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs executives to help secure the release the ABS-CBN crew kidnapped in Sulu June 8.

The former ABS-CBN broadcaster said she started working for the release after Maria Ressa, head of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs Group, and Charie Villa, head of ABS-CBN News Gathering, sought her help.

“Nung simula naman po hindi ako involved eh. Mula lang nung hiniling ako ni Charie at ni Maria na tumulong, ‘yun lang,” she said.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC), Legarda confirmed that ABS-CBN senior correspondent Ces Drilon, cameraman Jimmy Encarncion and Prof. Octavio Dimampo were released before midnight Tuesday.

Korina Sanchez idedemanda ng Lucida-DS Glutathione

IDEDEMANDA yata ng paninirang-puri ng Lucida-DS Glutathione si Korina Sanchez.

Kumalat sa pahina ng mga broadsheet ang kanilang claim na hindi “fake” ang Lucida at hindi kulang sa 500 mg gaya ng pinalalabas ng naturang broadcaster.

May ilang katanungan pa sila kay Korina tulad ng bakit daw tinitira nito ang billboard ni Loren Legarda?

May kaugnayan daw ba ’yung guest ni Korina na si Dra. Raquel David sa MET Tathione? Lisensiyado raw bang dermatologist si Dra. David?

Palace hits former Civil Service Ccommission chief’s tirades on bureaucracy

Malacañang yesterday slammed outgoing Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairman Karina David for being vocal about the flaws of the government bureaucracy. Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Sergio Apostol said they cannot understand why David is very outspoken now that her term as CSC chairman has ended, when “she has not done anything productive during her term as head of the Commission.”

“What’s wrong with David? She is now very outspoken because her term has ended, when in fact, she has not done anything as CSC chairman,” Apostol said. The Palace aide was referring to David’s recent pro-nouncements that many political appointees in the bureaucracy are not qualified, and that their number has already exceeded what is allowed by the Civil Service Law.

Palace bid to water down Baseline Bill treason act

GLORIA HAS DUTY TO ASSERT SPRATLYS CLAIM — PIMENTEL

Efforts of Malacañang to dilute the bill delineating the country’s archipelagic baseline by introducing a provision to call the disputed Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoals as parts of a “regime of islands” is an act of treason, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. said yesterday.

The Palace continued to employ maneuvers to frustrate taking up the bill, House Bill 3216, yesterday by not including it in the agenda of yesterday’s Legislative and Executive Development Advisory Council (Ledac) meeting in Malacañang which was presided over by President Arroyo and attended by nine senators and 14 congressmen.

The other day, the leaders of the House of Representatives who are allied with Mrs. Arroyo, decided to postpone deliberations on the bill despite its being scheduled for final reading.

Rice Crisis getting worst. NFA says goodbye to P18.25 rice

NFA says losses mounting

THE National Food Authority yesterday said it is considering an increase in the price of rice that it is selling for P18.25 because of the agency’s heavy losses.

NFA administrator Jessup Navarro said that last year, the NFA incurred a loss of P1.5 billion as it tried to keep the current NFA price.

The NFA recently started to buy rice at P17 a kilo as support to farmers. This will be classified as “commercial grade rice (well-milled or double milled)” and sold by the NFA at P22 to P25 a kilo. The NFA’s regular buying price is P12 a kilo for the P18.25 a kilo rice.

“We can’t keep prices too low because our farmers might be affected,” Navarro said.

Cabinet secretary Ricardo Saludo said the NFA has been subsidizing consumers by as much as P50 billion a year to ensure its affordability.

Erap to GMA; Have courage to tell truth

FORMER President Joseph Estrada has an early wish for President Arroyo on her 61st birthday on Saturday: “Have the courage to tell the truth and face the consequences.”

Speaking at the Rotary Club of Makati West meeting at the Mandarin Hotel, Estrada reiterated his call for the Arroyo administration to heed the clamor for the truth behind the $329 million national broadband network deal with China’s ZTE Corp.

‘My wish for her is to be accountable and transparent so that the clamor of the people for the truth will once and for all end,” Estrada said.

“And then she has to face the consequences. I don’t think she will be all alone, although, she will be with her husband,” Estrada added.

Come clean on rice shortage, GMA urged: Prices are at 34-year high

SEN. Mar Roxas yesterday rebuked government for claiming there is no rice shortage amid soaring prices of the grain to a 34-year high.

There is a rice crisis, said Roxas, chairman of the Senate committee on trade and commerce.

“Economics 101 yan. Tataas ang presyo kung mahigpit ang supply,” he said.

Prices of commercial rice range from P25 to more than P30 a kilo. Last month, commercial rice was sold at P24 to P30 a kilo. The National Food Authority sells rice at P18.25 a kilo.

Roxas said government is in a denial mode.
