[Title] => Seducing Lacson, securing Drilon
[Summary] => On the eve of the Presidents State-of-the-Nation Address, senators already revealed what it was: Politics as usual, what else? On one hand is an Opposition minority posturing to snub todays affair. On the other is an Administration majority wooing archenemy Panfilo Lacson into its ranks.
"Politics is addition," Juan Flavier justifies Senate President Franklin Drilons Lothario offer to Lacson to chair any committee he fancies. Neither Drilon as LP chairman nor Flavier as Lakas vice chief see it as potential subtraction.
