[Title] => My friends'' Friends
[Summary] =>
Lawyer Frank Malilong, a good friend of mine and ninong at my kasal and whose column in SunStar is probably the best in Cebu ( on days when I do not write mine, ha ha ), recently asked me for a little help regarding the reelection bid of his good friend, Senator Edgardo Angara.
Ex-future lawyer Jesse Bacon, another good friend whom I did not invite to my kasal and whose column in the Daily Tribune is subject to friendly but disparaging innuendoes by Eddie Barrita of Cabadiangan, Liloan, also pitched in for his good friend, Senator Panfilo Lacson.

[Title] => The secret promise of No-El again
[Summary] => A telltale sign that a factory is about to retrench workers is a sudden intensity of nonessential work, in denial that something’s amiss. The Lakas-Kampi coalition, forecast to stumble in the 2007 congressional election, is ignoring the warnings. Defeat in the Supreme Court of its favored People’s Initiative for parliamentary form has crushed its image of might. The obvious task at hand is to restore the members’ confidence and gird for the campaign ahead.

[Title] => Angara not worth my time — Lacson
[Summary] => Opposition Sen. Panfilo Lacson refused to further tangle yesterday with his former party boss, Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) president Sen. Edgardo Angara.
Asked by The STAR to respond to Angara’s accusation that he was a modern-day makapili who "sold the opposition down the river" during the May presidential election, Lacson’s answer was short but not sweet: "He is not worth my time!"
In a text message to a broadcaster, he said his former party boss "can talk all he wants but I won’t answer him."

[Title] => Angara: LDP will emerge stronger without Lacson
[Summary] => CITY OF SAN FERNANDO - The largest opposition party will "emerge stronger" following the May 10 elections, even without Sen. Panfilo Lacson in its roster, Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) president Sen. Edgardo Angara declared yesterday.
Angara said not having Lacson in their party is not a loss for the LDP since most of its members don’t want him around anyway.
In an interview with The STAR yesterday, Angara seemed to have shut the door to any possible reconciliation with his nemesis.
