[Title] => Remorse
[Summary] => That was one half-baked apology from Bishop Antonio Tobias to former President Joseph Estrada the other day. You could see this in the frowns on some of the faces around Erap as they listened to the sermon of the Novaliches bishop.
"I hope you can forgive the Church for what happened to you," Tobias told Estrada during a Mass to mark the deposed president’s 69th birthday.
Tobias, however, told reporters later that the Roman Catholic Church still thought it did the right thing in joining the people power revolt that ousted Estrada in January 2001.

[Title] => EDITORIAL – Back to work
[Summary] => 
The bickering and backstabbing are unlikely to stop, but politicians at least might get some work done now that religious leaders are calling for a ceasefire.

[Title] => Winner
[Summary] => We have a winner, and it looks like Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Now all we have to await is the opposition’s full temper tantrum.
The administration should just let everyone blow off steam. With war chests depleted and even opposition financiers now scrambling for an invitation to the Arroyo inaugural, any threat of EDSA IV (or Makati Uno) is bound to end with a whimper.

[Title] => Making enemies
[Summary] => If the opposition Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino doesn’t watch out, it could end up making enemies of everyone outside the KNP. And at this point, the KNP could use every help it can get.

[Title] => Weakness
[Summary] => In a democracy, an election is supposed to be the best manifestation of people power. In our democracy, elections expose the weaknesses of our republic.

[Title] => Sobriety
[Summary] => As in the campaign, when Sen. Panfilo Lacson presented the most coherent, consistent platform among the presidential aspirants, he’s again the one making the most sensible statements in this surreal post-election period.
Instead of telling his supporters to block busy streets, threatening to stage people power and disrupting our already perpetually disrupted lives, he’s advising them to guard the vote closely, and document cases of cheating like armies of "scene of the crime" police investigators.

[Title] => New housing law benefits QC squatters
[Summary] => President Arroyo signed yesterday the National Government Center Housing and Land Utilization Act of 2003 that awards lands to some 55,000 squatter families in one of Quezon City’s poorest urban districts.
More than 600,000 individuals, including Muslims and members of the Iglesia ni Cristo and El Shaddai squatting in a compound of the 444-hectare NGC along Commonwealth Avenue, will soon realize their dream of owning their own lots.

[Title] => Jitters
[Summary] => Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo isn’t going to be ousted in a coup and she won’t be replaced by the "collective leadership" of a junta. You need the backing of the military and police for that. There are always officers grumbling about promotions, favoritism and stupid superiors, but there has been no significant agitation in the military and police lately that should give the President sleepless nights.
Florencio Fianza, who seems to have a knack for getting into a tight spot, has been issuing clarifications like mad, denying involvement in any coup plot.
