[Title] => Bypassed Comelec commissioners now ‘jobless’
[Summary] => Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioners Virgilio Garcillano and Manuel Barcelona will be left jobless after June 30 since their appointments have been effectively bypassed after Congress adjourned sine die last Friday, Senate President Franklin Drilon said yesterday.
Drilon, chairman of the 25-member bicameral Commission on Appointments (CA), told The STAR that President Arroyo cannot reappoint or issue a new ad interim appointments to the two commissioners since she is bound by the appointment ban until the end of her term at noon of June 30.

[Title] => Is FPJ too scared to ‘debate’ unless protected by cheering fans who’ll boo his rivals?
[Summary] => You can win the applause and cheers of the mob, but you cannot run a country – and, for that matter, feed the masa who’re your fervent admirers – on macho posturing, wisecracks, and one-liners.
Sayang. If our movie idol, Fernando Poe Jr. (alias Ronnie), who started out like a house on fire, doesn’t stop playing to the peanut gallery, and basing his campaign language on a rehash of the scripts of his old movies, he’ll fizzle out before the end of the campaign.
