[Title] => Peso, market fall blamed on political mudslinging
[Summary] => President Arroyo, in yet another stinging tirade against her political enemies, blamed the current political mudslinging for the peso’s plunge to a historic low of 56.450 to the dollar at Monday’s close of trading.
"The transient lag in the peso signals an underlying fear that the opposition, by its politicking, is dragging us to the past and crushing our hopes for the future," she warned.

[Title] => Releasing pressure
[Summary] => Allowing transport groups to raise rates is often likened to opening a Pandora’s Box. There is fear that fare hikes would trigger a series of events that includes labor wage hikes and even spiraling inflation. One need not be reminded that just before the May polls, this constitutes a nightmare for administration candidates.
A fare hike per se does not actually always start a domino effect on the cost of other basic services and goods as past experience has shown. Actually, there are other pressure points that matter more at this point in time.

[Title] => Emotional Erap interview
[Summary] => Insiders revealed that when The Philippine STAR Publisher Max V. Soliven interviewed former President Estrada at his detention compound in Camp Capinpin, Erap started to tear and become very emotional during the last seven minutes of the program. The whole room was eerily quiet as everyone listened. Everyone from battle-hardened Max Soliven, the ANC TV crew, to the Sheriff were moved to tears. It was a highly-charged, emotional moment that presidential counselor David Gergen described as a "naked moment" in politics.

[Title] => FATF wants lower launder threshold
[Summary] => The Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has asked the Phi-lippines to strengthen its Anti-Money Laundering Law by lowering the P4-million threshold under which a suspicious account can be opened.
In a letter to Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Rafael Buenaventura, the FATF pointed out that while the passage of the law was an important first step, more legal changes have to be made for the Philippines to be removed from a blacklist of countries seen as not doing enough to fight money laundering.

[Title] => Peso ends lower against dollar
[Summary] => The peso ended lower yesterday at 51.04 against the dollar amid concerns over political uncertainty, dealers said.
President Estrada, however, gave assurance that the latest fall of the peso was just a "temporary " development due to a series of bomb attacks that rocked Manila at the weekend.
"I appeal to the businessmen to help one another here because if we don’t help each other, we all shall suffer, especially the poor people," the President said.
