[Title] => Sandigan remands Doy’s graft case to Ombudsman
[Summary] => 
The Sandiganbayan remanded to the Office of the Ombudsman yesterday the graft case against former Vice President Salvador "Doy" Laurel in connection with the alleged multibillion-peso Expo Pilipino scam.

[Title] => Laurel asks court to drop arraignment
[Summary] => Former vice president Salvador Laurel asked the Sandiganbayan yesterday to "cancel" his May 2 arraignment on graft charges because the Ombudsman had not given him due process.
In a five-page motion, Laurel said he received a copy of the Ombudsman’s resolution last March 21, the same day government prosecutors charged him in court.
Laurel, former chairman of the National Centennial Commission, said the act alone proved that government was bent on pinning him down by not giving him the chance to file an appeal.

[Title] => ‘Rizal in Saga,’ Nick Joaquin in his element
[Summary] => 
The purchase by the GSIS of Juan Luna’s "Parisian Life" has sparked a lively debate: Whether or not the money should have been used to nourish the body or the soul. The issue, however, is more than about dollars and cents. Just as valuable as timeless works of art, if not more so, are the lessons of history and the inspiration from the lives of Filipinos who struggled to win our independence. Sadly, we seem to have forgotten these lessons when they are most urgently needed.
