                    [Summary] => Senate Majority Leader Loren Legarda and Sen. Teresa Aquino Oreta joined colleague Ralph Recto yesterday in opposing an Arroyo administration plan to seek the imposition of an additional P1 tax on oil products.


"It’s only now that the people are getting a respite from market-dictated price increases with the lowering of world crude oil prices. We should not increase pump prices at this time by imposing an additional tax," Legarda said.


She said the collection of a new tax would cause prices of consumer products and services to go up.

Apparently so, because members of the Senate expressed alarm yesterday over the 90 or so recall cases in various local government units (LGUs) across the country.


The high number of recall cases, they feel, indicated the need to scrap the Preparatory Recall Assembly (PRA) as a mode of changing government officials between elections.

                    [Summary] => The Department of Labor and the  Department of Foreign Affairs should create an inter-agency rapid response team that could be activated at any moment to evacuate Filipino workers from host countries threatened by war, Sen. Edgardo Angara proposed yesterday.


He issued the proposal as war clouds now hover over Iraq, which could affect the entire Middle East where there are about 1.5 million overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
