[Title] => Joker says probe of Venable contract may be revived
[Summary] => The Senate is not ruling out a revival of its probe into the government contract with Venable LLP after it was reported that the lobby group is again representing the Philippines before the United States Congress.
Sen. Joker Arroyo, chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, said he wants to know who is funding the Venable LLP contract, particularly if it is being funded by private groups.
According to the files of the US Department of Justice, Venable is still in the employ of Malacañang, which tasked it to enhance relations between the two countries.

[Title] => Palace defends Venable contract
[Summary] => Malacañang defended yesterday its new contract with Washington-based lobby firm Venable LLP, saying it is important for protecting the national interest.
Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye issued the statement following reports that the Palace had again tapped the services of Venable, which became the center of controversy and a Senate investigation last year after its lobby contract with the government, which allegedly included raising funds for the administration’s Charter change campaign, was made public.

[Title] => A year of endless inquiries
[Summary] => In the Senate, the year 2005 will best be remembered for seemingly endless inquiries, whether in aid of legislation as per its mandate, or — as far as its critics were concerned — in aid of destabilization.
The year also saw the Senate battling for its survival amid a proposed shift to a unicameral parliamentary system in 2006, even as the chamber continued to be a major force in shaping the political landscape.
What has traditionally been an administration-dominated Senate has turned into one of ambiguity as far as political affiliation is concerned.

[Title] => Who doesn’t get it?
[Summary] => There seems to be one line that dominates the organized defenses around President GMA. This line says that everything thrown against GMA is part of an opposition plot to "destabilize" the government and oust GMA. Thus, these attacks are unworthy of response.

[Title] => Lobbyists
[Summary] => No one believes the rift between Malacañang and the Senate has healed. But there seems to be a truce following the provisional release of National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales from Senate detention, and at least we’re spared from witnessing another banana-eating episode.
The congressional furor over the Venable lobbying deal has also curiously died down. Did someone whisper the identities of the anonymous financiers to certain senators? This looks like another congressional probe that will end up nowhere.

[Title] => Gonzales hopeful his release would ease Palace-Senate tension
[Summary] =>
National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales hopes that his impending release from detention will ease relations between Malacañang and the Senate.
"It’s good if (the tension) is finally removed," he said.
Gonzales had been detained at the Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City since Sept. 21 after the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee cited him for contempt for refusing to answer lawmakers’ questions on the government’s rescinded contract with American lobby firm Venable LLP.

[Title] => Flavier: Release of Gonzales a win-win situation
[Summary] =>
The release of National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales from Senate custody should be treated as a "win-win" situation for both Malacañang and the Senate, an administration senator said yesterday.
Sen. Juan Flavier said Gonzales’ release could serve as a confidence-building measure between the two sides, which have been at odds since the July 8 resignation of several members of the President’s Cabinet.
