Dec 23, 2000 Province of Antique local government mulls ordinance to change name of Boracay to Basuracay in the light of Metro Manila Development Authority Plan to dump all garbage into the open pits of the Semirara coal mines.

Hamstrung by technicalities, the impeachment procedures should be allowed to drag on as we see the worst and best of us in each of the actors playing out their assigned roles.

The circus should be allowed to play on till we take notice that AM radio, the media link that binds Filipinos, is owned by the bad guys.

Is the valiant Senate President who tracked down the driver/messenger/check encasher of Power Management going to apply the law equally and now seek out Jaime Dichaves for claiming ownership of the Velarde/Valhalla accounts?

Proceso Jarobilla of Jaro, Iloilo City begun his crusade against the PLDT in 1993 and finally got his triumph this year when the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) declared PLDT "as having violated the provision of Sec. 19(b) of the Public Services Act (Act No. 146 as amended)." STORY

Bishops bite Erap carrot.

Mega-Crony grasp too deep even in Senate? Deep enough for the Senate President to allow free advertising for Presidential crony and pal even as his backer faces impeachment. Obviously, Pimentel's senate presidency may claim to be impartial but more obvious to the public is the fact that even their drinking water is provided for by Lucio Tan's bottled water company. 12.18.00

The Senate hearings. If one were to go by the record of Pimentel, one may have to assume the worst. First, he falsely claimed that he had allowed the Jericho March of December 7 to go unbothered by the riot police. Today we learn that more delays in the trial are caused by some uncooperative employees of the Senate, of which he is President. Wonder what's next from our friend the Troj (pronounced Trowj).

Malacanang Presidential spokesman Dong Puno strongly denied he used a stepladder to be included in the Malacanang Palace official Christmas Card Photo of the President and his cabinet. This is my last Christmas in the Palace and by gosh, I want to be remembered, said the now over six-foot-tall press person. But like Chavit Singson says, "it's hard to tell a lie". Puno finally revealed that he was actually standing atop his deputy, former Fil-Estate spokesboy Toledo. Toledo, on the other hand, was suspected of himself standing on the people of the Philippines to make himself and his boss look tall.

From the archives, a horror story:
On cross-examination by Cruz, Lavides admitted that PLDT has been advertising its own website pldt.com.ph since 1996 up to the present, on radio, TV and print media, even prior to the creation of Kaimo’s pldt.com website in December 1998.

A few days later.. or Nov. 29, 2000.. The police yesterday announced the discovery of the missing PR man's van. And yet another body along the Cavite shoreline. The search for Bubby may turn embarrassing when they dig up more bodies than they have missing persons.
