Hindi yata inisip ni Gen. Hermogenes Esperon, AFP Chief of Staff, na sa kanyang pagkukumpara ng military sa NPA ay ibinaba niya ang buong sandatahan ng Pilipinas.
Nagreklamo si Esperon sa report ng Amnesty International kung saan binatikos ang pamahalaang Arroyo sa maraming patayan lalo na sa hanay ng mga progresibong organisasyon.
Sabi ni Esperon, bias raw ang AI sa maka-kaliwa. Marami rin daw pinapatay ang mga NPA, ang army ng Communist Party of the Philippines.
Gloria Arroyo must be feeling the noose tightening around her neck.
It showed in the statement her spokesman issued last Saturday threatening Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano “full retribution” if he did not retract his exposé that some “immediate members” of her family maintain a bank account in Hypo- und Vereinsbank in Munich.
Bunye demanded a public apology from Cayetano to which the young congressman from Taguig-Pateros replied: “You should be the one to apologize to the Filipino public for cheating, lying, and stealing.”

Madaling paniwalaan ang pahayag ni Arsenio Rasalan tungkol sa papel ni dating PNP chief Hermogenes Ebdane na ngayon ay public works secretary, sa pandaraya noong 2004 elections para kay Gloria Arroyo.
Matagal nang usap-usapan yan. Wala lang gustong magkumpirma.
Ito ngayon si Rasalan na kasama sa post-election operation ni Ebdane at ni Atty. Roque Bello ang nagkwento ng buong detalye kung paano nila pinalitan ang mga election returns para mag-match sa mga dinayang COCs (certificate of canvass) na siyang ginamit ng Congress sa pag-proklama kay Arroyo na nanalo sa 2004 elections.

AN opposition congressman yesterday accused “immediate members” of the family of President Arroyo of hiding a multi-million dollar bank account in a German bank.
In a TV interview, Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano (NP, Taguig-Pateros) declined to identify the owners of the account but said it is inside one of the seven boxes of evidence that were not opened in the impeachment hearings at the House.

Rasalan named Public Works Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane, former PNP chief, as the one in charge of the grand post-election cheating operation.
It was only very recently that I learned that the lowly suka or vinegar can be used to detect cervical cancer.
Suka contains acetic acid which is what is being used in what I find a revolutionary approach to treating the disease that remains to be the No. 2 killer of Filipino women, next to breast cancer.
I’m sure I’m not the only one ignorant about the powers of acetic acid. And I learned about it only because I attended a forum “The Cervical Cancer Prevention Network program” two weeks ago at the Asian Hospital in Muntinlupa.
