Malaya (06.30.10)

ni Horacio Paredes
Bago pa pala nagkausap ang dalawang taong magsisimula ng kanilang paglilingkod sa Hunyo 30 — sina President-elect Noynoy Aquino at Vice President-elect Jojo Binay — sumulat na si Jojo kung saan kaniyang pinaliwanag na kaya lamang niya nasabi na kung siya lamang ang masusunod, mas gusto niyang maglingkod bilang pinuno ng DILG.

On Jojo and Mulong

“By agreeing with Jojo’s decision not to be in his cabinet, Noynoy has avoided a future problem that would have been sure to come up.”

Deretsahan
ni Horacio Paredes

Liberals as Speaker and Senate President

 “Angara’s group, which controls the ’swing votes’ includes Senators Zubiri, Lito Lapid, Bong Revilla and Loren Legarda. ”
by Ducky Paredes
It looks to me that President Noynoy Aquino (P’Noy) will be getting a Liberal as Senate  President without even lifting a finger. In the Lower House, Liberal Congressman Sonny Belmonte looks like the nearest thing to […]
