Breaking News: Manny Villar resigns as Senate President

Juan Ponce Enrile is the new Senate President.

Ex-Senate President, Manny Villar's statements:

"My dear colleagues in this august chamber, the tenure of the Senate President - as everyone knows - depends on the number of members that supports him or her. I was informed this afternoon I no longer have the support of majority of my colleagues. I therefore tender my
resignation and congratulate the new senate President, honorable Juan Ponce Enrile,"

"You have my support in seeing to it this chamber continue maintain its unquestionable independence and solid reputation,

"I shall now have more time to be with the people in the countryside and with my family,"

Another agenda that I am thinking of on why he resigned is that he might have plans on running as a president in the next presidential elections.. or does he have already?

According to GMA news website,

MANILA, Philippines – Nanguna muli si Vice President Noli de Castro sa pinakahuling survey ng Pulse Asia na nakakuha ng 18% sa tinaguriang “First Choice Presidential Preference" na kinalap mula Oktubre 14-27, 2008.

Natuklasan din sa naturang survey na umangat ng limang porsiyento ang “preference ratings" ni Senate President Manny Villar na nakapagtala ng 17% kumpara sa dating 12% sa kaparehong titulo ng survey na ginanap noong July 1-14.

Translation (not word per word):
Vice President Noli De Castro is still the Presidential preference of the Filipino people according to the Pulse Asia survey.

Also, Ex-Senate president Manny Villar's preference is at 17%, 5% more compared to Ex-Philippine President, Joseph Ejercito Estrada.

I wonder if Arroyo has something to do with this. Is this part of the Fertilizer fund scam? Is she hiding something? Something like an information that could expose her that's why he placed a Pro-Arroyo (JPE) as the new Senate President?

More updates about this in awhile!

House of representatives bombing - nov 13 2007

House Speaker Jose De Venecia condemned the "cowardly and dastartdly act." The Speaker ordered a clean sweep of the Batasan Complex to prepare for the regular session tomorrow afternoon.

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ordered the police to investigate the incident and to "submit periodic reports as warranted."

The blast was the first ever bomb explosion inside the premises of the Philippine Parliament.

After the blast, Metro Manila and the Senate were placed under full red alert by the police.

Youth and student groups immediately held an indignation rally around 9:30 pm at the nearby UP Diliman campus. Youth groups also offered candles and prayers for the victims of the bombing.

The explosion was the second major blast which occurred in Metro Manila in less than a month. The first explosion damaged the Glorietta shopping mall last October 19 which killed eleven people and injured a hundred shoppers.

Police authorities are appealing to the public to refrain from spreading wrong information and unfounded theories about the deadly explosion.

Speaker De Venecia assured the people that Congress will not be deterred by the bomb explosion by continuing with its legislative duties in the next few days.

Violence may erupt if Erap is convicted or vice versa.

Convicted?

Former Philippine president, Joseph Ejercito "Erap" Estrada's fans and supporters might plan a widespread rioting or looting according to Maj. Gen. Ben Mohammad Dolorfino, chief of the AFP National Capital Region Command, said the military is preparing for a situation similar to the May 1, 2001, siege of the presidential palace by Estrada supporters.

Acquitted?

Also, "[An acquittal] will also cause mass action, although it will vary in magnitude. If [Estrada] is found guilty, it is expected that the mass action will be bigger," he said.

So, whatever side you are on, Pro, Anti or Neutral, AFP is making sure that peace and order will prevail. but we can't help but think that, of course, PNP/AFP will be on the government side. unless, there will be a coup plot against the administration, again...
