"The clamor for our people for change is so deep and so widely expressed that none of us can afford to be bystanders.
Each of us has a duty to fulfill our social contract with the Filipino people by putting the interests of others before ourselves," Mr. Aquino says at the first death anniversary of his mother, former President Corazon Aquino.
The Ninoy-Cory legacy made P-Noy president. Let the Aquino legacy live on.

MMDA will no longer honor exemptions of certain vehicles from the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) or the color coding scheme, announces new MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino.
No favoritism - and chaos - on the road.

The new MMDA head says that 8,900 vehicles were given color coding exemptions, 6,393 of which are private vehicles of government officials and employees.
Que barbaridad. No wonder Metro traffic remains worst.

Tolentino adds that colorum vehicles, especially buses, ply metropolitan routes by illegally giving corrupt authorities as much as P30,000 a month.
No to colorums, no to tong-pats!

The Department of Transportation and Communication (DoTC) and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) conduct a physical inventory of public utility buses (PUBs) plying routes in Metro Manila.
A coordinated action is necesarry or the campaign goes pfftt.

An investigation into alleged big-time anomalies at the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) has also been launched focusing on finances, DoTC Undersecretary for Public Information Dante Velasco discloses.
Money rolling out of and derailing the rail system, whew!

For example, the DoTC is trying to collect more than P1 billion from the MRT Devco for unpaid development rights on MRT advertising spaces, Velasco adds.
Overrun irregularities and bring that sidetracked money in.

The office of the Ombudsman orders seven ranking officers of Home Guaranty Corp. (HGC) to answer graft charges filed in connection with the sale of a state property in Port Area, Manila.
No home but prison cell for grafters.

President Aquino dares critics of the Truth Commission to bring the matter to court to settle question as to its constitutionality.
Call in the legal minds for a consesus - in the interest of truth.
