PNoy: "This proposal, though we want to adopt it, unfortunately came after the issuance of the executive order on holidays. The consensus is all businesses have already adjusted to it plus the daily wage earners under no work no pay scheme will be adversely affected'

He'd better make sure not to issue any EO declaring a new holiday within the year.

I quote:

"President Benigno Aquino said on Wednesday that it would be too late to declare February 3 a special non-working holiday because Malacañang had already determined the holidays to be observed this year."

Aquino wanting in action on killings—rights group

MANILA, Philippines—President Benigno Aquino III is wanting in action and resolve when it comes to going after killers and other abusers, according to the international Human Rights Watch (HRW) group in its World Report 2011, a yearly review of human rights practices in various countries.

Military and police personnel continue to violate human rights with impunity, and law enforcement agencies and the justice system in the Philippines remain weak, the HRW said.

"President Aquino came to office promising that human rights would be a top priority," said Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch, in a statement.

"But talk is cheap, so long as security forces remain unaccountable for violent abuses," she added.

The HRW noted that there has hardly been any progress in the hundreds of political killings in the country.

Aquino has not done anything against ruling families with their own private armies, contrary to his promise, it said.

The trial of the Ampatuans, the main suspects in the killing of members of the media and family members of the Ampatuans' political rival in what is known as the Maguindanao massacre, is an exception, it said.

"The wheels of justice are slowly turning in the Maguindanao massacre trial," Pearson said.

"But Aquino should take swift and strong action against the private armies of ruling families if the killings are ever going to stop," she said.

Following the Maguindanao massacre, the Ampatuan family was investigated and found to have supplies of firearms and ammunitions as well as a record of impunity for various transgressions, HRW said.

But the creation of task forces to examine private armies in the rest of the Philippines has not led to anything much, it said.

The HRW also said the relatively new laws on torture and war crimes would help in going after government personnel implicated in criminal acts, but the government has yet to complete the mechanisms to prevent torture, as required in the Anti-Torture Act.

No one has also been prosecuted successfully for violating these two new laws, the rights group also noted.

"New laws on torture and war crimes provide valuable tools for combating abuses. But real progress in professionalizing the army and police will only happen if these laws are put to use," Pearson said.

The HRW, however, praised Aquino for directing the dismissal of the charges against the "Morong 43" health workers who were detained on suspicion of being communist rebels.

House minority says Aquino ignored terror warnings
MANILA, Philippines - Allies of Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in the House of Representatives on Wednesday scored President Aquino's apparent failure  to prevent Tuesday's bombing in Makati City.

House Minority Leader Edcel Lagman said President Aquino ignored warnings by overseas allies that there were possible security threats in the Philippines. Lagman was referring to the travel advisories issued by countries such as the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.

"At the end of the day since the President has the obligation of implementing the laws of the country, the obligation, ultimately, is his responsibility....Under law, the Anti-Terror Council is mandated to assume responsibility for effective implementation of anti-terror policy. Is it like [Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council] that hasn't met?" he said.

He reminded the president that criminality doesn't distinguish between administrations.

In a joint statement read by Lanao del Norte 2nd district Rep Fatimah Aliah Dimaporo, the minority asked the government if it addressed the travel advisories by foreign allies months ago by beefing up security.

The group also asked the President if he has convened the Anti-Terrorism Council created by the Human Security Act, also known as the Anti-Terrorism law. 

"Has the anti-terrorism council been meeting regularly and beefing up our security, especially after warnings issued by our allies some months ago?" minority lawmakers asked.

Zambales Rep. Mitos Magsaysay said: "It's the President's fault whether they met or did not meet. The President has to make sure people under him did their job."

The minority also wondered  about the quality of Philippine intelligence information with the reported replacement of several intel agents. "Has our intelligence capability been upgraded or has it declined after the reported replacement of seasoned agents, losing contacts and expertise built up over many years, including regular and close consultations with allied intelligence operatives?"

The same statement also called on the Philippine National Police to go after the perpetrators of the explosion with the same speed as it did arresting suspects in the recent spate of carjackings.

The minority also offered their prayers and sympathies to the victims of the explosion.

Quezon Rep. Danilo Suarez  said extortion groups from Mindanao may also be behind the bombings. Suarez reminded government that bus bombings are prevalent in Mindanao


SAGOT NI PNOY:
Aquino: Travel advisories warned of mall attack, not bus blast



^engot talaga... kung ako terorista sabihin ko papasabog ako ng mall.. so mall lang babantayan niyo?

[joshgroban]

haha easy lang jude magirap maging presidente

[ctan]

Nainis ako dun sa isang interview kay noynoy about the latest bus bombing and the previous warnings. Sabi niya, ang warning dati ay sa mga malls. Malaki daw ang pagkakaiba ng mall sa bus!

Nakakainis kasi ganun magreason out ang presidente ng Pilipinas! Bakit ba ganun? Ang mall at ang bus ay parehas pampubliko! At parehas malaki ang risk for terrorist attacks. Not only that, may history na ng bombing both in malls and bus sa Pilipinas, and now he is saying malaki ang pagkakaiba ng mall sa bus? Tanga talaga. Obviously, hindi sa hitsura binase ang warning ng terrorism. Idiocy personified!
