MALACAÑANG says: ‘Noynoy’s no tax vow is empty promise’ By Aytch S. de la Cruz 01/23/2010 Look at his eyes instead of reading his lips. Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino will raise taxes, if he gets to Malacañang. The Palace yesterday scored the Liberal Party presidential candidate over his vow made before businessmen at the Makati Business Club forum on the presidential candidates that he will not be imposing new taxes nor increase tax rates. Deputy Presidential Spokesman Gary Olivar yesterday intimated that which Aquino had pledged about not introducing new taxes nor increasing the tax rates are empty promises, as well as insinuate that one of the first things Aquino will be doing is to raise taxes, to fill up the deficit which is expected to run to some P270 to P300 billion next year. Olivar pointed out that Aquino had aped former President George H. Bush who said during his acceptance of the Republican nomination for the presidency: “Read my lips. No new taxes,” as a way of courting more votes..... MORE Source:  The Daily Tribune ALTERNATE URL: http://www.classicposters.com/commentary/20100123hed1.html

Of pots and kettles EDITORIAL Click to enlarge 01/23/2010 Liberal Party (LP) presidential candidate, Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, took a swipe at Nacionalista Party (NP) standard bearer, Sen. Manuel “Manny” Villar, telling his converts in the Makati Business Club the other day that change cannot come about if a presidential aspirant (Villar) “whose own financial and political ethics are questionable” leads in the claimed transformation of the country and the nation as “the head of the bureaucracy.” “How can a leader, who is benefiting from the status quo, be able to restore a civic sense and pride in our citizenry? The leader, who has used public office for private gain, will always be the most committed enemy of change,” Aquino was quoted as saying.....

Apparently, there is “bad blood” flowing between the two organizations.... MORE Source:  The Daily Tribune ALTERNATE URL: http://www.classicposters.com/commentary/20100123com2.html

‘Bad’ fortune is catching up on Villar BACKBENCHER Rod. P. Kapunan 01/23/2010 That avid fan of Sen. Manuel “Manny” Villar should stop his childish remark of the report made by the Senate committee of the whole penned by Senate President Juan Ponce-Enrile as a move to destroy his colleague’s reputation. The reasoning raised by that young but wholly saturated politician, Sen. Alan Cayetano, is weird because the poor boy from Tondo who promised to extricate the poor Filipinos from poverty has consistently, even to a point of being defiant, snubbed the hearings conducted by the committee tasked to determine his culpability on the exposé made by Senators Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and Jamby Madrigal.
