Palace
backtracks,
favors ConCon, too
MANILA.
Picking up the cue from its allies in the House, Malacañang said yesterday
that it, too, was now in favor of electing delegates to a constitutional convention
instead of convening Congress into a constituent assembly to amend the Constitution.
Presidential
political adviser Gabriel Claudio said the shift to the remaining mode of Charter
change - the third mode, the people's initiative, was rejected by the Supreme
Court - might finally harness popular support for the administration's plans to
amend the Constitution and effect a change in the system of government.

At
least P25-million worth of merchandise and market building were turned to ashes
as the old Talibon Public Market was gutted by fire early dawn yesterday.
The
fire which started at around 1:45 in the morning in one of the market's interior
stalls owned by a certain Oscar Decada rapidly spread as gusty winds brought by
typhoon 'Seniang' blew through the blaze burning down the entire edifice mostly
constructed of light materials.

AGE OF REASON"| | |  | | In
the war of nerves, GMA-JDV and their cohorts blinked.
No,
the Holy Spirit did not descend on them when they changed their minds on the Con-Ass
controversy. They just didn't have a choice. |
If
they did not shift to tango last Saturday, they unwittingly would have created
a potential EDSA IV, a social volcano erupting with this great destabilizer called
the Con-Ass. In one stroke, it galvanized the Opposition into one (what one leader
couldn't do) and created a political tsunami that would have swept GMA's allies
into the shores of ignominy.
