Gov. Erico Aumentado and all three Bohol congressmen said they did not receive money from Malacañang staff during a breakfast meeting with Pres. Macapagal-Arroyo last Thursday.

Aumentado and the solons were asked how much they received, and that their constituents deserve to know what they are planning to do with the money.

The governor denied money changed hands during the breakfast meeting at the Palace together with other governors and some local officials.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has filed a petition for certiorari and a temporary restraining order to prevent a Court of Appeals (CA) order to the military submit a copy of probe report regarding the license plate linked to the abduction of missing agriculturist Jonas Burgos. The action by AFP chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon and Col. Arthur Abadilla of the AFP Provost Marshal shows the military's determination to prevent the CA Seventh Division from obtaining a copy of the results of the military investigation. In their petition to the high court, Esperon said the CA's order is a violation of the "principle of separation of powers". FULL STORY
