Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines (FOCAP). The Senator from Tarlac earlier lamented that the formats for previous presidential debates had constraints that didn’t allow a candidate to “go beyond the sound bite.”

A one-on-one debate, Aquino said, would give voters the opportunity to compare their platforms and allow both candidates to elaborate on their positions on key governance issues. He said the meeting will

focus on the venue, date, format, and other details of the debate.

“I think it’s time to end the proxy war. This would give Sen. Villar a chance to do what he wasn’t able to do on the Senate floor: take direct questions regarding the Senate’s findings on the C-5 deal and other issues

that have remained unanswered by him,” he said.

Aquino, on the other hand, welcomed the opportunity to PAGE 6

Binay: We’ll spread Makati’s success to other cities United Opposition vice presidential candidate and Makati Mayor Jojo Binay said the success of the city as the premier business and financial hub in the Philippines could be replicated in other parts of the country.

“Magagawa po iyan basta may political will. Nagawa na ng Makati, magagawa po iyan sa buong bansa,” Binay told a radio interview in Cebu.

When Binay was appointed officer-in-charge of Makati in February 1986 after the EDSA People Power 1, the local government was saddled with P200-million debt. By the end of that year, however, Makati posted P30 billion in savings, the first in the local government’s history, and purged

3,000 ghost employees, which translated to savings of P2.4 million every month, under Binay’s leadership.

Political will, financial disciple, reforms to improve tax collection efficiency and investment in social services are beginning to pay off, Binay said.

Now, the country’s financial center is home to a 22-storey world-class city hall and host to 40 percent of top 1,000 multinational and local corporations, 54 embassies and consulates, and big international organizations.

Literacy rate in Makati is 99.3 percent, one of the highest in the Philippines, owing it to the government’s free education

JPE: interest groups delay passage of power reduction bills Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile suspects that powerful interest groups are still pushing the House of Representatives to delay the passage of crucial legislation he has put forward to bring down the cost of electricity in the country.

power rates to benefit industries, commercial establishments and individual consumers, but none of the proposals were approved at the end of the congressional sessions last February 3.

“Palagay ko malakas ang lobby ng mga may interes diyan,” Enrile said during a radio interview in Davao when

FEB. 22-28, 2010 SUNDAY FEBRUARY 28, 2010 2nd Sunday of Lent Ps 27:1, 7-8, 8-9, 13-14 The Lord is my light and my salvation!

1st Reading: Gen 15:5-12, 17-18 Yahweh brought him outside and said to him, “Look up at the sky and count the stars if you can. Your descendants will be like that.” Abram believed Yahweh who, because of this, held him to be an upright man. And he said, “I am Yahweh who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give this land as your possession.”

Then Abram asked, “My Lord, how am I to know that it shall be mine?” Yahweh replied, “Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtle dove and a young pigeon.” Abram brought all these animals, cut them in two, and laid each half facing its other half, but he did not cut the birds in half. The birds of prey came down upon them, but Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep came over Abram, and a dreadful darkness took hold of him. When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch passed between the halves of the victims. On that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this country from the river of Egypt to the Great River, the Euphrates.”

2nd Reading: Phil 3:17--4:1 (or Phil 3:20---4:1) Unite in imitating me, brothers and sisters, and look at those who walk in our way of life. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. I have said it to you many times, and now I repeat it with tears: they are heading for ruin; their belly is their god and they feel proud of what should be their shame.

They only think of earthly things. For us, our citizenship is in heaven, from where we await the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Lord. He will transfigure our lowly body, making it like his own body, radiant in Glory, through the power which is his to submit everything to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, you my glory and crown, be steadfast in the Lord.

Gospel: Lk 9:28b-36 About eight days after Jesus had said all this, he took Peter, John and James and went up the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became dazzling white. Two men were talking with Jesus: Moses and Elijah. They had just appeared in heavenly glory and were telling him about his departure that had to take place in Jerusalem.

Peter and his companions had fallen asleep, but they awoke suddenly and saw Jesus’ Glory and the two men standing with him. As Moses and Elijah were about to leave, Peter said to him, “Master, how good it is for us to be here for we can make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” For Peter didn’t know what to say. And no sooner had he spoken than a cloud appeared and covered them; and the disciples were afraid as they entered the cloud. Then these words came from the cloud, “This is my Son, my Chosen one, listen to him.” And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was there alone.

The disciples kept this to themselves at the time, telling no one of anything they had seen.

Reflections “And Peter said, ‘Master, how good it is that we are here. We will make three tents...’”

It is easy to assume that by praying alone we will arrive at the pinnacle of the spiritual life. But it is exactly then that Jesus is calling us to leave our little mountaintops to care for the world as He cared for the world. (Daily Gospel 2010, CLARETIAN PUBLICATIONS)

JPE: INTEREST GROUPS... (From page 1) asked why the lower house failed to act on the pending legislation. “Ipinaglalaban ko ‘yan hanggang ngayon… dahil ako ay pro-consumer.”

Enrile filed Senate Bill 3147 or the Uniform Franchise Tax Act, and Senate Bill 3148 or the Electricity Rate Reduction Act – twin measures envisioned to give immediate relief to power consumers. The proposals are also designed to amend the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) passed in 2001.

Enrile, who is the most knowledgeable legislator in the power sector, was the only lawmaker who voted against EPIRA at that time because he was not convinced that it could bring about lower power rates.

One important amendment that Enrile is seeking is the lifting of the Value Added Tax (VAT) on distribution, power generation and transmission, which is subsequently passed on to consumers by distribution companies, including Meralco and electric cooperatives all over the country, even if

consumers do not consume a single watt of electricity.

SB No. 3147 proposes to impose a uniform franchise tax of 3 percent on distribution utilities and eliminate layers of tax.

Reverting to the old system is more “manageable” and “fair” and in line with the principle that “public utilities ought not and must not be used as sources of public revenue as these public utilities render public services to the taxpayers,” Enrile said in a previous interview.

Power rates would have been reduced by 23 centavos per kwh for household consumers and 5 centavos to 12 centavos per kwh for business establishments had the lower house passed the twin proposals.

“Malaki talaga ang ibaba ng presyo ng kuryente kung maaprubahan iyan ng House,” Enrile explained, adding that reduction in power rates would translate to savings which consumers can use to consume good and services therefore spurring the economy.

program from elementary to college level.

The city government’s Makati Health Program, popularly known as the Yellow Card, is recognized as one of the best practices in the world.

It ranks among the areas with the lowest mortality and malnutrition rate in the country.

Binay said last year the city earmarked P1 billion for its health program and is close to the level of what he called universal medical insurance.

“Eighty-five percent of our people are covered by medical insurance. Hospital is a basic service,” he explained.

For senior citizens, Binay said, Makati City set aside some P140 million in 2009 for financial assistance and free hospitalization, as way of “pampering our senior citizens.”
