Arroyo lifts cap on fuel prices
Petron pledges oil price discounts
Petron, however, said that despite of the issuance of Executive Order 845 lifting EO 839, the company would still implement price discounts on gasoline, diesel, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas to "assist our countrymen in areas that were directly affected by the recent calamities," said Petron President Eric Recto.
The oil price discounts, Recto said, would be implemented in select areas until the end of November.
Petron said it would also freeze the prices of automotive and motorcycle lubricants until December 31.
"We wish to assure the public that we are doing our best to ensure a continuous and reliable supply of fuels while ensuring that price moves are in line with international price changes," Recto said.

Osmeña, Villarete criticize DOTC official for 'bias' for LRT

Cebu City gets 31T more voters for 2010
CEBU City now has 517,798 registered voters who will be able to vote in next year's election, which means an increase of 6.4 percent or some 31,000 voters compared to the number recorded in the October 2007 polls.
Although the number is lower than the 10-percent increase they projected, Commission on Elections (Comelec) 7 Election Director Rene Buac said that local poll offices have done their best to accommodate all registrants up to the last minute of the registration period.
Comelec Provincial Election Supervisor Lionel Marco Castillano lamented that the Central Office only gave each election office a copy of the COC per position.
The implication is that candidates would have to photocopy the Comelec's copy to file the COC.
A candidate needs six copies to be an official candidate, one copy would be for the candidate's copy.
In Cebu City, Comelec's offices in the north and south district recorded the total number of voters registered since Dec. 2 last year, but the election officers said the number could still increase or decrease by a few hundreds.
The south district office recorded a total of 280,505 registered voters with 55,393 new registrants, while the north district office has 237,293 registered voters, with at least 22,000 new registrants from July to Oct. 31.
Records
Cebu City had 486,711 voters in the October 2007 barangay elections, and 460,978 voters in the mayoral elections in May 2007.
Lawyer Marchel Sarno, north district election officer, said they will still have to remove from the list those who registered twice and add or remove those who transferred
their voter's registration records.
Those who died in the last quarter of the year would also be removed from the voter's list if the local registrar bothered to inform the poll offices of the deaths they recorded, Buac said.
For his part, Sarno said he finds the six-percent increase regular since his office expected a five to 10 percent hike, "anything beyond that could be doubted because it is more than the expected statistics."
Hearing
"We were hoping for a 10 percent increase in the number of voters but daghan man tingaling gikapuyan ug parehistro, although gamay ra man sad ang kuwang. Mu-fluctuate pa hinoon ang number because the ERB hearing has just started today," he said.
Sarno said they had completed their Election Registration Board (ERB) hearing yesterday, and did not receive any petition opposing the registration of former senator John Henry "Sonny" Osmeña and Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) President Winston Garcia.
Osmeña transferred his voters' registration records from Toledo City to Cebu City's north district poll office in preparation for his candidacy for city mayor.
Garcia is now a registered voter of the city's north district after transferring his records from Mandaue City.
Assistant election officer for the north district Tessie Mercado said they hope to receive all records of double registrants and those who transferred their registration records by second week of December.
In the south district office, assistant election officer Sonny de los Reyes said they also have to remove the double registrants and transferred records before they complete the final list.
Meanwhile, the ERB in Cebu Province is currently in the process of approving the list of registrants from yesterday until Friday, which is also the first day of the filing of COCs.
The ERB is also accepting oppositions to registrations.
The oppositions will be filed before the local ERB composed of the election officer, the local civil registrar and the highest ranking Department of Education (DepEd) representative in the municipality or component city.
ERB will hear the opposition.

Voters looking for leader against corruption - survey
Lider na hindi corrupt at kayang labanan ang katiwalian. Ito ang hinahanap ng mga botante ayon sa Pulse Asia survey. Kung gagawin ang halalan ngayon, si Senador Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III ang mananalong pangulo base sa resulta ng pinakahuling Pulse Asia survey.
Aquino tops Oct. survey of presidential bets
The nationwide survey, conducted from October 22 to 30, was undertaken solely by Pulse Asia on the "Filipinos' Presidential Preference for the May 2010 Elections."
Forty-four percent of the respondents said they would elect Aquino as the next President if the May 2010 elections were held now. Following Aquino were Senator Manuel Villar of the Nacionalista Party (NP) with 19 percent, Senator Francis G. Escudero with 13 percent, and former President Joseph Estrada with 11 percent.
The other presidential hopeful included in the survey registered at most 4 percent, including Vice President Noli De Castro who got 4 percent and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, standard-bearer of the administration party Lakas-Kampi-CMD, who got 2 percent.
Less than one in ten Filipinos (4 percent) does not have a favored presidential candidate at the moment, according to the survey.
Last month, Escudero resigned from the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC), but did not say if he is no longer seeking the presidency.
In expressing their voting preference, respondents cited the presidential hopefuls' clean public record (malinis) or alternatively, not being corrupt (hindi kurakot), according to the polling agency.
The survey, which had 1,800 respondents who are of voting age, was conducted through face-to-face interviews. It had a +/-2 percent error margin at the 95 percent confidence level.
According to Pulse Asia, the following developments dominated the news headlines during the conduct of the survey: (1) the formal declaration of former President Joseph Estrada of his bid for the presidency in 2010 and questions raised regarding the legality of this bid; (2) Senator Loren Legarda's declaration of her plans for the May 2010 elections and Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Ronaldo V. Puno's withdrawal from the vice-presidential race; (3) Senator Francis G. Escudero's departure from the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC);
(4) the continuing search for a running mate by both Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilbert C. Teodoro Jr. and Senator Manuel B. Villar Jr.; (4) the long lines of late registrants catching the last days of registration for the May 2010 elections; (5) the resignation of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr.; (6) continuing relief efforts in the aftermath of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, as well as the arrival of two new storms; and (7) the freeze on oil prices and other energy products, as well as basic commodities, imposed by the government.
Mar leads Loren by 14% in Oct survey
Roxas got 37% preference or a 14% margin over Nationalist People's Coalition bet Sen. Loren Legarda's 23% in the October 22-30 Ulat ng Bayan survey of Pulse Asia.
Ulat ng Bayan surveys are done by Pulse Asia on its own "without any party singularly commissioning the research effort," the polling firm said.
Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay, the running mate of former President Joseph Estrada, was statistically tied in third place with incumbent Vice-President Noli de Castro with 13% and 11% preferences, respectively.
Lakas-Kampi-CMD's vice-presidential candidate, actor-TV host Edu Manzano, was not included in the survey since he only declared his bid last Friday (November 13) after accepting the offer from the ruling party.
Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Ramon 'Bong' Revilla were tied with 4% preference each.
Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Bayani Fernando, Sen. Richard Gordon, Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno were tied with 1% preference each.
"There are no significant movements in the voter preferences of those individuals included in Pulse Asia's August and October 2009 vice-presidential probes as changes range only from -4 percentage points for Vice-President de Castro to +4 percentage points for Sen. Legarda," Pulse Asia said.
The survey used face-to-face interviews with 1,800 respondents. It has a margin of error of plus/minus 2%.
Respondents were asked: "Of the people on this list, whom would you vote for as vice-president of the Philippines if the elections were held today and they were vice-presidential candidates?"
