Sarangani gov is new Lakas-Kampi CMD prexy
MANILA - The ruling party Lakas-Kampi Christian Muslim Democrats, the largest political party in the country, has a new national president.
In an exclusive interview, Sarangani Gov. Miguel Rene Dominguez said he has accepted the appointment to be the party's president three days ago, replacing Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita.
Dominguez said partymates told him that he was unanimously voted to be the next Lakas-Kampi national president.
He said Ermita gave former defense chief and Lakas-Kampi CMD standard bearer Gilbert Teodoro a free hand to choose who will lead the party. Dominguez is a close friend of Teodoro.
The governor said that as party president, his main role will be to keep the party intact amid reports of massive defections of partymates. He added that he will remain governor and will never leave his constituents. With a report from Jay Dayupay, ABS-CBN News General Santos

JUSTICES FOR POOR FILIPINO VICTIMS
The Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway was a flagship project of President Gloria Arroyo, together with the Cojuangco-Aquino family, owners of Hacienda Luisita, and the Lopez family through First Philippine Infrastructure Inc..
The Japan Bank and International Corp. funded the project through a special yen loan amounting to P21.393 billion. The state-owned Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) provided P4 billion as counterpart.
Remulla said the issue affects taxpayers because of the loan component. “It's a heavy burden for taxpayers.”
We the FILIPINO people will pay for their socialized loan.These budget are equivalent of all budget for the whole country.Because of Noynoy/Cojuangco- ARROYO,the arroyo administrations put all the money in one place,instead the budget are for the whole country.
