		Pimentel denounced as a barefaced lie the insinuation of administration lawyers that he was not content with having the COCs as basis for counting the votes for president but was content with the same document in canvassing the votes for senators.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Oil firms should be investigated for string of price increases
		Pimentel said he made the proposal after learning from the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), the central collection points for world oil information, that there is no worldwide oil crisis.
		Pimentel said he cannot understand why the prices of petroleum products in the country have risen so high when world oil production is not diminished.
		Pimentel said that today, oil prices are largely set in the futures market, with two principal locales dominating the futures trading-the London-based International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) established in 1980, and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), which is more than a century old, but first started trading oil futures in 1983.

		Pimentel, a human rights advocate, said the public is entitled to determine the truth behind the government’s allegations that the suspects were out to mount a series of bombings in shopping malls and trains in Metro Manila.
		Pimentel said the people has not even seen the apprehended suspects or the cache of explosives allegedly confiscated from their safe house since President Arroyo and police and military top brass disclosed the government’s alleged successful operations to foil terrorist bombings in Metro Manila.
		Pimentel said the authorities should justify their arrest and continued detention in the face of allegations by leaders of the Muslim community in Metro Manila that those arrested were fall guys and that the whole thing was a “moro-moro” (charade).

		Pimentel admitted that he had initially favored a Con-con composed of popularly elected district delegates but he realized that it would be too costly in terms of salaries and other operational expenses.
		Pimentel said the cost of holding a Con-con has prompted lawmakers to seriously consider converting Congress into a constituent assembly but the Senate and the House of Representatives have yet to agree on key aspects of the process.
		Pimentel, for his part, was wary that while a constituent assembly would cost less, "there is some fear that the amendments that may be adopted by the constituent assembly may not be acceptable to the people considering the low survey rating of Congress."

		Pimentel said federalism is the best way to effectively govern the Philippines, which is an archipelago of over 7,100 islands with a population of 80 million and growing.
		Pimentel added that the diversity of cultures and languages in the country also supports the school of thought that the Philippines would develop better under a federal form of government.
		Pimentel said the Bangsamoro Federal State should cover the areas predominantly populated by Muslim Filipinos and that, in that proposed state, Sharia’ah law should be adopted for the purpose of settling disputes between Muslim litigants.

		Pimentel said this is shown by the failure of the Senate committee on games and amusement, which Lapid chairs, and the committee on public order and illegal drugs chaired by Sen. Manuel Villar to invite Pineda, also President Arroyo’s compadre, and his wife Lubao (Pampanga) Mayor Lilia Pineda to the Senate inquiry on "jueteng-gate."
		Pimentel has repeatedly asked the two committees to invite the Pinedas, and other alleged jueteng operators Batangas Gov. Armando Sanchez and Rosario Magbuhos to the inquiry.

	The Manila Times Internet Edition \| WEEKEND > The senator and his enduring vocation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Even when Pimentel fell victim to the massive “Dagdag-Bawas” fraud in his senatorial bid in 1995–proof of which he established before the Senate Electoral Tribunal–he never ceased to take an active role in working out the seemingly irresolvable Mindanao crisis, and providing free legal assistance to many less fortunate Filipinos as a private citizen.
		Surprisingly, in over three decades, none of the political difficulties Pimentel experienced and witnessed–his arrests and detentions in the Martial Law era; his ouster from office by the Marcos government as mayor of Cagayan de Oro; his detractors’ continued criticisms; and the worsening problems of the nation–has dampened his will to remain in government.
		Pimentel describes local government officials in those days as mere “messenger boys” of the central government–officials who knew what the constituents needed, but whose hands were tied in providing those very services.

		Pimentel said the poor turnout of voters in the May 17-18 registration showed the indifference and disenchatment of the youth over state of affairs in the SK.
		Pimentel said the SK was created in 1991 under the Local Government Code to replace the discredited Kabataang Barangay (KB) of the Marcos era.

	Full Articles and Photos: Pimentel: Arroyo benefited from jueteng
		Pimentel, who, along with Senate President Franklin Drilon, had sought a Senate inquiry into allegations that members of the First Family had been receiving protection money, was responding to the question of why he thought Ms Arroyo had not directly ordered provincial police commanders or governors to stop jueteng operations in their areas.
		Pimentel said that apart from the 24 witnesses to be presented at the Senate inquiry, five more were willing to talk about the people on the jueteng take.
		Pimentel also said that even before Ms Arroyo became president, he had been advocating a shift to a federal system from the present presidential form of government.

		Pimentel said lawmakers should lead the people by example and respect the law —especially since they are responsible for making laws.

		Pimentel arrived here amid the political scandal that rocked the Chretien government sparked by the wrongdoing of his two Cabinet members.

		Pimentel said Zuce’s claim could not be ignored because the latter is by affinity a relative of Garcillano and they talked with each other shortly before the surprise witness bared that Comelec regional directors and provincial election supervisors involved in the special operations had received payoffs.
		Pimentel said Zuce’s expose indicated that Garcillano had already been tapped by the President for the special operations for her candidacy as early as 2002 or two years before Garcillano was appointed Comelec commissioner on Feb. 7, 2004.
		Pimentel was the first to object to Garcillano’s appointment as Comelec commissioner, along with former Comelec Chairman Christian Monsod.

		Pimentel also said that the tribunal "will not allow itself to become a kangaroo court." "Neither will the Senate be rushed into acquitting the President without serious consideration of the evidence that will be presented by the impeachment prosecutors of the House," he said.

		He said the dream of Filipinos for honest and orderly elections would remain that for as long as the national leadership remains insincere in modernizing the electoral system through reforms and computerization.
		Arroyo, who has vowed to leave a legacy of credible and fraud-free election, was catapulted to a second term in an election described the dirtiest and bloodiest in the country’s history,” Pimentel said.

		Malacañang, for its part, also yesterday challenged Pimentel to file an impeachment case against the President for the truth to be known by the public with regard to the accusations that the Chief Executive used public funds for her campaign kitty last year.
		Pimentel chastised Malacañang for attempting to turn the tables on him by saying he is merely out for publicity, maintaning that the matter he raised is a serious concern.
		He admitted he was surprised at the move taken by Pimentel as this could prove disadvantageous, considering that in the event the subject prospers in the House of Representatives, the matter could be used to disqualify Pimentel from sitting as senator-judge in an impeachment trial.
