		Pimentel called on legislators from both the Senate and House of Representatives to see to it that these inquiries are finished to their logical conclusion.
		Pimentel said the failure of these committees to complete the probe of certain fraudulent government deals and to establish the liability or guilt of the parties involved largely explains the people’s feeling of disenchantment over legislative investigations.
		Pimentel said the inquiries are necessary to maintain the sacrosanct principle of check and balance among the three independent branches of government.

	The Asia Rice Foundation: Philippines Rice Articles
		Pimentel said scientific studies have shown that brown rice is rich in vitamins and minerals not found in white varieties.
		According to Pimentel, brown rice or pinawa in Tagalog had been a common fare on the Filipino dining table until the early 1950s when the primitive methods of removing the hull or husk by hand-pounding or stone-grinding were replaced by modern rice mills.
		Pimentel said it is heartening to note that there are enterprising groups in the agricultural research and media sectors that have gone out of their way to revive this "lost health food" and make it part of the regular Filipino diet.

	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 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 added that the recent report in Cavite involving Comelec personnel wherein they supposedly tampered with the master list of voters in the area could be part of a scheme to bloat the number of registered voters.

		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 Malaysia's actuation clearly indicates that it is trying to pressure the Philippines into finally giving up the territorial claim to Sabah, which is part of the Sulu Sultanate by historic and legal right.
		Pimentel recalled the deportation and cruel treatment of thousands of undocumented Filipinos from Sabah in 2002 caused tension between the Philippines and Malaysia, prompting Manila to lodge a diplomatic protest with Kuala Lumpur.
		Describing Malaysia as not the ideal third-country broker of the Mindanao peace talks because of the unresolved dispute over Sabah, Pimentel said this is one of the primary reasons why he has been batting for the entry of the United States as mediator in the government's peace talks with the MILF.

	Pimentel kicks off campaign to cleanse electoral process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		Pimentel's visit to Baguio was the first in a nationwide attempt to document election anomalies for the ultimate objective of cleansing the electoral system of fraud.
		Pimentel, who is still agonizing over the tedious process of filing cases on provincial levels the dagdag-bawas scheme perpetrated against him in 1995, has embarked on a nationwide campaign to prompt candidates who have been cheated in the last election to file charges against those who connived to help unscrupulous politicians steal the elections.
		Pimentel showed the media spread sheets and computer outputs of names that showed the same names listed but with different addresses, names were identical but had different middle names, and other sorts of name juggling, but all amounting to a significant number of votes that could only point to cheating.

		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.

	News Summaries on Mindanao Conflict, May 2003
		In this context, Pimentel said the Macapagal administration has resorted to "dagdag-bawas" with Presidential Chief of Staff Rigoberto Tiglao's assertion over the weekend that there were only 3,500 civilian evacuees from the Mindanao conflict, rather than the 318,000 displaced persons the senator had earlier claimed.
		Pimentel said the 350,000 figure was the unofficial estimate of Mindanao-based nongovernment organizations monitoring the movement of evacuees in Zamboanga del Norte, Lanao del Sur and Norte, Maguindanao and North Cotabato, and the wire agency MindaNews.
		On Sunday, Tiglao refuted Pimentel's figures, saying the senator may have confused them with the total number of civilians who had been in and out of evacuation centers since the start of the year.

		Pimentel, principal author of the Local Government Code (Republic Act 7160), said the low turnout during the May 17-18 registration of youth voters is a valid ground to scrap the SK.
		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.

	The Manila Times Internet Edition \| WEEKEND > The senator and his enduring vocation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		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.
