The Supreme Court stops the Commission on Elections (Comelec)  from removing  the “Team Patay/Team Buhay” poster of the Catholic Church hitting pro-RH candidates.

Controversial poster will stay alive and kicking — until further notice and damage.

The Church, through Bacolod Bishop Vicente Navarra, invokes freedom of expression, prompting the High Tribunal to issue a temporary restraining order, pending oral arguments on March 19.

TRO means Talk “Reproductive” Openly. He-he!

The controversy will enliven political debate in the run-up to the May elections.

But it may also bring political death to some candidates.

***

Team PNoy dismisses claims by UNA bets that it will be adversely affected by the Sabah issue.

Muslims who joined the “Reclaim Sabah” trip can’t likely vote for both parties. Whew!

***

The BIR serves notice that it will monitor the fund-raising activities of candidates while the Comelec says it will watch the spending/advertising  pattern of candidates.

Watch out. BIR and ‘Boy Bawal’ are on the prowl vs ‘Boy Kolek’ and ‘Boy Gasta.’

Meanwhile, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) says that the Aquino Administration will boost its spending for infrastructure as well as other “promising sectors.”

 Spend and create more jobs — without committing electioneering.

 Budget and Management Secretary Florencio B. Abad adds that the government would further improve the pace, efficiency, and quality of public expenditure in 2014 to promote inclusive economic growth.

Yes to more action and inclusive growth for PH.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) also earmarks R12 billion for the tourism infrastructure program that would involve the construction and rehabilitation of roads leading to tourist destinations, as it targets more foreign tourists and 35.5 million domestic tourists by 2016.

Have more roads and infra, we’ll travel. He-he!
