Front page news are two items which should be funny, only because they're together.
One story recounts the testimony of Sen. Aquilino Pimentel regarding the second envelope as evidence in the Estrada Senate Impeachment investigation. The subsequent downfall of Mr. Estrada was due to the Senate vote not to open the second envelope. There were several things noteworthy about Sen. Pimentel's testimony. But suffice it to say, that this was a trail of money-laundering kickbacks and payolas related to jueteng.
And on the main story is the eyewitness account detailing the involvement (where and how much) of government officials to jueteng. The list includes the Presidential son and Pampanga Vice-Governor Mikey Arroyo. Supposedly, he's receiving 600,000 pesos a month with a former Vice-Mayor as bagman.
This should be fun.
