CONGRESSMAN [Roilo] Golez's concern that biofuels will eat into food security -- specifically, "making beer more expensive" -- strains credulity. Couldn't he at least think of other, more plausible reasons besides worrying about a more expensive alcoholic drink? -- Perla Limbaga Manapol, Banga, Aklan, Philippines (via e-mail)

SHAME on you media, especially ABS-CBN! You think you're above the law? You are as arrogant as Trillanes & Co. You should show more respect for the authorities who are only there to protect the people (including you) and uphold the law. It is always a lose-lose situation when the police face the egoistic media. If all hell broke loose during the Manila Pen standoff and some media men lost their lives, the police will be blamed, but then if the police try to [perform] their duties, the media cries harassment. You think only GMA should reform? Think again; the media should reform too. -- Orly Nazareno, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (via e-mail)
