The headline (Talks to take up NPA tax. Stop paying insurgents, gov’t asks businesses) is a continuation of the news on alleged mining company's extortions by the NPA, this time from the point of view of the government negotiating team panel member, who asked the mining companies why they are paying money to the rebel group when he should have asked himself the question. The report also feature comments by a member of the President's communication group. The 2nd half of the report turned out to look like a repeat of the same report yesterday. The report also includes comments from Senators Honasan and Recto. Aquino +1. Recto +1.
