Juan Miguel Zubiri referred to the "Senate minority leader," not Majority Leader Francis Pangilinan, when he was quoted in a story posted September 2. Zubiri said: "The same group of oppositionists who wants to trample on civil liberties by opening and listening to the Garci tapes were the same people who put pages and pages of amendments sa Human Security Act to prevent such thing from happening ... the Senate minority leader and Ping Lacson ... they were adamant putting safeguards in the Human Security Act against wiretapping, and yet they're the same group that insists on dwelling on the issue of wiretapping and playing the tape." The Senate minority leader is Sen. Aquilino Pimentel Jr." Apparently, the reporter misheard Zubiri when he said "Senate minority leader," thinking he was referring to the Senate Majority Leader. Zubiri's voice on tape, especially in this portion of the interview, was low and it took a second hearing for the editors to realize that he was referring to the Senate minority leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. Posted by : Inquirer Northern Luzon Bureau | Links 2007-09-01, 02:07:00, Wrong author's name An article posted July 16, 2007 with the title "Art of convalescence"--misstated the name of the author of the children's book "Ang Batang Maraming Bawal."
