NPOV issue with the 2006 part of the Timeline edit

The entry in the Timeline for the year 2006 uses words and terminologies that call into question its neutrality.

In particular, the line, "With the marching orders and blessings of Lakas, LP members sympathetic to the Arroyo administration used the meeting on 2 March to install Manila Mayor Lito Atienza as the party" prejudges the actions of the other faction of the LP, and is a common claim both by the faction headed by Sen. Franklin Drilon and persons that are against Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Unless a citation proving that there was indeed "marching ordders and blessings of LAKAS" to the other faction of the LP can be provided, the entry for the year 2006 should be revised, in keeping with NPOV guidelines. That, or post the claims of the Atienza camp.

Otherwise, that post on the 2006 event is simply a parroting of the Drilon faction's press releases. The Drilon faction has its own website, at the very least, to post stuff like that, and such propaganda should have no place in a public encyclopedia.

Also, a cursory reading of Philippine political news, even the ones in online news organizaitons, will show that the split in the Liberal Party started much earlier than the "Manila Hotel" incident of 2006. --AzurePhoenix (talk) 07:00, 24 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
