(Updated 12:51am, Saturday November 28) The Maguindanao Massacre, with a death toll of 64 at the time of this writing, has once again put Mindanao on the national spotlight, and even in the international spotlight. With the death of members of a political family, including lawyers, and members of media, this tragedy has not only [...]
When news being brought to the viewing screen – radio, TV, print – are our only source of data from which to form certain views, even judgments, then it is not far removed that some people may have similar points of view in relation to others with dissimilar ones. In short, the breaking news surrounding [...]
Foreign Human Traffickers Prey On Filipinas Human traffickers are on the prowl with Filipinas among their victims in Malaysia and Singapore.
Dispatches from the Enchanted Kingdom Business Mirror Wednesday, 25 March 2009 The tabloid’s headline said, “Arroyo orders raps vs DOJ, PDEA personnel. Also criminal charges vs ‘Alabang Boys’.” I read the story and I don’t know what to make of it. Did Arroyo believe the Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors were bribed? Did she think [...]
It ought to be crystal clear by now, however improbable it might be to change prevailing public sentiment on the matter, that PDEA chief Santiago and PDEA agent Major Marcelino fairly succeeded to have us believe of the myth of a P50 million bribery to DOJ state prosecutors from the camp of the drug suspects.

This unduly creates the public perception that the DOJ prosecutors involved in the now famous case of Alabang boys have in [...]
Tri-media may have wittingly or unwittingly over-fixated itself with the case of so-called Alabang boys where sons of apparently wealthy families from Alabang have been arrested by agents of PDEA in an alleged buy-bust operation. The viewing universe is given sufficient enough regular dosage of news as the case develops and there is no controlling [...]
The House inquiry on the resolution of dismissal by the DOJ of the trumpeted drug pushing of scions of well –connected families has assumed from the first day of its investigation as a comedy to a total tragedy and the victims are the Alabang Boys. If the resolution of dismissal by Prosecutor John Resado is [...]
