The registration target, according to GFN, was disclosed in a Comelec forum held last October 5 with community leaders at the Philippine Consulate General [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been joked about that cases against erring government officials are like the lyrics of the song “Mona Lisa” because cases have been brought to justice’s doorstep but “they just lie there and they die there”. Our lawyers are very adept at prolonging the judicial processes of cases that seem patently indefensible and desperately [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Soon Pnoy will deliver his SONA after a year in office. Don’t mistake this for Sojo’s SONA, a rude but clever way of attracting attention which media is often guilty of. Sojo may have unwittingly vandalized a traditional, important and anticipated report coming from no less than the highest post of the land. Although Sojo’s naming of her program came much earlier on it does contribute to the more recent effort of some to put down the president’s SONA as a trivial piece of prose [...]]]></description>

There are plenty of examples in world history where these debacles are feted and celebrated on the date of their occurrence. The Fall of the [...]]]></description>

At EDSA I (1986), we Filipinos and our military toppled a long-standing dictatorship. Critical masses of people filled the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA); our people’s pent-up desire for freedom and [...]]]></description>

That was exactly the same CPI score the country had last year. With a 2.4 score, the Philippines is in [...]]]></description>
