Baguio Child Killer Deserves The Most Painful

Suspect: Philip Avino
This is another senseless crime committed against children and whose motive is as flimsy as blaming onions for making you cry during a sad movie.

The gruesome scene occurred on last 6 April 2014 in Baguio City. The casualty: five persons, including three minors.

Massacre Victims in Oriental Mindoro Deserve Justice

Justice for Massacre Victims
There house may be far, isolated and hard to reach, but it does not mean that the family who were killed should not get justice.

Worse and chilling about this incident is that the suspects did not even spare the life of a 2-year old boy when they opened fire at a house of a farmer around 8:00 AM in Sitio Tubigan, Barangay Labonan, Bonganon, Oriental Mindoro.

Women Who Changed The World, Part 1

Women Changers Part 1
Whenever we celebrate the International Women's Day (IWD), it is prudent to know that the observance was a result of the organizing activities of women in the early 20th Century. Between 1909 and 1911, working women in the United States participated in organizing strike activities of the National Women’s Trade Union League and other concerned groups. They were responding to the low wages, lack of protective legislation and the poor working conditions to which women workers were subjected during that time.

This year's celebration of Women's Month pays tribute to the strong and resilient "Juanas" who brought inspiring changes here in the country and across the globe.

"Speaking Up" Against An Abusive BI Officer

Abusive BI Officer
A teacher named Roselle Carreon posted an article in Facebook entitled, "What should you do when a public servant asks you to 'SHUT UP': SPEAK UP!" on 25 March 2014. She recounted what she and her husband experienced when they went to the Bureau of Immigration's (BI) Makati extension office on 24 March 2014 to settle her husband's Alien Certificate of Registration Identity (ACR I) card.

In her post, she related that her husband had "properly" asked a certain Carlo Salazar, who she assumed was the office supervisor, if she could claim the ID in his behalf as he would be out of the country by the time it would be released. What she got as a response, totally surprised her.
