Criminals getting younger by the day
BY ISMAEL AMIGO
OUR National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, must be turning in his grave right now.
He has all the reason to do so because some of the youth he called as "future of the nation" are turning into criminals, no thanks to the Juvenile Justice System Act of 2006.
Criminals are getting younger and younger by the day since the law that exempts minors 15-years old and younger from criminal liability, and allows punishment for those 15 to 18 if proven they acte... Continue reading ...

Had Malacanang ordered it earlier, several lives could have been saved, including that of journalist Lourdes Simbulan, better known in the media industry as Chit Estrella, whose taxi she was riding been was rammed by a bus along Commonwealth Avenue. But lives have already been sacrificed and now, P-Noy’s move is seen as a “knee-jerk” reaction to a problem that c... Continue reading ...

While it’s good to show the public that he is a hands-on Chief Executive, some, including former President Fidel Ramos, are saying that he should let the Philippine National Police (PNP) handle such situations.
FVR described P-Noy’s move as “bakya”... Continue reading ...
