                    [Summary] => While the whole attention of the nation is focused on the Senate investigation being conducted on the alleged misdeeds of former General Panfilo Lacson, there are pressing problems that deserve our attention. First is the garbage problem in Metro Manila. It is getting worse everyday and the rains that we have been getting could easily trigger an outbreak of water-borne diseases like cholera, dysentery, hepatitis B and C and typhoid. So far we have been lucky. But all the conditions for a possible epidemic of several diseases are all there.

                    [Summary] => 

Despite the recent increases in oil prices, fares in jeepneys, buses, taxi cabs
and even tricycles all over the country will remain the same.

"I have good news for our riding public: the bus, jeepney, taxi and tricycle
will not have any increase in fares," he said.

The President, along with several of his Cabinet men, met with 14 transport
leaders for two hours at Malacañang yesterday.

The so-called inept, corrupt and undisciplined (ICU) Manila policemen are now
under one roof. They were all assigned to the Western Police District (WPD)'s
District Headquarters Support Unit (DHSU) where they will be periodically
assessed to determine their continued stay with the Manila police force.

Metro Manila police director Chief Superintendent Edgar Aglipay created
yesterday a committee for a stepped up campaign to weed out scalawags and
misfits and also monitor policemen absent from their beats or not wearing
proper uniforms.

against inept, corrupt and undisciplined (ICU) cops, Aglipay said.
