                    [Title] => Garbage in Metro Manila / Water in Mt. Pinatubo
                    [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.
