[Title] => 11 jailed ‘punks’ to face police ‘tormentors’ in court
[Summary] => LA TRINIDAD, Benguet — Eleven "punks" who were arrested last Feb. 14 for allegedly taking part in the New People’s Army (NPA) raid on a military detachment in Mankayan, Benguet, are facing their "police tormentors" in court this coming week.
Lawyer Pablito Sanidad of the Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG), who is leading a battery of human rights lawyers and veteran legal professionals aiding the "punks," said six policemen will be quizzed on why they effected the arrest without any warrant.

[Title] => Judgment frightens new KB witnesses
[Summary] => Prosecutors of the Kuratong Baleleng multiple-murder case couldn’t believe that Judge Teresa Yadao had dismissed it just like that. And as they decried in a press conference yesterday her bias for principal accused Sen. Panfilo Lacson, they couldn’t believe their ears either as the news blared on radio. President Gloria Arroyo was calling on them to stop chiding Yadao and just abide by the ruling.

A heated argument over a routine Land Transport Office checkpoint inspection led to the shooting of the LTO assistant district chief in Calapan, Oriental Mindoro and two businessmen, one of whom succumbed to a gunshot wound.
Describing himself as a law-abiding public servant, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian broke his silence yesterday about the involvement of his family in the Cadillac vehicle with a Senate protocol plate that illegally entered the EDSA busway.
The Land Transportation Office has resorted to issuing certificates of registration printed on plain bond paper as the National Printing Office missed its security paper delivery.
The driver of a luxury sports utility vehicle (SUV) with a protocol plate for senators, who illegally used the EDSA busway on Sunday, November 3, has surrendered to the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
Two days after a Cadillac Escalade entered the EDSA busway and nearly hit a traffic enforcer, with the passenger giving the enforcers the dirty finger as the sport utility vehicle sped away, the Land Transportation Office has yet to trace the owner of the SUV.
