		<title>High school students learn social justice and accountability in “special lesson” on Corona impeachment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Prepped by what their teacher called a “special lesson” on the Corona impeachment case, the students yesterday learned concepts of social justice and accountability through a classroom discussion and live viewing of the Senate proceedings, analysis of the political landscape, and planning of their engagement on the issue.
According to Araling Panlipunan teacher Mabelle Caboboy, “Special lessons on the impeachment ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Without doubt, the series of bilateral talks between high level official of the US and Philippine governments are clearly paving the way to allow US troops to engage in direct military operations in the Philippines.   
According to Terry Ridon, Kabataan Partylist spokesperson, no prohibition exists in the 1987 Constitution, the Mutual Defense Treaty and the Visiting Forces Agreement disallowing the engagement of foreign troops in direct combat operations.
“As long as Malacanang and the Senate ratifies and confirms, respectively, the entry of foreign troops into the country, the extent ...]]></description>

Madame Speaker, my dear colleagues in the House, a pleasant afternoon.
I rise to speak on the killing of Gerardo Ortega or Doc Gerry, a radio talk show host, veterinarian and environmental defender, who was shot dead in the back of the head in a thrift store in Puerto Princesa City, where he was shopping shortly after his daily broadcast on Radyo Mo Nationwide (RMN).

As youth groups intensified relief efforts with schools to aid typhoon victims, the P21.7 billion calamity budget for 2012 was questioned in the absence of a proper disaster plan that should be created and installed by the national government to mitigate disasters.
In the 2012 General Appropriations Act (GAA) recently approved by President Benigno Aquino III, P7.5 billion was allocated for the calamity fund while P14.2 billion was set for disaster risk reduction and management activities under the unprogrammed funds.
