		<description><![CDATA[Accidents happen, true. But many &#8220;accidents&#8221; should not have happened if only rules and regulations were followed. The recent incident at the Tikling Junction in Taytay, Rizal drives home the point. A dump truck crossed the busy intersection &#8212; in full speed &#8212; killing at least 5.

		<description><![CDATA[A warrant of arrest has been issued against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in connection with the electoral sabotage filed against her and other respondents, including former COMELEC Chairman Benjamin Abalos. This is non-bailable, so any talk of a watch list or Hold Departure Order (HDO) is moot at this point. All the accused cannot leave [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The existence of red tape is known to almost every Filipino that transacts with government offices, yet only a small percentage of them probably knows that a law exists to eliminate red tape and punish the culprits in perpetuating it. Congress enacted Republic Act No. 9485, also known as the &#8220;Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007&#8220;. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A vigilante is a private individual who legally or illegally punishes an alleged lawbreaker, or participates in a group which metes out extralegal punishment to an alleged lawbreaker.
