The Facebook page of ANC 24/7 is asking for its reader's suggestion on how to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem. This got me thinking, "what is the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem?" It's easy to make suggestions, what's hard is the implementation and the cost of implementation. So what is the the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem and the most cost effective solution?

The GMA regime became the big blow to the image of Angie Reyes.

Sad as this development is, it cannot be made an excuse to relent on the quest for truth and justice.

There are good reasons — compassion foremost of these — to feel emotional about this tragedy but the national quest for truth and justice must not waver."
