So is this why former NEDA chief Romulo Neri, during the Senate hearings last week, tried his darndest best to shield Arroyo? Read Mangahas’s report here.

Free At Last. Pastor Berlin Guerrero of the National Council of Churches of the Philippines, shown above with wife Mylene, was released after 15 months in police detention.

A court ordered him released on Sept. 11. (Photo by arkibongbayan.org)

Displaced. Residents of North Cotabato have been the ones badly affected by the military offensives launched against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
