Emergency. A scene from "Ambulancia," a short film that tells of a painful twist in an ambulance driver's belief that a dying patient can be saved by running over stray animals on the streets. The award-winning film will be screened at the so-called "Woodstock of short films" in Germany. Richard Legaspi directed the film and it stars Alan Paule and Nor Domingo. (Contributed photo)

Mangled and Mutilated. Rey Cayago, an activist who previously worked for the migrant group Migrante, has been found dead, his head cut off, his face and body mangled. Family and friends denounced the military for the atrocity; the armed forces had alleged that Cayago was a communist guerrilla who was killed in a firefight in the Cordilleras. But human-rights groups contend that even if Cayago were a rebel, what happened to him was "inexcusable" and a "blatant violation of the protocols of war." Click here for the story.

Unrealistic Deadline. Newly installed Armed Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Alexander Yano, shown here during the installation on Saturday of Maj. Gen. Armando Cunanan as the new chief of the Eastern Mindanao Command in Davao City, admitted that the deadline set by the Arroyo government for the defeat of the New People's Army by 2010 is not realistic.
