INCOMPETENT PNP: The Quirino Grandstand Carnage
Share
The Philippine National Police (PNP) became the laughing stock of all law enforcements here in the planet, with the way they handled the Quirino Grandstand hostage crisis. Not only that, their so-called prestigious name became synonymous with this word: INCOMPETENT.

More environmental and religious groups have expressed outrage over the prestigious conservation award President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is set to receive at the US Congress in Washington on Tuesday.
Ms Arroyo is also scheduled to receive another award this [...]
College Course
Share
Probably the question that is running through the heads of graduating high school seniors today: What will be my college course in the next semester?
