ANG YAMAN NINA HENERAL Ulat ni Jiggy Manicad Parehong naglingkod bilang comptroller sa Armed Forces of the Philippines o AFP sina Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia at Lt. Gen. Jacinto Ligot, ang posisyong nagsisilbing finance manager ng Sandatahang Lakas. Pero ang posisyong minsan nilang hinawakan, hanggang ngayo'y naglalagay sa kanila sa gitna ng eskandalo. Ang dalawang retiradong heneral, kapwa rin inaakusahan ng pagkakaroon umano ng mga tagong yaman. Base sa kanyang Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth o SALN noong 2003, mahigit dalawang miyong piso ang deklaradong yaman ni Garcia. Pero sa ginawang imbestigasyon noon ng Ombudsman, lumobo sa mahigit tatlong daang milyong piso umano ang kanyang kabuuang yaman. Si Ligot naman, nabulgar ang umano'y hindi maipaliwanag na kayamanan kabilang na ang sinasabing ilang ari-arian sa Amerika. Saan nga ba galing ang kanilang kayamanan? STALKING Ulat ni Maki Pulido Nag-uumpisa sa simpleng pagmamanman hanggang ang ilang kaso'y nauuwi sa malakihang paglapastangan. Ito ang nakababahalang dinanas ng ilang biktima ng stalking. Paano nga ba mapo-protektahan ang mga biktimang gaya nila?
