One concrete step that government can take to stop the killing of journalists and political activists is for it to stop buying small arms and light weapons and to create stricter laws to regulate the use of firearms.

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been asked several times why AKBAYAN is still pushing for the impeachment complaint, when it appears that the process is doomed. Here&#8217;s a speech I delivered today to answer those questions. On Impeaching President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Privilege Speech AKBAYAN Representative Ana Theresia Hontiveros-Baraquel Delivered August 2, 2006 Ginoong Speaker, mga ginagalang na kapwa kinatawan, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=akbayanrisa.wordpress.com&amp;blog=153042&amp;post=69&amp;subd=akbayanrisa&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Speaker Jose de Venecia today said that the government should send a peacekeeping contingent to Lebanon. We in AKBAYAN believe that with the problems facing our peacekeeping operations, such a move will be suicidal. Our troops abroad are underpaid and ill-equipped, so how are they going to survive the worsening situation in Lebanon? We also [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=akbayanrisa.wordpress.com&amp;blog=153042&amp;post=68&amp;subd=akbayanrisa&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Read between the lines: ‘Mega-projects’ mean Mega-Pork barrel for President GMA The SONA sounded like a campaign speech because that is exactly what it was all about. She literally foisted the pork barrel upon Congress and the local governments in exchange for their loyalty. The speech sought to accomplish two things. First, it was an [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=akbayanrisa.wordpress.com&amp;blog=153042&amp;post=62&amp;subd=akbayanrisa&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Since there is no reason why we should listen to GMA&#8217;s SONA, we will again join the protest rallies outside the House of Representatives.

The government should stop dragging its feet to facilitate an immediate evacuation of our workers in Lebanon.

What it seeks to do is cleanse the Catholic body of anti-GMA bishops while it is still not endorsing the impeachment complaint and while it is still divided on what [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=akbayanrisa.wordpress.com&amp;blog=153042&amp;post=60&amp;subd=akbayanrisa&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
