RP-MILF peace talks
|

strife-torn municipalities. The Supreme Court earlier stalled a
Memorandum of Agreement on the Moro-claimed ancestral domain. Malacañang
called on the secessionists to disarm and disband to allow the
reintegration of former rebels.

crisis
|
|
Some people keep asking me what to do in these times of financial
turmoil when interest rates are rising, credit is tightening,
confidence is falling, growth is slowing down, the world’s largest
and richest economy is about to collapse, and the overall outlook
seems cloudy at best.
