Legarda, a journalist herself, said the media killings entail swift police action and investigation more than just legislation.

Killings of journalists have been going on for so long and it has not been stopped, this is not because of the absence of legislation but rather the laxity of law enforcement, said Legarda.

The "No-El" proponents have valid reasons why we shouldn't have any elections as a transition to a new system of government, but whether we like it or not, a basic of any democracy is the holding of elections for elective officials. Any extension of their powers is simply asking too much. [DatePublished] => 2006-01-27 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 135522 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1805274 [AuthorName] => Bobit S.
