UN Prober Raps Military, Gov’t for Killings
• 11 soldiers face raps over killing of 4 in Davao

• Tales of Atrocities Confront UN Prober in Davao
In a press statement distributed at a Manila press conference on Wednesday, Philip Alston, the special rapporteur of the United Nations Human Rights Council on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, outlined his findings during his 10-day investigation in the Philippines. Among his conclusions: evidence suggests that the military is behind most of the killings, the military is in a state of denial, an intensified counter-insurgency campaign (presumably Oplan Bantay Laya) is partly to blame for the increase in the atrocities, the Melo Commission and Task Force Usig are inadequate, and the military’s line that the killings are the result of purges within the communist movement “bears all the hallmarks of a fabrication and cannot be taken as evidence of anything other than disinformation.”

BEWARE OF THIS MIRA, CONCERNGURL and ARNEL PO, mga pakawala sila ng mga companies na ka competition ng kanilang inirereklamo. I did my own investigation. The seminar they are saying that is bogus. apparently first time magpaseminar ng group na ito, so paano mo masasabing bogus. I called up the hotel and they said its legitimate, they have made a booking. Also, I have personally visited their office. Meron silang DTI, SEC, permit, at lahat ng kailangan nila. Pinoy tlaga. CRAB mentality.
Mag ingat ang mga taga Davao sa mga MT schools sa Davao na merong school pero wala namang affiliate sa US na company. at wala ding trabaho. Madami bagong tayo sa Davao niyan. mga gusto mag aral. Check niyo kung ung school may partner na US company or client bago kayo mag enrol. Check niyo din kung member sila ng AAMT American Association of Medical Transcription. Kung hindi, wag kayo pumasok dun. Meron ako mga kakilala na naka ilang batch na ng students pero ung mga students under qualified and walang work. Wala din facility for OJT. Ung iba hindi din TESDA accredited. a
