Interesting news from Manila Times:

3 people are killed every day in Metro

Four persons die violently every day in Calabarzon, while three meet the same fate in Metro Manila.

According to the Philippine National Police (PNP), the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon, which make up Calabarzon, recorded 1,352 killings in 2004 and 1,290 in 2005. From January to June this year, 641 cases of homicide and murder have been recorded.

Not reassuring at all even if some of the cases can be mistagged (Murder instead of Homicide?) according to the news report. Anyway, if this is an upward Trend, the police definitely has to do something.
