Whistleblowers - Used and Forgotten?

What ever happened to Sandra Cam - Boy Barredo - Jun Lozada as well as other whistleblowers? The public feasted on them when their issues were the hottest, and their words, in hearings, were sought.

In War-Torn Area, Teacher Lays Life for Kids

In the classrooms of Inug-Ug in Mindanao, the petty fights of students aren’t the usual. They bear with them, in their sometimes violent attitudes, the baggage of a war that their parents wage.

A teacher lays his life for these children—in the same place where people lay their lives in battle.

"Probe" meets Guiamelon Andie, who has consecrated himself to teaching the kids of Inug-Ug, despite conditions like not being paid for the last two years. All these, to ensure that minds aren’t as torn as the area ravaged by conflict.

Lesson Learned: Infanta Braces Itself for Typhoons

Twenty typhoons, possible flooding and landslides are expected by Pagasa to hit the Philippines this year.

Warning bells will ring and volunteers will come to the rescue. "Probe" revisits Infanta, and witnesses their preparations before disaster strikes.

Catch these stories on "Probe"’s episode on May 28, Wednesday, after Bandila on ABS-CBN.

Watch the replays on the ABS-CBN News Channel, Saturday 5:30 a.m. and Sunday 1:30 p.m.
