I saw template parser guide page, http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/parser.html. But there is nothing about conditional structures.

Perhaps there is nothing in the user guide about conditional structures because it should not be there.
As far as I understand MVC then the template is similar to a view. If so then the purpose of a view is to display data. The data is processed (maybe wih a little help from a model) and the data output is then sent to the view.

Conditional statements definitely belong in the view (i.e. template). They are view logic, not business logic.
Wrap your section of html code with a pseudo-variable such as:
{blog_entries}
html bla bla bla
{/blog_entries}
If you do not want the above to display then create your data array with an empty array element called $data['blog_entries'] = array();
This will remove the entry since there are no elements in the array.
Good luck with your project.

Use a more robust template system, like Smarty
