Look who’s talking…

On Friday, Jose De Venecia III, the first to blow the whistle on ZTE-NBN deal, spoke before students at the Assumption College of Davao.  De Venecia visited several school and attended forums on the scandal. He also called for the resignation of President Arroyo.

But many are still asking, what if he got the right price or he was able to join the ‘greedy group?” Will he still blow the whistle?

Another thing is, what about the overpriced $500 million NorthRail  Project of his father, former speaker Jose de Venecia? Last week, I heard former senator Franklin Drilon saying that it costs about P850 million per kilometer. The rail project is 32 kilometers from Markina to Caloocan.

Some also say that Joey should keep on the bells ringing for the tainted NBN-ZTE deal to divert the public’s attention from the NorthRail Project. But anyway, it’s nothing compared to the several corruption issues surging in Arroyo government.

    mao jud bai. duda ko sa iya and the newly converted JDV. If they will be able to get to scrutinize the North Rail Project, I’m sure there will be a can of worms. Also, the son has been enjoying undue advantage by getting government projects nga dili unta pwede kay iya papa naa man sa government.

    hipocrito jud ning mga tao karon.
