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? Continue Reading »

What if Ms Arroyo indeed entered into an agreement that allowed the Chinese government to the exploit the natural resources in  Spratly Islands? Will she be impeached? Aside from the NBN-ZTE scandal that she is facing, here comes a bigger issue that the Filipinos should know.

It seems that there is a never ending story of controversies in this administration. While there is an ongoing investigation on ZTE scandal , here comes another one. Now the question is, what’ll be the next one?

Nothing happened to the following: Hello Garci, Fertilizer Scam, NorthRail Project, among others.  Check the alleged scandals here involving the First Family. Also, another list of alleged corruption issues in Arroyo administration.

The Office of the Ombudsman today will conduct its initial public hearing on the ZTE broadband deal scandal. Aside from former Comelec chair Banjamin Abalos, First Gentleman Mike Arroyo was also invited to the hearing. These two guys are believed to be behind the controversy.

But it seems that Mr Arroyo is making another lame excuse as his lawyer made a last minute announcement that his client could not make it to the hearing today due to health reasons.

What an alibi again? If he’s really ‘ill,’ why he can make some foreign trips? Which, I think,  more stressful than sitting in an air conditioned room and tell a lie?

Another alibi, is the denial of the PNP that the security camera that was setup in front of La Salle, Greenhills is not a surveillance camera. So why in the world that the camera was just setup when Senate star witness Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada and his family has temporarily sought refuge from the religious group.

Police said it was installed to monitor traffic. Well, thanks to Lozada, traffic is now being monitored in the vicinity after he moved in La Salle.

Whatever happens, the Philippine National Police will keep on denying that they did not abduct ZTE broadband deal star witness Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada Jr. Otherwise, it’ll just fuel the people’s  outrage against this shaky government.

Then, how do you describe that incident? Isn’t it ? Ah, maybe they will just call it ‘ for safekeeping.’ The same thing that also happened during the Manila Pen siege when the police arrested journalists. They called it for ‘processing.’

So, what next after Lozada’s expose? Could we expect another Edsa? I bet the Palace is now formulating solutions to rebut Lozada’s statements. And if what are these solutions, we’ll have to wait for it. I’m sure it isn’t just purely statements, it would come with a force.

The GMA is facing another storm and she should deal with it. Like in many other controversies, his husband Mike Arroyo is involved.  The expose of Rodolfo Noel Lozada is another slap in the face — not just on GMA, but as well as on the President’s men particularly resigned Comelec chair Benjamin Abalos.

Lozada’s revelation yesterday was really earth-shaking when he disclosed the initial details on what really went wrong with the controversial ZTE Broadband deal.

For sure, this would trigger another public outcry and would renew the calls on GMA’s resignation. Actually, some senators have already called the resignation of GMA. Worst comes to worst, GMA has already built her shield — the extension of her ever loyal AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Hermogenes Esperon.

Both of them are trapo. Both of them are puppets of GMA. Both of them are power-hungry. Both of them were involved in various controversies. Both of them want charter change. So, how do they differ?

Personally, I’m no fan of ousted speaker  Jose De Venecia or newly installed Speaker Prospero Nograles. But for the sake of those who don’t really know who’s Nogie, you can check some useful links here.

Be the judge.

Fifty eight percent of Filipinos in Mindanao believed that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo cheated in the 2004 presidential elections, a survey conducted by Pulse Asia in Mindanao in December last year showed. The same survey released to media Friday showed that 70 percent of those polled believed that because of recurring allegations of election fraud, the credibility of the balloting process in Mindanao was at a record low.
