The ZTE-NBN Deal: What now?

New evidence again? They are simply recycling the issue because they cannot find anything that will put down the government, again and again.

They are always on the go finding for controversy or recycling issues every now and then. I don't think the people behind this would want to put a closure on the issues. After all, the only thing they wanted is to put down the image of the president, nothing more, and nothing less.

The president is the one putting down her image.Shes the Erap and Marcos made into one.

Wa ka malipong? Recycled gud tawon. Read.

Never mentioned it before

Suplico sought to counter Malacañang's statements on Wednesday that Ms Arroyo's golf game and subsequent lunch with ZTE officials were neither secret nor irregular.

"For one-and-a-half years since Nov. 2, 2006, she never disclosed she went to the ZTE headquarters," the lawmaker said, adding:

"In her interview with Joe Taruc of dzRH, she said she learned about the flaws of the contract only on the eve of [its] signing. That time, she never mentioned she went to ZTE five months earlier, and now her officials are saying the trip was not secret?"

Suplico said the Palace's confirmation of Ms Arroyo's visit to the ZTE headquarters was a virtual admission of the charges that she and her husband were involved in the NBN-ZTE deal.

He noted the statement by the lawyer of ex-Commission on Elections Chair Benjamin Abalos that the latter had arranged the golf and lunch meeting:

"This is an admission of the allegations. In court, when there is an admission, there will be no trial anymore. But we know we cannot sue the President unless she is impeached or removed from office."

Suplico said Ms Arroyo had "engaged in condemnable acts" because she went out of her way to meet with suppliers who later bagged the NBN contract.

He said the President violated her oath of office because she lied to the people, the AntiGraft and Corrupt Practices Act when she gave undue preference to ZTE, and the rules on bidding because no bidding was held for the NBN contract.

Kung bugok ug kurakot ka nga Presidente (lalisonon pa na kung President ba gyud), angay kang i down uy kay wa kay hinungdan! Ga gasto gasto lang ka ug kwarta sa katawhan imo rang gibinuangan.

What's funny is that these new developments "conveniently" came up when the legislators are about to examine Meralco's unscrupulous business practices.

Also, I do not see the point in beating up a dead horse. The senators have pretty much done their "check and balance" function as the deal has been cut off, which resulted to no taxpayer's money spent. They have enough munition and information to create laws to prevent this type of transaction to happen again (in aid of legislation, as they fondly call it).

What is disheartening is seeing these senators very active on this case and yet when the rice crisis and meralco issues sprung up, you can barely hear/see them...
