Senators are taking with caution the testimony last Tuesday of ZTE technical consultant Dante Madriaga that President Arroyo and her husband Mike received “advances” from China’s ZTE Corp for the national broadband project.
Senate President Manuel Villar said they are double checking Madriaga’s testimony amid fears that he could be a “red herring.”
Sen. Panfilo Lacson said Madriaga’s statements would have to be corroborated by other evidence and testimonies.
Dahil sa hindi nanawagan ang mga obispo sa pag-resign ni Gloria Arroyo, lalong titindi na ang pagpatalsik sa kanya dahil alam na ng taumbayan na wala silang maa-asahan kungdi sarili nila.
Dahil sa mabait sa kanya ang mga obispo, siguradong lalakas ang loob ni Arroyo na kumapit sa kanyang ninakaw na pwesto at lalong magiging mayabang ang kanyang mga tauhan. Siyempre may kakampi silang CBCP (Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines) kahit sabihin pang hati sila.
Hindi na ngayon maiwasan ang dahas sa pagpatalsik kay Arroyo. At iyon ay dahat dalhin ng kunsyensya ng mga obispo.
I had to leave the Senate investigation on the NBN/ZTE early for other meetings so I missed the testimony of Dante Madriaga who designed the telecommunication project for ZTE. Madriaga belonged to the “Filipino Consultants Group” headed by former Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos and allegedly included Mike Arroyo,the husband of Gloria Arroyo.
My friends told me that Madriaga mentioned me in relation to reports that he was peddling his testimony for a price ranging from P5 million to P10 million.
At the time I got the copy of the initial draft of his affidavit, I had not met Madriaga but I had counterchecked the information contained there. When I learned that someone was trying to sell the Madriaga affidavit, I decided to publish it precisely to stop them from making money out of it.

Influential Philippine Roman Catholic bishops slammed endemic government corruption Tuesday but stopped short of urging President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to resign.
The statement by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, issued after a 10-hour emergency meeting, was a small victory for Mrs Arroyo’s efforts to serve out the last two years of her term amid widespread calls for her to step down.
Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan has this to say about Gloria Arroyo’s belated admission that indeed there were irregularities in the NBN/ZTE deal:
Glaring contraditions cast serious doubts on the credibility and truthfulness pf PGMA’s admission.
Malacañang said no hard evidence of irregularities then. Now, PGMA says irregularities pushed her to cancel the contract. So, what’s the truth?
Akala talaga ni Gloria Arroyo, tanga tayo.
Inamin niya noong Sabado sa kanyang interview sa DZRH na alam raw niyang may iregularidad ang $349 million NBN/ZTE deal na kanyang sinaksihan ang pirmahan sa Boao, China noong April 21, 2007 ngunit itinuloy raw niya dahil foreign government ang kasama sa deal.
Ngunit sabi niya, kinansela naman nya ang kontrata kalaunan.
Akala ni Arroyo, papatawarin siya ang sambayanang Pilipino dahil inamin niyang may irgularidad naman talaga ang kontrata na ilang buwan ring sinasabi ng mga opisyal niya na maayos at malinis. Akala niya katulad ni Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada na lalong hinangaan siya ng sinabi niya na marami siyang nagawa na nakakawala ng respeto sa sarili ngunit gusto na niya ngayon bumawi at –isalbahin ang kanyang kaluluwa.

Lahat na nakaka-usap ko na nakikiramdam sa nangyayari ngayon sa sitwasyon pampulitika sa bansa ay nagsasabi na magbantay at maghanda ng husto sa susunod na linggo. “Mula February 25 hanggang March 31,” sabi ng isang source.
Padami-dami na ang mga sector na lumalantad at nagpapahayag ng kanilang galit sa ginagawa ni Gloria Arroyo at ng kanyang mga alipores na pagyurak ng demokrasya sa Pilipinas. Ang mga dating walang paki-alam katulad ng mga negosyante sa Makati, mga pare at madre at mga kabataan ay sumasali na.
Ako ay pagod na pagod na sa kaka-martsa para sa katotohanan at hustisya na niyurakan ni Gloria Arroyo at may mga panahon na sabi ko tanggap ko na pinapabayaan na ng Panginoon ang Pilipinas. Para bang hinahayaan na tayong malugmok sa katiwalian sa kung anong rason na hindi ko ma-intindihan.
