Like many citizens of this distressed republic, law-yer Ernesto B. Francisco Jr. who follows the ongoing Senate investigation on multi-billion national broadband network and its seemingly anomalous awarding to the Chinese government-owned firm, ZTE Corporation, is very concerned that certain big personalities and high government officials who have been prominently mentioned as having played a major role in the deal might be spared from investigation especially with the recent announcement of Gloria Arroyo that the project would suspended.
Since he knows the law better than most of us, Francisco last Monday filed a request with the Ombudsman to investigate Comelec chairman Benjamin Abalos and Gloria Arroyo’s husband, Mike Arroyo.
