The opposition bloc in the House of Representatives will support the impeachment of President Arroyo if her allies succeed in unseating Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., Minority Leader Ronaldo Zamora said Friday.

“We will not initiate an impeachment. But if Speaker De Venecia is ousted and his group starts an impeachment process, the minority will most likely support it,” Zamora said in a radio interview.

A budget for every destab rumor

From ABS-CBN Online:

Maria Flor “Pong” Querubin, wife of detained Marine Col. Ariel Querubin, said the announcement by AFP Chief Hermogenes Esperon about a fresh coup plot against the administration is just another “desk intelligence report.”

“Gawa-gawa lang nila iyan. (That’s a fabrication) Every intelligence report has a corresponding intelligence operation. If there are intelligence operations there is a corresponding budget,” Querubin said in an interview with Anthony Taberna in ABS-CBN’s morning show, “Umaga, kay Ganda”.

Querubin’s husband is currently detained in a military detention facility in Camp Capinpin in Tanay, Rizal. Her husband is being accused of leading the failed coup plot against Mrs. Arroyo in February 2006.

In his explosive testimony at the Senate last Tuesday, Jose de Venecia III related the meeting at the Wack-Wack Golf Clubhouse last March where, in the presence of Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos, DOTC secretary Leandro Mendoza, Ruben Reyes, Jimmy Paz, and retired Police General Quirino de la Torre, Mike Arroyo, husband of Gloria Arroyo told him to “back off” from the big-ticket National Broadband project.

The government acted with undue haste in awarding the $329 million national broadband contract to ZTE Corp. by signing a supply agreement with a Chinese company without first entering into an executive agreement with the Chinese government.

This was the observation of senators yesterday after members of the Cabinet appeared before a Senate inquiry to justify the alleged overpriced project.

Sen. Panfilo Lacson said since there was no executive agreement yet, the contract for the national broadband project should have been subjected to public bidding.

AB ZTE FG

Published by Ellen on September 19, 2007

Ang pinaka-hit ngayon na kanta ay ang AB ZTE FG na kinakanta sa tono ng ADCDEFG na ating kinakanta nang tayo ay mga bata pa.

Una ko natanggap ang text nito noong Martes katatapos lang pinasabog ni Joey de Venecia, presidente ng Amsterdam Holdings Inc at anak ni House Speaker Jose de Venecia, ang impormasyon na si Mike Arroyo, asawa ni Gloria Arroyo ang “mystery man” na kasama sa meeting nila ni Comelec Chair Benjamin Abalos sa Wack-Wack Golf clubhouse noong Marso.

Si Mike Arroyo, sabi ni Joey ang dumuro sa kanya at nagsabi na “back off” o umatras ka na pa” para matuloy na ang pagbigay ng kontrata ng National Broadband sa ZTE Corp, isang kumpanya na pag-aari ng pamahalaan ng China na nagkakahalaga ng P16 bilyon.

Ang unang text ay “GMA’s alphabet song: AB ZTE FG”.

Mike Arroyo’s business in Europe

While Jose de Venecia III, son of House Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., was telling the Senate and the Filipino nation that one day last March, in a function room in the Wack-Wack Golf clubhouse, that Mike Arroyo pointed a finger at him and ordered him to “back off” from the National Broadband project, Gloria Arroyo’s husband was enroute to Venice, Italy.

Accompanied by his cousin, Benito “Bomboy” Araneta, Mike Arroyo left Manila Monday afternoon for Hong Kong.
In Venice, a source said Mike Arroyo will be met by a very close female friend whom we identified earlier in this space as “E”, who is a Filipina carrying Swiss citizenship.

‘Mike Arroyo is NBN deal mystery man’

Jose de Venecia III yesterday said Miguel “Mike” Arroyo tried to bully him into backing out from the controversial national broadband network project in favor of Zhong Xing Telecommunications Equipment Corp. (ZTE), the Chinese company allegedly sponsored by Elections chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr.

“It is with a heavy heart that I cannot deny that it was First Gentleman Mike Arroyo at the reconciliatory meeting,” De Venecia said at the first hearing by the Senate blue ribbon into the allegedly overpriced $329 million contract.

De Venecia, son of Speaker Jose de Venecia, earlier said there was a “powerful” man who joined Abalos in asking him to drop the bid of his company, Amsterdam Holdings Inc., during a meeting at Wack Wack Golf Club also attended by Transport Secretary Leandro Mendoza.
