The rat

neri2.jpgTo say that Romy Neri was a disappointment last Wednesday at the Senate hearing is an understatement.

Here’s a guy, blessed with intelligence and good education and what did he do? He allowed himself to be used to hide the truth from the Filipino people that pays him in order to protect a corrupt, fake president.

Never mind Abalos, who is in the same league as Lintang Bedol and Virgilio Garcillano. This NBN ZTE scam is just another item in the lengthening list of crimes they have committed against the Filipino people starting with declaring winner a president who did not win in the 2004 elections.

But we thought Neri had enough decency left in him to tell the truth, nothing but the truth, as he pledged at the Senate. We even prayed for him.

Oh well, we take it as God’s way of telling us we were wrong about Neri.

I’m reproducing here an article by Manuel Buencamino posted in the Uniffors blog, an online forum by an underground group of foreign service staff. Buencamino, an Atenean like Neri, is unsparing. He captures vividly our feelings for what Neri did:

I was at the Senate hearing all day, from 8 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. I went there to see Romy Neri confirm that Abalos did offer him a bribe. He did. But that’s as far as he would go.

The little shit hid behind executive privilege all day, refusing to reveal any more than that he reported the bribe offer to Gloria.

I must admit I was too distracted, enjoying too immensely, the skewering of Abalos I did not catch on to Neri immediately. It was Ping Lacson who finally exposed Neri.

Lacson realized that Neri was not going to budge from his executive privelege position so he offered Neri a way out. If he couldn’t talk because of executive privilege then maybe Bondoc could do it for him, considering that he was a source of many of Bondoc’s information.

So Lacson asked Jarius Bondoc how many times he talked to Neri and if he was willing to reveal what they talked about.

Jarius replied, ‘yes but I have to ask Neri’s permission first.” Lacson then asked Neri if he would permit Jarius to reveal the contents of their conversations.

Neri replied, ‘I will not grant permission.’

That’s it, I told myself. Neri was sent to rat on Abalos. He didn’t go to the Senate to tell the truth. He went there to throw Abalos to the wolves.

Joey de Venecia is an old and dear friend. We talked when he took a short break from the hearing. He told me, “Romy just lost all his credibility.” I added, “And whatever respect I had for him.”

Joey mentioned that Romy was getting texts from Malacanan all day. And, as soon as Gloria’s plane in New York, she started texting.

He’s been receiving texts from the little micromanager,” Joey told me. (Romy was seated beside Bondoc who was seated beside Joey.)

Earlier in the day, there was a general call to go to Neri’s house in Sta. Mesa Heights to protect him from threats to his life.

Linggoy Alcuaz, who was at the Senate hearing, left early to organize the vigil. Leah Navarro told me she was going to the vigil and asked me if I was going. This was a few hours before Neri showed his true colors.

Leah and I were also texting each other even though we were both at the Senate because we were seated in different areas. She had text me the details of the vigil and asked me to pass it on. Linggoy also texted me, adding he acquired eight tents.

After Neri blew it, I texted Leah. “Cancel the fucking vigil. Let the little rat fend for himself.” Leah replied immediately, “Cancelled.” and gave me the thumbs up sign. I texted Linggoy, “Kalimutan mo na yan vigil. Bahala na yan putanginang yan sa buhay niya.”

I always thought that Abalos was the most despicable character in the ZTE saga. I was wrong. Neri the RAT is.

The worst character in any criminal enterprise is the gang member who rats, the one who acts as the pawn to protect the capo de tuti capo by sacrificing another loyal consigliori.

I thought Neri was an eagle. He is a rat with wings.

One of Neri’s high school classmates, who was at the hearing to lend moral support to Neri and had left as soon as Neri refused to allow Bondoc to speak, texted me from his car: “Puta, kung lalake ang in-offer ni Abalos kay Neri malamang kumagat pa.”

  1. He does look like a rat with the ears and the puckered kisser. Rats are intelligent animals but are not very brave.

    Definitely, the right animal description for this particular Gloria skirt hopping rat.

    (Those two are the worst rats…)

  2. vic vic

    Maybe he did really get that offer with or without the NBN deal. Who knows, even with the whole senate or any investigation, even with the subject under oath, the Truth is still a stranger in paradise or hell, whichever, can no longer tell…

  3. Chabeli Chabeli

    God was in the Senate showing the Nation that Neri was a devil in disguise. Deception, after all, is a characteristic of Evil.

    The Devil says “it’s executive privilege, your Honor “.

  4. TurningPoint TurningPoint

    These are not my words on Neri, just transferred it here from the above thread:

    “Kalimutan mo na yan vigil. Bahala na yan putanginang yan sa buhay niya.”

    “Cancel the fucking vigil. Let the little rat fend for himself.”

    “Puta, kung lalake ang in-offer ni Abalos kay Neri malamang kumagat pa.”

  5. TP,

    Tama, dapat may nakipagyugyug muna kay Neri before he went to the Senate hearing – at least satiated na ang kanyang gutom, who know he might have been one satisfied rat and would have ratted very well.

  6. pechanco pechanco

    Now alam mo na kung ano ang “yugyug”. Awesome. Ang galing mo. Anong yugyug kay Neri? Bayag-yag puwede pa.

  7. ocayvalle ocayvalle

    sobrang galit ko talaga dito kay neri.panay ang pasalamat ko at pag darasal at dumating na rin yata ang taong maka pag totoo sa mga kasalan ng mag asawang pidal..nang lumaon, na dismaya ako at itong gagong taong eto, ay isa rin palang huwad at maituturing na payaso o tagapag patawa ng enchanted kingdom ng pamilaya pidal..forgive me fellow bloggers, he is not a rat!!! siya po ay isang bu-rat!!
    tignan p0 ninyong mabuti ang larawan niya,burat na burat ang itsura niya!!

  8. G-STRING YUGYUG!

  9. chi chi

    “fellow bloggers, he is not a rat!!! siya po ay isang bu-rat!!
    tignan p0 ninyong mabuti ang larawan niya,burat na burat ang itsura niya!!”

    Ha!ha!ha!…

    Ocayvalle,

    Hindi pala siya bureauc-RAT, kundi bu-rat! Galing mo, pre!

    So, kung tatanungin natin si Neri kung ano ang kanyang ginagawa habang pinag-aaralan ang kontrata ng ZTE, ang kanyang malamang na sagot ay “nagbubu-RAT’! Kaya pala pinirmahan din niya ang ZTE, iba ng pinangpirma. heheheh! (sori Ellen. sinimulan kasi ni Ocayvalle e).

  10. pechanco pechanco

    Yugyugan na ! Ocayvalle, calm down please. Before Neri appeared at the Senate, most of us didn’t believe he would tell the whole truth. I myself knew it would be another BS. But some reminded us to give him the doubt of the benefit. After giving him the benefit, we still have doubt (correct ba ang mga sinasabi ko?). Nawawala na ako sa inis. Well, now that he’s confirmed to be a mabahong “rat” na pakendeng-kendeng lumakad, sige tirahin na natin ng husto ang gaga. Neri, you’re full of shit !

  11. Wait, wait, what is “nagbubu-RAT’! ????

  12. What is BU-RAT?

  13. Alam ko BARAT!

  14. pechanco pechanco

    Burat is different from Barat. Barat is “kuripot” while Burat is that little thing connected to the rat’s lower abdomen.

  15. TurningPoint TurningPoint

    Ipinahahanda na ni Mother Lily ang script para sa isang telenobela to cash on the continuing saga of National Broadband Network-ZTE scandal. Ang isang episode ay hango sa tunay na buhay ng isang character nito, si Romulo Neri, dating Director General ng NEDA na itinapon sa CHED. Mahilig talaga sa ngalang babae ang gusto nitong opisina, NEDA at CHED, pansin nyo? Ang suggested title ng episode: NABUKING, BADING si NERI (NBN).

  16. Burat, in the lower abdomen? Meaning the rat’s penis? Nasa abdomen ba yan?

    Pechanco,

    Bahala ka na mag-explain kay Anna. Hahahaha!

    Chi, nahirapan akong mag-explain sa kanya. But she got it…the rat’s penis. Neri’s burat is as big as the rat’s.

    The characters here in this thread, Ben and Neri, have their counterpart in a movie and a television series.

    We know that Ben is actually a rat in movie in 1972. In fact, the song Ben was popularized by Michael Jackson which is ka-federacion ni Neri. In this case, sabihin nating the rat is more attributed to Benjamin Abalos.

    But what is interesting is that there was also a television series which revolves around the character of Neri. And what a very sheer coincidence. Neri is an alien girl from the Planet of the Oceans. Girl talaga.

    Pero ito ang mas masakit para kay Kumareng Neri.

    Pagsalitaan na si Neri ng kung ano-ano at pwedeng ibitin pa ng patiwarik, baka hindi pa ito mayanig. Pero itong naka headline sa Abante, grabe na ito: NERI, PIPITPITIN PA.

  21. chi chi

    TP,

    Sige pitpitin na nila. Siguruhin lang na ang pipitpit na mga senadores ay nakahanda at ng hindi naman sila nakakahiya sa performance! Disappointing senators except for a very few!

    Hindi lang yugyugan, pitpitan pa! Kapag hidi pa bumigay si Neri niyan e ewan ko na lang!

    May bu-rat ba si El Capon Neri? Okay may borucha siya o borucha-rat. Borucha-rat, borucha-rat, borucha-rat-rat-rat, boom boom!.

  23. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    teka, teka, teka! nahuli na naman ako. ano ika niyo ang pipitpitin? ang puwet ng manok o ang bu-rat? eh pano naman nila makikita ang bu-rat ng isang rat eh napakaliit nun at nakalubog sa ilalim, tama ka pechanco. hehehehe

  24. What a learning blog, this is proving to be!

    Pipitpitin? Is that the same as Bibitbitin?

  25. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    Ana, pipitpitin means to crush (dudurugin o pupulbusin), as in pipitpitin ng martilyo ang bayag ni Neri (kung meron). Bitbitin means carry, as in carry a basket full of penises or balls. Get it?

  26. Ok, thanks. Didn’t know that. I know dikdikin for to crush garlic for instance which is Neri’s smell and odour today following his yugyug dance wearing the e.p. skirt in the Senate yesterday.

  27. pechanco pechanco

    Ano naman ang pukpukin o pokpokin (from the word “pokpok)? of course everyone knows what sipsipin means. What about hukhutin? Sounds like hugutin. Ano ba naman iyan puro TIN ng TIN at nakakabitin tuloy.

    Tama, ibahin na natin ang usapan, kasi kapag nagising na si Ma’m Ellen, baka ma-delete pa yong mga poste ending in tin. Pero bago yon, i-repeat ko lang yong nasa thread mismo, hindi galing sa atin yon, kay Manuel Buencamino patungkol kay Mareng Neri:

    “Bahala na yan putanginang yan sa buhay niya.”

  31. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    TP, yeah. Sana sa susunod na hearing ng senado ay pigain nila sa Neri na ikanta na ang punot-dulo ng lahat para matapos na itong mga garapalang ito. Pwede ba yung “executive privilege” sa kurakutan? Hindi naman ang security o sovereignty ang nakasalang sa testimonya ni Neri. Dapat gawin na nila at huwag na magtanong pa sa SC kung puwede yun. Binibigyan lang nila ng espasyo ang Malacanan niyan para igiit ang maling patakaran nila.

  34. The ZTE corporation is going wild:

    “ZTE also asked the SC to compel Suplico to post a bond in an amount to be fixed by the Court but no less than $2,939,600, corresponding to the total amount that it has already spent for work done for the NBN project.”

    I do agree they can do that but they are going overboard. Shows lots of money have changed hands.

    The former law office of Angara is in on it no doubt – the advice must have come from Angara. If this is proven, Angara must be roasted.

  35. luzviminda luzviminda

    The senators should also learn how to ask the right question and how to ask them, to be able to extract meaningful answers from the resource person being grilled. No more silly line of questioning. Something like a ‘yes or no’ type of thing. Even if the person invoke ‘executive privilege’ on a particular question, then the people would know more or less what would be the answer. The senators should be fully prepared because those Gloria-men were already rehearsed of what they will say in the investigation. Kailangan ang ‘utakan’!

  36. chi chi

    Si Ate Nerissa ay hindi makatulog lalo at pipitpitin daw siya ng Senado. May kahirapan na makakuha ng bagong impormasyon kung pipitpitin lang, pero siguro kung babanlian ‘yan ng kumukulong tubig ay biglang sisigaw.

    The senators never learned any lesson. There should be bananas ready for their guests at hearings. Nagsick call tuloy si Neri. Who knows, with bananas he would have opened his mouth.

  40. luzviminda luzviminda

    From The Daily Tribune- Quoting Chief Presidential Legal Adviser Sergio Apostol:
    “This is a conversation between a Cabinet member and the President. There is no need to cite any basis, and he (Neri) cannot be compelled to disclose this. If they (senators) force this, then Secretary Neri or the Senate can bring the matter before the Supreme Court,”

    So, does Mr. Apostol means that executive privilege can be used even if the conversation between the President and her Cabinet member is about illegal actions like bribery, kickbacks? Is that a national security threat? Pwede ba sobra na ang bastusan na ito sa ating batas. SOBRA NA! TAMA NA! IBAGSAK NA!

  41. Bu-rat! Hahahahaha! Pero, Chi, Ocay, wala namang yagbols iyan, tuldok lang! A, oo nga pala, hindi naman pala yagbols ang binubu-rat! Ay bastos! 😛

  48. luzviminda luzviminda

    Lumalabas na parang walang silbi ang NEDA kung concept lang ng mga projects ang kanilang aapruban at ipapasa din lang sa line agencies ang paraan ng project implemetation. Maski sino pwedeng magsabi na maganda ang concept ng isang proyekto(lalo na kung pagkakaperahan!). Lumalabas na pirma lang ng NEDA ang kailangan at ayos na ang buto-buto. Parang rubberstamp! Maybe NERI has become irresponsible concerning this project. Pag binaligtad siya ng taga-Malakanyang lalabas siya ang nagkamali at nagkulang sa pagbusisi! Mapalusot lang si Gloria and FG. Kawawang mga fallguys!

  49. luzviminda luzviminda

    TongueT,

    OO nga pala may mas malala pa palang conversation si Gloria, yung kidnapping o ‘soft touch’ dun sa Tipo-Tipo. Conversations among the syndicates is executive privilege!!! What is happening to our beloved Philippines, being run by crooks!

  50. Me, I never ever thought Neri-regla would be different from Gloria Dorobo, et al. Kaya even before the Wednesday hearing, puro batikos na ako diyan even when I was trying my best to go with the others in giving him a chance to prove his worth. Kaya nga very appealing sa akin iyong picture niyang parang puwet ng manok ang bibig niya kasi alam kong iiputan lang niya ang mga senador at taumbayang dapat na sinisilbihan niya.

    Kunyari may lagnat siya. Matuluyan na sana siya! Amen!

  51. someone said, Neda is a rubber stamp, and this is true. It is also a policy making agency, in that sense, they should be on top of the projects submitted to them by line agencies.

    agree that NEDA in that case or under Gloria is useless.

    ZTE deal shows that all the agencies covered by the NEDA umbrealla are utterly useless, they make their decisions according to the moods of Gloria.

  52. O para naman sumaya kayo. Just sharing:

    Subject: Photos/Text: BAYAN-USA leads picket vs GMA in New York City, Sept. 26, 2007

    BAYAN USA staged a protest action outside of GMA’s Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Manhattan to denounce her failed human rights record, call attention to the plight of the trafficked Sentosa 27++ nurses, and denounce business scams such as the ZTE-NBN scandal, Sept. 26, 2007

    Newspaper reports states: The ZTE seeks lifting of the Supreme Court’s TRO on NBN project. And also asks the court to make Rep Suplico to pay a bond not less than $2.939 million.

    Mukhang may bayaran (BRIBE) na ngang nangyari at gigil ang ZTE na ma-lift ang TRO!

  55. luzviminda luzviminda

    we can deduce a ‘YES’ answer dun sa mga tanong kay Neri na nag-invoke siya ng executive privilege concerning Gloria’s pressure on approving the ZTE contract.

  56. Itong si unano, ang hilig talagang magpa-class, pero kahit anong gawin niya, bakya ang dating. Sabi nga ng kaibigan kong kano, narinig daw niyang mag-speech si unano, hindi daw siya impressed. Sabi niya, “What did she learn in school in America? How come her English has not improved?” Sabi ko na lang, “Bobo kasi!” Ang pangit kasi ng diction. Buti pa nga ang ingles ni Erap e. Maganda! Hindi nakakahiya nang interview-hin siya ng BBC!

  57. Tanginang korte ang meron sa Pilipinas. Iyong kasong isinasampa ni Suplico ay kriminal, bakit iyan pinababayaran ng korte ng pagkalaki-laking filing fee? Dapat diyan mag-utos ng thorough investigation ng kasong ito at pati mga intsik mapapahiya!

    At saka bakit hindi iyan pinapadaan sa lower court bago isampa sa SC na supposedly at dulungang panghuli kung hindi maganda ang hatol sa mababa at mataas na korte? Ano ba iyan?

    Ang linaw naman ng mga proseso, bakit nalilito yata ang mga gunggong sa Pilipinas? Sa kaswapangan at kurakot, nalito na!

    Allow me to cite my brief eulogy to Neri in case he become another casualty.

    Mind you about Neri’s Lips, it was swollen because he buried his head in the toilet in shame. But, he is a reasonable man though to his Master, “ You see,Mama Presidenti, Me,I never Snitch”.His strongest qualities why he’s the favorite are his lack of intelligence and industriousness, He knows only how to fill the coffer of his master. He is neither brilliant nor notably talented, but he is somewhat above average in intelligence compared to his master; his mind seems suffering from chemical imbalance and under the medication of “Prozac” unalert, unorderly, and illogical. His speeches and arguments, if dully phrased and often disingenuous and misunderstood having a short tongue, if he don’t want to talk, he invoke, he learned it from his uncle a Chinese,”No Talk, No Mistakes, Long Talk, Long Mistakes” He has roughly the same order of mental incompetence. He has always been fiercely ambitious. As a student in high school, he was a “Geek” and a teacher’s pet. On his prom night he could not get a date. He failed his biology class because he’s afraid to dissect the frog. He never attended his ROTC drill and he never knew the meaning of “Attention” He’s out of tune in music having a thick lips. These accomplishments are no different from those of other students he hanged-out,they played Barbie doll under the tree on recess, but they are nonetheless praiseworthy and, in Neri’s case, particularly important because hard work tenacity, and single minded ambition are still his outstanding positive character in keeping a secret with 200 pieces.

    What is wrong with Neri is his cowardness, untrained weak stomach drinking San Miguel Beer, the absence of his aggressively masculine, the paucity of his talents, the very ordinariness of the half-man, half woman.

    His emptiness and these glaring deficiencies are more significant than the intermittent squalor of his methods or whether he is gay, lesbian or bisexual, he’s still a virgin though. Every Filipinos now has become his enemies and is the object of controversy on the ZTE. He uses practical means that may sometimes be impugned. Neri is probably the most hated ugliest Filipino today, but this would not matter as long as he had substantial achievements to cover the crime of his master, there has been widespread awareness that he might, at any moment, become hired killers casualties through an act of fate. Neri has been the man on the hour. He has blocked off potential competitors on the avenues to the throne by his presence and his manipulations. That’s the “Hall of Shame”–Good Bye,Neri,May the Devil posses your soul!

    But says truth, not friendship, is the issue.

    She said she was hurting for her stepson, whom she has to look after, because “he is telling the truth.”

    She said that before the young De Venecia III revealed Abalos’ alleged $10-million bribe offer for him to withdraw his company’s unsolicited proposal to undertake the NBN project, her son talked to her about what he would do.

    “I told him his testimony would affect the family, how we could be threatened and be subjected to all kinds of black propaganda and that they might even remove his father as Speaker,” she said.

    De Venecia III, however, told her: “My father raised me to always tell the truth.”

    “And that’s exactly what he did,” Gina said.

    “What he said was what really happened. Walang dagdag, walang bawas [No more, no less].”

Ewan ko pa kung bakit pinatulan ni Sharon. Maganda daw ang ngisi ni Kiko. But as they say, what you lack in one part can be made up by other ways. Anong “way”, itanong niyo na lang kay Kiko.

  76. I just can’t help feeling amused at the photo of Neri-regla in a tsup pose. Galing talaga ng photographer ng Tribune. Sino kaya ang nginungusuan ng alanganing ito? Alanganing Hitler at Cacuphoy! 😛

  77. pechanco pechanco

    What did you mean in a tsup pose? He, he…dapat hindi sa public siya mag-tsup pose. It should be done right in the privacy of his room.

    Pechanco, di ba magkatabi sila ni abaloslos nung time na yun? Malay natin, baka mgakaharap silang dalawa ng makunan ng pic, hehehehe!

  79. Bishop Cruz on the ZTE deal:

    “There are leading figures in the administration with their parallel partners that are only too eager to make money – very much money – to fund extravagant contracts, to support their greed for power while filling their pockets at the same time,”

    “There is already a long litany of corrupt and corrupting ventures that the executive department has undertaken. In fact, they are not only too many to mention but also very nauseating to remember. The ZTE fiasco is but one of them.”

    What a nice picture,kulang na lang ilagay sa harap niya ang wetpu ng mag-asawang Arroyo para lalong maging maganda.o kaya ay ilagay sa background ang buteteng tiyan ni FG di lalong naging maganda. Sayang ka NERI.NERIgaluhan kana ng Panginoong Diyos ng karunungan pero hindi mo pa rin ginagamit para sa kapakanan ng bayan at para sa iyong kredibilidad.Kasi nga takot ka sa mga amo mo o ba naman NERIgaluhan ka rin nila ng ilang mga pangako para sila ay hindi masabit sa kaso.Magpa-kalalaki ka sana at sabihin mong lahat kahit sino ang masagasaan.

  81. OK lang, Tongue. Dapat bigyan ng Pulitzer Award iyong photographer ng Tribune diyan. Taragis walang kaparis. Tamang-tama ang lens ng pagtutok sa mukha nitong Puwet ng Manok! You bet, hindi bomba ang lumabas, iput lang!!!

  82. masha masha

    neri missed the chance to be a hero…but maybe he really had no capacity to be.

    seems like he is either too caught up in himself and too attached to the glory of being in power or he is party to the corruption and therefore risk being exposed himself.

    either way, he is immoral. dapat sa kanya ad majorem neri gloriam.

    ‘The ZTE fiasco is but one of them.”

    Sa mga nababasa ko, hindi lang ZTE-NBN deal ang mabaho. Nabasa ko sa sinulat ni Maceda nuong isang araw na namatay iyong chief ng northrail project na si Cortez. Sabi niya na may apat na babae (kabit) ng namatay ang nag-aagawan sa kanyang more than 500 million dollars bank account. Pero sinabi ni Maceda na may powerful person na nagaangkin daw nuong pera at sinasabing sa kanya raw talaga iyon. Sino pa, eh di alam nating lahat kung sino? Namatay daw si Cortez a day after sinabon ni Glueria. Iyong $500 million, kung tama, ay mahigit pa dito NBN deal, sobra na talaga!

  84. This deal is nothing but another BOT, meaning utang na babayaran ng mga pilipino. Tapos ang lalaki ng mga commission ng mga hayop! Kaya kami dito sa Japan, talagang inaabatan namin ang mga wrong move ni unano. Ang mahirap nito, lahat ngayon sa Manila niluluto lahat, but for some reason, nakakaamuyong kami. Iyan dapat ang ginagawa ng mga pilipino everywhere, bantayan ng husto ang mga shady deals ng mga hayop na Pidal!

    “The little shit hid behind executive privilege all day, refusing to reveal any more than that he reported the bribe offer to Gloria.”

    sa totoong kahulugan, ang executive privilege na ‘yan ay ‘yung UMAALINGASAW na SAYA ni gloria na kinatutuwaang pagtaguan ng kanyang mga alagang dagang estero upang hindi mahabol ng mga pusa. at, isa na sa mga dagang ito ay itong si neri.

  86. From Ed Umali:

    With the entry of Teves affirming the Abalos bribe offer to Neri, means that the GMA regime will make Abalos the scapegoat of the dirty NBN deal.

    Talagang ilalag na si Abalos at siya lang ang palalabasin na involved at corrupt!Ang lusot ni GMA, she will agree to let Abalos go on early retirement and suspend the impeachment process in the House. Scheming talaga!!!

  87. That Teves is another Rat.

    Hindi mo talaga makikilala ang isang tao kahit na anong pinag-aralan at dunong hanggat wala sa gipit na sitwasyon o ginigipit. Diyan lumalabas ang tunay na katangian…ang ‘never minds’ at ang ‘heroes’!

    Puro Rat sila.

    From GMANews:
    “Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita shrugs off as pure politics suggestions that the President had a direct hand in the award of the NBN project to ZTE, adding that the deal passed through review processes. “’Di naman name-mressure ang Pangulo. Kung na-mressure siya, bakit ngayon pinasuspinde niya?'”
    ———-

    Eh loko pala ito si Ermita eh, kaya pinapasuspinde na ni Gloria ang kontrata dahil nabuko na may anomalya at may bribery na nangyari. Bago pa pina-review sa NEDA ay may utos na si Gloria na palusutin ang ZTE deal maski maraming paglabag sa Procurement Law dahil malaki ang kickbacks. Maraming nagparte-parte sa bribe. Hindi pwedeng walang parte si Ermita, lahat ng documento ay dadaan muna sa kanya. Ilang milyon dolyares naman kaya ang kanya?

  91. chi chi

    Luz,

    “Hindi pwedeng walang parte si Ermita, lahat ng documento ay dadaan muna sa kanya. Ilang milyon dolyares naman kaya ang kanya?”

    Boldyak mo ang totoo. Kaya grabe ang pananakot niya kay Neri ay pati pangalang niya ay tiyak na sabit dito.

    Naglalabasan ngayon na takot daw si Neri na magkaroon ng people power na yuyugyog sa ekonomy kaya pigil siyang idawit si Gloria, wala rin daw papalit sa Impakta. Katangahan ‘yan!
    Iyan talaga ang linya ng mga takot!

    In the first place, anong gandang economy and isasakripisyo e gawa-gawa din nila ang ‘ganda’ raw!

    Ikalawa, Neri is not the judge of who should replace Gloria in case na magkagulo! The people will put one themselves.

    Para sa akin, ang tanging puntos ay mawala si Gloria, ngayon na!

  92. pechanco pechanco

    “Behind closed doors, Romulo Neri was “on the verge” of telling senators the rest of his explosive story on the supposed lobbying and bribery in the $329-million telecommunications deal with China’s ZTE Corp. when an administration senator and a Cabinet member intervened, several Inquirer sources said Saturday.

    The former secretary general of the National Economic and Development Authority reportedly told a friend before the executive (or closed-door) session that followed the Wednesday hearing at the Senate that what he knew could “possibly” lead to the “downfall” of his boss, President Macapagal-Arroyo.”

    The administration senator was Joker Arroyo and the Cabinet member was Sec. Andaya.

  93. chi chi

    In short, talagang duwag si Neri!

  94. pechanco pechanco

    At alam mo na kung ano ang kinakakatakutan niya? He might lose his job daw.

  95. chi chi

    Sabi doon sa isang balita ay baka daw ibulgar ng Malacanang kung sino si Jun Lozada sa kanyang buhay. E balita na sa buong sulok ng Pinas, ibubulgar pa.

    Napalampas na ang isang oportunidad na magpabagsak si Impakta dahil nilalagnat sa takot ang witness!

  96. pechanco pechanco

    Hindi ko kilala iyang Jun Lozada na iyan. Ang kilala ko lang si Ike Lozada na pumanao na. Ang mga bading may pusong babae. Maawain sila. Naaawa si Aling Neri na baka daw mawala sa puwesto si Mareng Gloria niya. That’s the truth and nothing but the truth why he doesn’t want to tell all he knows.

  97. luzviminda luzviminda

    Chi,

    Kaya naman laging nakabantay si Ermita eh, para diskartehan kung sakaling isasabit si Gloria. Siyempre ligtasan sila sa isa’t isa dahil pare-parehong nakikinabang. Si ‘half-half’ Neri naman naduduwag kumanta dahil sa impluwensiya ng mga business sector. Baka kasi ang pumalit kay pekeng presidente ay hindi mahawakan sa leeg ng mga naghaharing negosyante.

  98. The rat’s face in the picture is the male version of Gloria.

  99. Mrivera Mrivera

    kaya nga todo sipsip si ermita-e kay gloria dahil sobra sobra ang kaparte niya sa bawat kurakot ng mag-asawa!

    ‘tangnang gago ‘yan!

    nakakahiya!

    tumatanda’y nawawalan ng buto!

  100. Wow, the rat is blaming the media for possible rift between the GLORC and him! Ang saya niya. Napapaghalataan talagang binabae!!! Ulol!
