Aside from Gloria Arroyo, only three other persons were included in the graft charges filed by the Ombudsman with the Sandiganbayan last week in connection with the grossly overpriced NBN/ZTE deal.

They were Gloria Arroyo’s husband, Jose Miguel Arroyo, former chairman of the Commission on Elections Benjamin Abalos, and Leandro Mendoza, former secretary of the Department of Transportation and Communications.

During the Senate hearings on the controversial deal, there were several names mentioned who have allegedly participated in the attempt to con the Filipino people of P14.8 BILLION (peso equivalent of $329 million, the cost of the project at the exchange rate of P45 to US1).
