Published by Ellen on September 24, 2007

Marami na ang nangyari mula nang isinumite ko itong kolumn hanggang ngayon. Unang-una, nagpasiya na si Neri na hindi na siya sasama kay Gloria Arroyo sa New York. Ang abangan natin ay, ikuwento ba niya ang buong katotohanan sa Miyerkoles?

Kinumpira ni Romy Neri, dating director ng National Economic Development Authority o NEDA na ngayon ay chair ng Commission on Higher Education, na sinasama siya ni Gloria Arroyo sa kanyang biyahe sa Amerika ngayong araw.

Sabi ni Neri, pinag-iisipan pa raw niya.

Gloria Arroyo’s complicity

Published by Ellen on September 23, 2007

The past days, Malacañang has been on overdrive trying to prevent the stink of the ZTE national broadband deal from reaching Gloria Arroyo.

Philippine Star columnist Jarius Bondoc believes that Malacañang’s suspension, not cancellation, of the controversial ZTE NBN contract, was a “calculated move to dissuade former NEDA director Romulo Neri from testifying when the Senate Blue Ribbon committee resumes its investigation on Wednesday.

Reports have it that Neri told Gloria Arroyo about the P200 million bribe attempt by Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos.

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.
