The following document landed in my mailbox. It’s supposed to have been written by a certain Dante Madriaga. Read on for what it’s worth:

I am an electronic/electrical engineer by profession.I attended the University of the Philippines and Texas A&M University.I have been in the communications industry for over 30 years.

I was a part owner of a company in the LISP in Cabuyao, Laguna that exported microwave radio transmitters.I was involved in the original design of the ARESCOM proposal using a concept similar to what Joey De Venecia thought about .I have been involved in the preparation and design of the NBN ZTE proposal since the beginning.

Malacañang has Romy Neri by the balls and that’s why the former economic planning secretary is so afraid to face the Senate where he could be compelled to reveal the role of Gloria Arroyo in the scandalously overpriced telecommunications deal with China’s Zhong Xing Telecommunication Equipment Company Ltd. (ZTE).

A source said before Neri appeared in the Senate, Malacañang emissaries told him that he could talk about the deal up to the level of former Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos, but he could not implicate Gloria Arroyo and her husband Mike. If he did, details about his “Brokeback Mountain” affair would find their way to media.

The source said the main character in Malacañang’s “Brokeback Mountain” blackmail on Neri is named “Tom.” Some have started talking about a government official’s “La Loma” lover, referring to a district in Manila notorious for its gay bars.
