IN MY own opinion, our lawmakers should focus more on
putting up laws governing the Internet.
We are so focused on improving our Internet infrastructure, but the laws governing it are not very established. Our economy may benefit from the broadband expansion, for it will create more businesses and jobs in the outsourcing sector, but consequently easy access to the Internet would mean the proliferation of porn, Internet-related crimes, fraud, pedophilia, and other unimaginable damage [to which[ our children and loved ones [would be exposed].

Did you forget that the Philippines or should I say, the Filipinos, is one of the TEN most corrupt countries/people in the planet? Kickback - means ” a payment made to someone who has facilitated a transaction or appointment”. Commission - means ” a sum paid to an agent in a commercial transaction”.
The NBN deal must be investigated in the court not in the Senate.
Next please…

that is nothing new in the Philippines. A long time ago, I was planning to open a business in the Philippines. The first thing the asked me is half a millions plus 15% a month. They must be out of their mind. I take my business somewhere else. And just send the money to my family. Actually that business suppose to be for my relatives, I change my mind after they’re asking me for bribe money. If you want to do business in the Philippines you give bribe money. If not you won’t have a chance doing business. Corrupt talaga!

100% Abalos were involve in the deal.
FG will surely get a piece of cake
PGMA Why still approve since a heads up given by Neri? puzzle..
JDV III seems lost his share….
Ermita still trust Neri but not Arroyo…a very good designer for helping corruptors in the Govt to Get away.
PGMA hostage by her cabinet…..specially to Ermita and the boys !!!.

Maliwanag na hindi nag iisip ang mga politicians at govt officials sa pag approved ng NBN projects. Meron mang kick back or wala ay nakasalalay ang national security ng Pinas kung hahayaan natin taga LABAS ang mag provide ng technology para sa mga sensitibong INFORMATION data ng ating gobyerno. Scrap the deal and don’t let CHINA be able to spy on us.

Hindi ba si Joey, V. Ng bid on this project. Why not the gov’t. Give the business to pinoy co. Instead of given the business to other country like china. For what I can see, The reason they’re doing that because of bribe money. For what I understand each contract the gov’t. Get 15% plus! Thats alot of money. This is one of the reason why the Philippines will never prosper. Boboo ang mga nasa puwesto.

kung sigurado ang gobyerno na para sa ikabubuti ng bansa ang mga projects na ginagawa nila, e pag-usapan nila ng mabuti ang mga dapat gawin at wag pairalin ang kapangyarihan at pera nila…wag na ninyong dagdagan ang problema ng bansa!
