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].

mag subscribe na lang ang government sa mga wireless broadband providers…..
baka mas tipid pa…….
walang infrastructure that would need maintenance……
walang expats to pay…..

Mike Arroyo, mandarayang Abalos, Mendoza and the likes of Nani Perez and Joc Joc Bolante and Garci should be hang in public, kapag nakawala pa itong mga ito, talagang palubog na ang bansa ni Juan Dela Cruz, palubog sa pusali.
is it possible that Commelec Chairman and Supreme court chief Justice should also be an elected official, so that we would not again have the kind of Abalos as Comelec Chairman?

ZTE CONTRACT? i was watching the televised senate hearing with de venecia’s son being question by our smart? senators,estrada,cayetano and etc?? they are confused when to order a subpoena or just invite mr. arroyo to the senate hearing. Estrada asked the other senators if they can issue a subpoena or invite mr arroyo. Senators please DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST BEFORE CONDUCTING A SENATE HEARING BECAUSE YOU DON ‘T EVEN KNOW YOUR OWN SENATE POLICIES AND RULES.SAAADDDD..WE PAID THESE SENATORS TO DO THEIR JOB BUT A SIMPLE RULE .THEY NEVER KNOW WHAT TO DECIDE.GO BACK TO SCHOOL???

The divulged level of corruption in the NBN deal with ZTE as described in the Senate made me want to puke. One can imagine the first level of corruption which involves Abalos, then the surprise (or should it be unsurprising) involvement of Mike Arroyo. In addition now we know why Abalos is so accommodating to the fraud done by administration allies in the recently concluded election which again shows a deeper darker level of complicity.
Once more these same Trapos and exploitative guys within or near the administration wanted to defraud us in this One and a Half TRILLION deal and many MORE Trillions on the docket on the upcoming E-education program. Then there is this INSISTENT moves of Gloria to conclude the deal despite past questions of anomalies even BEFORE de Venecia’s son surfaced.
These disgustingly corrupt men and women currently in power attempted to BEAT the corruption record made by Ferdinand Marcos! Appalling, thick-faced, insulting, heartless and harsh… I’m a loss for words to reflect the level of disgust I now feel for them!
Mike Arroyo, remember that you were given a new lease in life and that life is an extended LOAN from our Supreme Creator that you may be given a chance to mend your ways. And now you go back to wallow in your own mire and once more take part in making each and every Filipino both living and YET to be born to be more destitute because of it?
What next? Hire propagandists and spin doctors to turn the story around? Disgusting … absolutely disgusting!
