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].

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 !!!.

Bakit kaya kung kailan may kontrata na at saka nagkakaroon ng imbestigasyon? Para di masayang ang efforts at oras ay makakabuti na gumawa ng paraan ang gobyerno, kongreso at senado ng sistema na sila ay may listahan ng identified major projects at sila ay updated sa status simula pa lang sa conceptualization hanggang sa matapos ang proyekto. Sa report ay nakadetalye ang mga importanteng impormasyon hinggil sa proyeko kasama ang feasibility study, paano ang financing, paraan ng pagkuha ng contractor o supplier, at iba pang mahahalagang bagay. Sila ay dapat magkaroon ng ugnayan kung may mga isyu na may kwestyon ang kongreso o senado. Ito ay makakatulong para magkaroon ng transparency. Ang media ay makakatulong rin ng malaki kung ang mga ito ay malalathala sa mga pahayagan, tv, radio at sa internet upang magkaroon ng sapat na kaalaman ang mga mamamayan at magkaroon ng malayang talakayan.

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…

To know the extent of corruption in ZTE deal, an ordinary knowledgeable citizen can canvass or ask from other companies all over the world how much they would invest on similar account/specs of the NBN.
Any amount offer less than $ 329 Million by other companies, one could surmise that the difference is corruption money.
This eradicates unnecessary complications and an ordinary Filipino citizen with expertise on purchase contract canvassing may do this.
In this way, this would clear the smoke-screen of the corrupt who want to weasel their way out of this controversy.
