THAT was a brainy literary gem you spewed out re: the cyberworld.
GMA and company have not really internalized the essential implications of the cyber age. Global Pinoys are much smarter than government thinks; smokescreens, stonewalls and old, tired PR jobs are no match to truth crisscrossing the blogs, IMs and e-mails. In the battle of ideas, the truth always wins and liberates in the end.
Notice the ever-increasing feedback from the OFW intelligentsia, thanks to the Internet? Once the Pinoys of the diaspora have tasted democracy/justice in their essential substance (if not form), no superficial antics can withstand morally progressive ideas homing back to the land of their birth.
It reminds me of T.S. Eliot — more expats are gazing back at the motherland and seeing its unique beauty for the first time. It’s a wonderful sight, though excruciating at times from my perspective, this slow moral maturing of Juan de la Cruz/John of the Cross inside and outside geographic boundaries.
Bravo to Joey DV for making the painful decision of taking the high moral ground! The baton has been passed on to his generation.
Thanks mucho.

Unbiased Korek Ka Jan.
And what does this anak ng trapo is doing actually? His company must not be one of the bidders in the first place because his father is the Speaker (?) and therefore his is banned from doing so. And Mr Abalos was right when he said that ang anak ni Ewok ang sunod ng sunod sa kanya. So, sino ngayon ang may kailangan? And why is the son of Ewok is following Abalos, not only once, but I think thrice dahil kailangan rin nya ng 200 thousand from Abalos? And take note drug addict sya noon. Who knows if he’s still hallucinating until now.

The stand taken by Joey De Venecia is a clear manifestation that his father is not really that much beholden to GMA and her cronies after all.
The least thing a father could tell his son is GO AHEAD SON, TAKE THE MONEY AND SHUT UP YOUR MOUTH, NO POINT IN ROCKING THE BOAT!
But it looks like JDV just did what a good father would do, support his son all the way. TEN MILLION DOLLARS IN BRIBE MONEY IS JUST TOO MUCH TO TURN DOWN! The only thing more valuable than this amount is A CLEAR CONSCIENCE that one did only the RIGHT THING!

unbiased,
Kung ang iyong pinupuna lamang ay ang pagsuporta ng ilan dito sa kilos ni Joey DV, ano naman ang iyong pananaw sa imbestigasyon kay Abalos et. al.? Dapat bang pigilan dahil kamo si Joey DV ay corrupt?

unbiased,
Bakit ititigil and imbestigasyon kung ayon sa iyo ay corrupt si Joey DV? Ang ibig mong sabihin itigil and pagimbestiga kay Abalos at mga matataas na opisyal maski may kalokohan silang ginawa dahil sa iyong paratang na corrupt si Joey DV? May mali yata sa iyong “logic”.

Bravo to Joey DV??? You actually cheer for this sour-graping loser???
Let’s be clear about this. He just squealed like a pig because he lost the project. Nagpapaloko na kayo if you believe he was saying all that to clear his conscience. Hindi sya santo no!
In the first place, hindi naman sya magsusumbong kung nanalo sya. Manininiwala ako if he did won the project and still squealed.
But hindi e. Nasaktan kasi ang ego and he would use everything, his influence, his dad and the media to get revenge.
Sobrang obvious.
Kung totoong illegal pala at kailangan ng mga under-the-table na bayaran, dapat hindi na sumali yung company nya sa bidding sa umpisa pa lang. Palibhasa kasi, malamang nagbayad din sya para manalo sa bidding…. Malaking pera siguro ang nawala at baka naman hindi na mabawi ngayon.
Lets stop this nonsense. Corrupt din yan si Joey DV. Pare-pareho lang sila.
