TODAY’S headline story (”Neri was ready to talk about ZTE“) is proof that the PDI is downgrading itself from a broadsheet newspaper to a typical tabloid.
It did not [give] any news but gossip, hypotheses, hearsay, and political intrigues. PDI should be aware that its audience is not that dumb. We have too much of Tiktik, Taliba, and Abante. Please start relaying real news. Leave the tsismis to the Buzz and Startalk.

Arroyo the Joker seems to be fuming because his actuations in the executive session with Neri and some senators were revealed by a PDI reporter Juliet Javellana. A funny point is that the Joker denied that his actions prevented Neri from spilling the beans (”complete falsehood” he said) while on the same breath he wants the reporter investigated for the breach in the supposed secrecy of the executive session.
Indeed a great joke from the Joker. He says it’s all “falsehood” but at the same time he says there is a breach. Therefore one can conclude that there is indeed truth in the matter as he wants an investigation of the breach of secrecy otherwise he would simply have dismissed it since according to him it’s all a “complete falsehood” anyway. Given this situation, if there is truth in the matter therefore the one who is actually telling falsehood or lies is Arroyo the Joker himself!
Tsk, tsk it is unfortunate that the Joker has become a minion for cover-ups along with the other individual who not only is a partner in attempting cover-ups in the Senate but is also a bigot as well. Well what can we do, in every court there must be a jester or Joker, and the Arroyos being in power should inevitably have an Arroyo the Joker as well. How very apt indeed.
Many members of the PDI are doing a good job showing the true colors of these few chameleons in Senate who wants every investigation that may include the possible involvement of their beloved leader be blocked when the total truth is about anomalies are about to be revealed.
Keep the banner flying PDI !
Kaya sabi na nga nila … aray, aray, aray, mabibisto na … ideklara ang E.O. 464 at pagalawin ang mga galamay sa Senado.

I’ve been reading PDI ever since I was in high school and I liked the way they brought the news and interest stories that no other newspapers ever did.
However I think the way the Neri case was handled by PDI appeared to be more of profit-driven - for it to win more readers. You just contributed to making the case more complicated and harder to resolve. If truth was really your intention then this was not the way to get it. Journalists do have to protect their sources but you’re doing it now at the expense of breaking another legal body’s rules. Did the writer ever think of that?

Keep up the good work PDI, the pressure brought by your articles are cracking the corrupt politicians who are hiding via the manipulation of the letter law by protecting themselves using a thin plastic facade of “legality”.
Uma-aray na sila, keep on the pressure PDI !
