THERE has to be at least one of them telling the truth. While JDV III claims that Neri told him about his conversation with the President regarding the so-called offer of Chairman Abalos in order to have the NBN project approved, Neri counters with a completely opposite stance, saying that what JDV III claims is completely untrue. So now, it is left to us: who is telling the truth?
Better yet, what is the truth? This question seems to always escape the minds of many whistleblowers as well as witnesses, left and right. It is like a neverending cycle of a thesis and an antithesis. Whistle blowers tend to claim that they are the ones telling the truth. Does that mean that those people who are supposedly guilty of the accusation are kings and queens of denial?
One can see how easy it is to just say what you want to say and when you want to say it. In any case, the only way for the Senate to make its hearings of the NBN scandal worth one’s time and effort is if the people who are involved in the procedings (i.e. witnesses, whistleblowers, interrogators) truly have one thing in mind: to tell the truth by first stating what is really the truth!

The president pardon Joseph Estrada. To all the Filipinos working in the goverment, dont be afraid to engage in corruption, the president will pardon you anyway. I’m working here in foreign country for a high salary job. My contract will end this december, I will go back to my previous work in DPWH and will engage in corruption, I will not be afraid to do corruption, for I know the president will pardon me.

The only way to find out who’s telling the truth is, To get all relevant document’s so that the truth will come out,…But Arroyo administration are blocking it. Why? meanly because they’re guilty with all the corruption that is rocking her stolen administration. If she don’t have anything to hide she should never stop the prove but as we all can see it. She’s blocking it. Meaning she’s hiding something. Meaning she’s guilty as hell. With all the corruption that has been going on in her stolen administration. All I can say is, She didn’t kick Erap for nothing!

The Supreme Court nullified the ZTENBN contract.
The president GMA ZTENBN cancelled the contract.
The Senate investigation produced nothing.
As to who is telling the truth?
Both are in pari delicto. Both are in mutual guilt.
Remember that our elected officials term of office is fixed and investigation is producing no valuable results.
Term of Office will expire for our officials with wasted time and money due to endless accusation and investigation.
And with the nerve to complain that our country is lagging behind our neighbors.
Whose fault?

You know what the truth is? Neri is running scared! Poor guy, he does not know what to do anymore. At last account, he was in Hong Kong. Maybe Hong Kong Department Store in Tacloban. Ha ha ha ha ha ha
