WE commend Mr. Jun Lozada for his courage in coming out with what he knew about the anomalous ZTE NBN transactions.
Abalos’ continued insistence of his innocence is a pathetic display of arrogance and lack of integrity among our politicians and public officials. The dots can now be connected with regards to the Hello, Garci controversy! Mr. Abalos clearly had a hand in rigging the 2004 elections in favor of Gloria Arroyo and he was collecting his due from the First Family through the $130M “commission” from the NBN [national broadband network] deal!
Garci and Esperon were the henchmen in the widespread manipulation in Mindanao while Abalos was the one controlling the entire operation to rig the results and hand the victory to GMA on a silver platter! It really sucks from the very start, entrusting the Comelec to Abalos was like hiring a thief to guard a bank! And the biggest thief among them is still squatting in Malacañang! Disgusting!

i really find boses, the public service program tv show on nbn 4 very pathetic. I’m just wondering if thats really their conviction or it’s just because their being paid for their jobs as anchors. Don’t be one sided naman…invite naman somebody on the other side of the fence di lang puro on your side…there’s no question that Lozada has his faults too, but the good thing about it is he is admitting it, and the fact that others have anomalies too doesn’t erase the truth that the administration has committed a mistake that they need to face and answer. Let us here their defense on the issue, let those people answer so all will be cleared, if they are really honest then why scared to face the people, instead of letting rosebud talk about lacson’s ano bayon, or sino bayong bagong head nang philforest talking about lozada’s anomalies, talk about that later, but first let the administration, the president, fg, neri, abalos and the rest face us and answer. After that you can run after lozada all you want!!!!!!! Dont hide beneath the issue by inflating another. Dios ko naman you should here yourselves on tv, grabe talaga.

allan’s quotes are very relevant to today’s issues, if you will just try to understand them and relate it to the problems facing the nation, then we might have a grasp of what’s happening. one does not have to be in our midst to be relevant…like rizal, bonifacio, jacinto, ninoy’s writings..
re lozada….the moment i learned that he met w/ ping 6 times before he testified, i know that he is tainted witness. why meet w/ an opposition senator known to produce too many witnesses to serve his interests? why not meet w/ pangilinan instead who is an independent? not aligned w/ gma nor w/ opposition…
the govt. men fell into the senator’s sting, it was a clever trap..(read herrera’s column in mla. standard)
2nd…his truth is selective, he is not telling the whole truth but only the ones w/c will suit his handler’s scenario, that is to pin down the first couple at all cost, parang contrived, also madriaga’s…
3rd…i was a govt. employee before, receiving almost the same salary like lozada, but, i wonder why i was not able to play golf and buy shares like him? it is because, i did not have the permissible zones of corruption that he committed…imagine saying $65M is a permissible bukol? and i cannot send my kids to la salle w/ that kind of salary! where does he get that kind of money to be able to afford that lifestyle? hmmm.
better ask joey de venecia, and the you tube transcript, if that is authentic…
i also was not able to afford an suv like him w/ that salary…
4th…it is obvious lozada is part of the gang, he is the “technocrat” who moderates everyone’s greed. nabulilyaso lang nung loan from china ang nanalo instead of joey’s bot. if bot won, walang jun lozada as “hero”. and joey will not testify in the senate. even though, he is guilty as hell of graft since he should not enter into any govt contract as he is the son of the speaker…
ok, we have learned from the testimony that the zte contract is really obnoxious, and i’m thankful it was rescinded…
but, let us not be used by some senators for their own selfish interests. let us be analytical, prudent in our take on this…
if we want gma out, then, let us be ready for a noli takeover. as one blogger said, life is about taking risks, and accepting noli is one…
(i did not vote for noli, but he is the constitutional successor)

alvin ano ba ang paniniwala mo…. santo ba para sayo ang gobyernong arroyo na hindi marunong marurakot…. nasaan na yung computerize machine natin na binili ni abalos….. napakinabangan ba ng familya mo yun…. na absuelto pa si abalos ng ombusman…..

Hindi si Abalos ang bumili ng computerise voting system kungdi si Comelec Commissioner Tatchangco (tuta ni erap) noong panahon ni Erap na overpriced and under quality kaya binasura ng Supreme Court ang kontrata.
