Press Statement
24 February 2008
 
GMA, doomed; Filipinos not tired of another people power
 
The Macapagal Arroyo regime, whose legitimacy remains in question after 6 years in power, is shaken with yet another anomalous project: the scuttled $329 million National Broadband Network contract with China’s ZTE Corporation. The now- scrapped NBN/ZTE deal was tainted with massive corruption being awarded to China’s telecom giant after a P200 million bribery scheme and the protection of the incredible $130 million commission demanded by former COMELEC chairman Benjamin Abalos, Jr. who was also a key player of the “Hello Garci” scandal that unveiled massive election fraud in 2004.
 
Shamelessly dipped in the culture of graft and corruption, GMA, with her cohorts, has doused herself from one anomalous project to another; from the grossly overpriced Diosdado Macapagal Highway to the Fertilizer Fund Scam, she has never even “moderated” her greed, that of her husband and her entire collective cabal in the palace. So greedy is GMA, that even former NEDA Secretary Romulo Neri called her “evil” though Neri did not remember christening GMA with that name. So “evil” is GMA also, to the point of sanctioning the slaughter of her critics like political activists, journalists, lawyers, and church people   under her counter- insurgency operation plan Bantay Laya I and II that openly targets personalities of legitimate organizations. The victims of political killings already soared to 890.    
 
GMA could not even mount a moro- moro investigation to project a seemingly anti- corruption image, as her crew of deceptors, are instead, busy in finding ways at destroying the credibility of Jun Lozada, who is undoubtedly, more credible compared to Chavit Singson who testified against Erap that eventually resulted to the latter’s downfall.
 
But no matter how many times GMA pushes her “mob” of manipulators to terrorize those who dare to expose the stinks of this administration, the truth can never be shelved. And this truth shall be the driving force to compel the people to take to the streets again. No, the people are not tired of doing even the seemingly impossible, to change the nation. Alternative is never the problem for surely, there is an alternative to GMA in this country of 85 million people.
