The economy, according to Congress
|
|
FILIPINOS can heave a collective sigh of relief now that the Senate
inquiry into the ZTE broadband contract has lost steam after the
alleged broker of the transaction has resigned. The Commission on
Elections (Comelec) chairman’s decision to step down four months
ahead of his retirement spares the country from another costly
political distraction.
Given the tone of the inquiry into the ZTE deal,
the investigation is turning into another venue to divide public
opinion and derail economic growth along with it.

LETTER
Justice Ong is busy at work
As counsel for Justice Gregory
Ong, let me say that it is not true that he is clinging to his
position. He has heeded the order of the Supreme Court to clarify
issues on his citizenship. He has gone to the Regional Trial Court
of San Juan, Branch 264, in Pasig, where his brother, Walter,
handles his case.
