Will it ever end?
The Senate investigation on the ZTE broadband
deal seems to be turning out into fun fair rather than a major
deliberation. First, they were slammed by the Supreme Court’s
ruling in favor of CHED Secretary Neri’s petition on executive
privilege and now there was a no show of supposed key witnesses
that would have supposedly corroborated the statements of star
witness Jun Lozada.
Our senators should realize by now that their
probe is heading nowhere because the people are seeing the real
intentions behind the investigations’ facade. Further dwelling
into the NBN hearing would only sidetrack other issues that need
attention such as the RP baseline bill as well as the national
budget. I appeal to our honorable senators to focus on these
important issues first and stop wasting people’s money on the
senseless ZTE hearings.

This is for Dan Mariano and about his March 31,
2008, opinion piece entitled “System of rice intensification”
I am writing to you from Root Capital, a
nonprofit social investment fund based in the United States that
provides credit and financial education to grassroots businesses in
Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Our objective is to promote
economic and social development in an environmentally-responsible
way.
We are looking to invest in SRI rice in the
Philippines and would greatly appreciate it if you could put us in
touch with Robert Verzola and any producer groups that are currently
growing SRI rice.
Thank you very much for your help. Together,
hopefully we can make SRI adoption a reality!

I admire your courage in standing up for our
president. Wow! Inspite of the fact that she’s being “chased
from pillar to post” by complainers and disgruntled elements,
she continues to stand tall in the eyes of the public. As they say
here, it is not how tall or short you are, but what you have above
your shoulders. We Pinoys in the US, expats, are tired of and fed up
too with all the negative news we get from the “drive by media”
(Rush Limbaugh’s words), but I think Secretary Ermita is right
that behind all of these demonstrations is jealousy of GMA’s
success in the eco-nomic, political, and social fields. Your listing of
GMA’s positive attributes is refreshing and inspiring. You are
one of the few columnists I greatly admire. Mabuhay GMA!
