Govt to critics: Accept High Court ruling
The Supreme Court on Monday
junked three petitions questioning the validity of the controversial
$330-million National Broadband Network (NBN) project that the
Philippine government had awarded to China’s ZTE Corp.

As a result, nothing could be done to streamline the maritime
industry of our country. And there would be no end to such scandals
as Sulpicio Lines’ happy escape from liability and accountability,
despite its record of disasters and deaths.
