GMA's SUSPENSION OF NBN DEAL
A COWARD'S HYPOCRITICAL ACT

GMA's suspension order with regard to the NBN deal shows how desperate she is to cover up her tracks. This is a hypocrite's way of dealing with things and is an indication of how weak her leadership truly is. This move is a mere palliative and is typical of how she has dealt with scandals and political crises in the past. This is a mere propaganda technique to make the people think that she is addressing the situation, but in reality this is a delaying tactic to make the people forget the issue at hand so that she can consummate the deal at a later time. This "urong-sulong" tactic will not deter the Senate from continuing with its ongoing investigation. The acts of corruption have been consummated with its dirty trail leading to the top. Those responsible should be punished.

To show her seriousness in addressing the matter, I challenge Mrs. Arroyo to ask for the immediate and irrevocable resignation of COMELEC Chairman Benjamin Abalos and to dismiss DOTC Secretary Leandro Mendoza and Asst. Secretary Lorenzo Formoso. Only then can she redeem herself in the eyes of the Filipino people.
