Pia on Sec. Neri: Blind loyalty should not be confused
with 'honesty' in public service

"With all due respect to Secretary Romulo Neri, I don't think he is exactly in the best position to preach on the virtue of honesty, nor to discourage upright men and women against joining government service. One should not confuse blind loyalty to one's superior with 'honesty' to one's public office."

"By withholding important information in his testimony on the botched ZTE-NBN deal, he denied the public from knowing the entire truth, which in itself is a disservice to his oath as a government official."
