The ZTE Broadband Deal
Wednesday
Sep 5, 2007
What’s the deal with the ZTE Broadband issue that the Philippine media is abuzz with, anyway? I have my very own ZTE Broadband thing:
And it’s sitting right on my desk – my ZTE DSL modem. It’s ZTE, and it’s for broadband, isn’t it?
Update
I’ve posted an update here, in case you’d like to read more about the ZTE NBN Project.

dapat ay tigilan na ng senado yang mga inbestigation na yan kasi ang lumalabas ay nagiging mga imbestigador na lang sila at hindi mga mambabatas. kung ganyan lang ang nangyayari sa senado mabuti pa buwagin na lahat ng mga ahensya ng pamahalaan na nag iimbestiga ng mga katiwalian at gawing Senate Investigation Agency (SIA) na lang ang senado. tutal naman yan ang gustong gusto nilang gawin ang magimbestiga.

Jun Lozada’s credibility?… Im not satisfied with Jun Lozada’s testimony therefore his credibility as a witness is still weak or in average level only.I think Mr. Neri has more knowledge in this issue.Y? until know there is no material evidence which is much important to find out a probable cause.Yes I believe that there are some corrupt officials involve in this issue and manipulated the govt. project.Lozada must bring the testimony in a proper forum and not just by visiting some public institutions(e.g.school).But still I’m glad with this person because of his braveness, but he should bring some documents and any relevant materials to the formal forum and show it to the public.

GMA said “may nakapag-sabi sakin na may milagrong nangyari sa kontrata…”… from the start she already knew about any anomaly, hearsay or whatsoever. She cancelled the contract after a long time after she signed. She ask her secretaries and other agencies to conduct investigation wherein it came to a point of large volume of people asking for the truth. Isn’t it that it is very illogical for her to put it under investigation after so long since she had an overview of the anomaly. Why just now? Why did she signed it? Or if she really needs to follow some protocols regarding this kind of matter why did she wait for a very long timw after she let some agency to investigate for her to know who spoil the contract? The CBCP is to scared to fight! How I wish Cardinal Sin is still alive for him to protect his people unlike … It is too sad to see that the YOUTH is fighting for the country without or just a few from the elders. If theres a Philippine Pride, Gloria Macapagal -Arroyo is the countries SHAME! GLORIA RESIGN!

why do student like me have to make a research about this. urgh!:]
btw.. back to the topic..
my friend tells me.. that.. maybe.. chinese would lost their faith here in our country.. and perhaps bka humina yung chinese industry here in the philippines. and in worst case scenario bka mag-pull out pa cla ng ibang chinese product.. so ang tendency ay hihina ang pasok ng dollars d2 sa philippines.. so ang result ay hihina at bababa ang economy ng philippines:]
XD>.
hope i can help:]

Mga pare… Ayos lang yang mga assignment and projects na yan kasi actually… meron din akong kailangang ipasa na reaction paper about sa zte scandal na yan and tomorrow ko na sya kailangang ipasa, sa totoon lang pinagbigyan lang ako ni sir hanggang bukas,,,hindi ko sya magawa kasi hindi ko naman alam kung paano nagstart ang lahat kaya hanggang ngayon… nagreresearch pa rin ako, Mga pare don’t give up saka huwag na lang po tayong umasa sa mga ideasor alam ng kung sino sino.,kasi mas maganda kung ikaw mismo ang babasa at aalam ng lahat ng details at mas maiintindihan mo talaga ng buong buo. Pero ang pinakamaganda na the best na basahin ay ang BIBLE… Know why??? kasi lahat ng gusto mong malaman ay nandun..lahat ng gusto mong malaman na talagang pinaka mahalaga sa lahat ng dapat mong malaman sa buong galaxy… Saka don’t worry mga pare.. Kasi andyan lang si LORD para tulungan tayo at hinding hindi nya tayo iiwan ni pababayaan…saka ang sarap mabuhay para kay, yung Joy,peace & love na madadama mo sobrang walang katulad at hinding hindi mo matatapuan kahit saan kundi kay LORD lang….Mga pare…Alam ko na hindi aksidente na nabasa mo tong message na ‘to.Para sa’yo ‘to na at galing kay LORD ito.May gustong ipaalam si GOD sa’yo kaya nababasa mo ‘to ngayon…sige mga pare,kayang kaya natin ‘to kasi……………. kasama natin si LORD…Tandaan mo!!! “MAHAL na MAHAL ka ni LORD…GOD BLESS you…
