Gloria Arroyo has sold Philippine sovereignty to China

The Chinese government won’t give billions US dollars loan to the Philippines without string attached from it. China-Philippine Agreements encourages Chinese utilization of our lands and marine resources, promotes unfair competition and increases our foreign debts. China will develop about 500,000 hectares of land for agribusiness development under a memorandum of agreement with China signed January 2007. The deal will cover 8.8 million hectares of idle alienable and disposable lands and forest lands. The $329 M NBN-ZTE broadband scam, anomalous North and South Rail projects could be a part of Arroyo’s secret deal with China.
Philippine national sovereignty is at stake. RP-China Agreements should be ratified by the Senate as required by law. No treaty or international agreement shall be valid and effective unless concurred in by at least two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate. Gloria Arroyo keeps the Senate in the dark with her secret deals with China. Treason is an impeachable offense under the 1987 Philippine Constitution. The Arroyo regime is dragging the Senate investigation on China's ZTE Corp. broadband scam.

Treason in dirty Chinese loans?
Malaya publisher Amado Macasaet said he was told by a source that under the "Spratly Deal," China would be allowed to explore territorial waters of the Philippines.
"This is treason because the pact has the effect of giving away Philippine sovereignty to a foreign country. In return, Chinese-owned firms provide the Philippines with overpriced loans for numerous projects," he said.
