Oust-GMA is call in Makati rally

BY ASHZEL HACHERO
AN interfaith prayer rally scheduled this afternoon in Makati City is expected to gather at least 50,000 participants, including former President Joseph Estrada and Bro. Eddie Villanueva, head of the Jesus is Lord Movement.
Estrada, after a "Mass for Truth" yesterday at the University of Makati, said he supports the call of fellow former President Corazon Aquino for the resignation of President Arroyo.

The rally, with the theme "Katotohanan, Katarungan at Pagbabago" and organized by the Church-based group Solidarity Philippines, will be attended by militant, student, opposition and other sectoral groups that have been calling for Arroyo's ouster on the ground she has lost the moral authority to govern.
Rally participants are advised to bring their rain gear as the weather bureau said Metro Manila will have cloudy skies and possible rains.
The three-hour prayer rally at the Ninoy Aquino monument at the corner of Ayala and Paseo de Roxas avenues will start at 5 p.m.

At 2 p.m., Villanueva's group will hold a worship program and later join the rally. Villanueva has reportedly promised to bring 100,000 members.
Other religious groups will gather at the Gabriela Silang monument at Ayala and Makati avenues and march to the monument. The groups include Solidarity Philippines, National Council of Churches in the Philippines, Promotion of Church People's Response, Kapatirang Simbahan para sa Bayan, Kairos Philippines, United Church of Christ in the Philippines, United Methodist Church, Iglesia Filipina Indepen-diente, and the Inter-Faith Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Network.
They will start the march to the monument at 3:30 p.m. An hour later, seminarians from the St. Andrews Theological Seminary would perform the "pattong," a Cordillera unity dance, while the religious leaders walk from the Ninoy Aquino monument toward the main stage.

Militant groups led by Bayan, which has promised to bring 20,000 protesters, will join the rally at 3 p.m. Bayan said it has prepared a 20-foot long effigy depicting Arroyo as a "devil snake" holding a gun and bundles of money.

Welcome to exotic Philippine Islands, the province of China. Gloria Arroyo has sold Philippines’ national sovereignty to People’s Republic of China in exchange of ‘sweet deals’ and kickbacks. China’s foreign loans have directly benefited GMA’s greed and her cronies. China, Philippines signed 14 agreements to explore our mines, farmlands, joint offshore exploration operations and telecommunication projects. China Eximbank won’t give foreign loans to the Philippines without string attached to debt. Ousted house speaker Rep. Jose De Venecia should be also held responsible for the Spratly sell-out. He brokered the anomalous North Rail Project. Gloria and JDV are partners in crime.

Gloria Arroyo Confessed Her Crime
Whoever made Gloria Arroyo’s new alibi script is dumb idiot. It seems that she wants to tell the Filipino people ‘another lapse of judgment’. Gloria committed a heinous crime. She did nothing to stop the anomalous deal. The bitch is lying big time.

Did Gloria Arroyo inform her Cabinet men about the irregularities in the ZTE deal before they went to China? Who are involved? What are the specific misdeals? Did she order an official investigation upon learning the alleged irregularities? There are more questions than answers. Why only now?

GMA aware of corruption in NBN deal before signing

President Arroyo yesterday admitted she was aware of the purported corruption in the ZTE-National Broadband Network (NBN) deal that the government forged with the Chinese firm in April last year.
The Chief Executive, during a radio interview over dzRH, however, stressed that she was only informed of the irregularities in the broadband project the night before signing the supply contract.
“I was told about corruption the night before the signing of the supply contract. How could we cancel it the night before the signing,
given that another country was involved in this contract?” she said.
Mrs. Arroyo added she pushed through with the contract because of the compromise with China, whose government-to-government business relationships could have been affected.
The President witnessed the signing of five contracts between the Philippines’ Transportation and Communications Secretary Leandro Mendoza, Education Secretary Jesli Lapus, Trade Secretary Peter Favila and China’s ZTE, Tsinghua Tongfang and other Chinese contractors last April 21, 2007.
It was Mendoza and ZTE president Yu Yong who signed the NBN contract that was witnessed by Mrs. Arroyo.
The Philippine government’s copies of the contract, which were reportedly stolen, had been reconstituted. Daily Tribune

Oust Gloria Macapagal Arroyo!

Gloria Arroyo has no moral authority to lead our divided nation. Political scandal, scams and anomalous transactions under her bogus regime is no longer acceptable.
What else is new? Impeach me! Coup Me! And now Assassinate Me! I think the alleged Al Qaeda plot to assassinate Gloria Arroyo is just a squid tactics to divert public attention on ZTE scam. Lozada’s expose’ has been in the headlines, talk shows and blogosphere for two weeks. Gloria Arroyo and her cohorts need a breathing space. Why only now? The timing is very suspicious.
