Catanduanes
dads urge PGMA
to create special NBN-ZTE probe body
Local
leaders of Catanduanes, under the leadership of Gov. Joseph
C. Cua, have expressed their unconditional support to the
administration and leadership of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
During
the first assembly of the Liga ng mga Barangay of Catanduanes,
Gov. Cua underscored the support received by the province
from the national government under the Arroyo administration.
“In
Catanduanes alone, the President has given our province billions
worth of project, from infrastructure to hunger mitigation,”
he said.
He
cited that in 2007 alone, the DPWH implemented projects totaling
P1.224 billion, P425 million for five projects undertaken
by the regional office, and P799 by the district offices.
The
governor pointed out that the provincial government believes
that Pres. Arroyo is doing well for the country, and these
are reflected in the improving economic conditions such as
the increasing power of the peso, the upward growth rate and
other indicators.
Apart
from affirming their support to the President and her administration,
the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Catanduanes likewise urged
Pres. Arroyo to create a special commission to conduct a no-nonsense
investigation into the ZTE-NBN project, report the findings
and results of the investigation to the Filipino people in
order that the proper courts could convict those who are found
guilty and exonerate the innocent.
They
likewise urged the chief executive to populate the special
commission with members of unquestionable integrity and probity.
The
Catanduanes provincial legislators and the barangay officials,
in separate resolutions, expressed dismay over the “apparently
scripted and partial investigations of the Senate.”
The
local leaders said that the scriptwriter and the directors
of the investigation on the alleged irregularities and corruption
already have their eyes set on the 2010 elections and do not
care about what becomes of the Filipino people when the country
collapses because of their political propaganda and gimmickry.
