GOTCHA By Jarius Bondoc

Monday, March 17, 2008

A short item in this space in Jan. set the bosses of a government bank on a witch-hunt for my source. It was about the bank president paying himself, the board directors and senior officers P2 million to P10 million each in loyalty bonus. The amount depended on the receivers’ closeness to the president. One newcomer got P4 million just for being a yes-man, not for fulfilling the bank’s role of development of the Philippines.

Villar nangangambang ma-‘onse’ sa Spratlys

ni: (Rey Marfil)

Bagama’t ipinangako ng Malacañang ang kahandang isuko sa dalawang Kapulungan ng Kongreso ang mga dokumento sa nilagdaang Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking (JMSU), kaagad inilutang ni Senate President Manuel Villar Jr., ang senaryong hindi ito tuparin ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

San Miguel mayayari sa paper trail sa NBN

(Rey Marfil)

Sa kabila ng tagumpay na inaangkin ng Malacañang matapos bumaliktad si Cable guy Leo San Miguel sa broadband hearing, posibleng ma-knockout ang testigo kapag nailabas ang paper trail sa nangyaring suhulan at over pricing sa national broadband network (NBN) project.

Ayon kay Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, hindi kailangan pang maghanap ng testigo para mapatunayan ang suhulan dahil madidiin ang sinumang kasamahan ni San Miguel sa Greedy Group.

Dokumento sa Spratlys deal inaasahang isusumite ng Malacañang sa Senado

UMAASA si Senate President Manny Villar na tutuparin ng Malacañang ang pangako nitong bibigyan sila ng opisyal na kopya ng Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking (JMSU) at iba pang mga dokumento ng pakikipagkasundo sa China at Vietnam ukol sa Spratly Islands alang-alang na rin sa ikalilinaw ng nasabing usapin.
