Bitch.

Aside from the national broadband network (NBN) project, the Philippines is still a signatory to another confidential loan -- a 4 billion-dollar loan with ZTE International Investment Ltd., the sister company of Zhong Xing Telecommunications Equipment Co. Ltd. (ZTE Corp.) of the infamous broadband deal. This was disclosed by Trade Secretary Peter Favila during the Senate hearing on the NBN deal. The $4 billion loan is for the establishment of an information technology school and training center; exploration, development and operation of mining areas in North Davao and Diwalwal in Compostela Valley in Mindanao, and the establishment of a special economic zone in Davao.

Wow, masyadong generous naman ang mga Intsik. Pero teka, me colatilla daw ang loan. As reported by GMANews.tv:

In the MoU, it indicated that "unless otherwise required by law, regulation or an order of a court or any appropriate government agency, a party hereto shall not reveal the contents of this agreement, or issue any press release or make any public announcement pertaining to the projects contemplated herein without prior written approval of all the parties to this agreement."

GANUNNNNN!!!!! We are going to pay for something we are not allowed to know? At bakit?

This is crazy. Ipinapangutang na ang buwis ko ng di ko alam? AT di ko puwedeng malaman? *#@*&^%)(&)*&!!!!!!!

Pero ang malala, ipinapahamak tayo ng gobyerno na hindi rin natin alam. Article 11 of the agreement for Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking in Certain Areas in the South China Sea (JMSU) between China and the Philippines, it is stated:

This Agreement and all relevant documents, information, data and imports with respect to the joint marine seismic undertaking shall be kept confidential during the Agreement Term and within five (5) year after its expiration and shall not be disclosed by a Party to any third party without the written consent of the other Party. However, no consent shall be required when said documents, information, data and reports are disclosed, for the purpose of implementation of this Agreement, to the Parties' respective governments, affiliates or stock exchanges on which a Party's shares are registered.

Ibig sabihin, sekreto lang ang gagawin ng Pilipinas at China sa Spratlys at di ipapaalam (1) sa mga Pilipino, at (2) sa ibang bansa na involved gaya ng Malaysia, Brunei, at Taiwan. Kung hindi pa umangal ang Vietnam, di rin nito malalaman.

The problem, the act of China and the Philippines is treachery on the part of the other claimants. Ang masaklap, ang Pilipinas pa ang nagsulong na status quo muna bago ang JMSU.

Ganito na ba talaga ka-traydor ang gobyernong Arroyo? If she really studied economics, did she even think of the cost-benefit analysis of entering into a treacherous agreement with China? And did she even think of the welfare of the Filipinos? Paano kung mag-spark ng giyera ang ginawa nila? Kaya ba ng sandatahang lakas ng Pilipinas na paangat pa lang ang mga helicopter at fighterplanes sumasabog na kahit hindi binabaril? Na kahit ang Abu Sayyaf na sabi ay ilang dosena lang di pa magapi-gapi? O kaya ang mga rebeldeng New People's Army na sabi ay ilang daan na lamang?

Tama si Albay Gov. Joey Salceda. Bitch. And more than a bitch. Just to enrich the pockets of the privileged few, ibebenta na lamang ng ganun kasimple ang mga Pilipino?

Grrrrr....@##@%#@^%^@$%$&^$!!!!!
