FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PLEASE
We at Pagbabago@Pilipinas, together with the rest of the nation believe that the truth about the ZTE project must be allowed to surface that justice may be served. For too long and too often, the administration of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has been contemptuous of any attempts at arriving at the truth on important matters that have robbed the nation of its wealth and wounded its spirit. The latest kidnapping attempt of witness Jun Lozada is another blatant attempt at truth suppression, among many other actions that have attempted to muddle every investigation dating all the way back to the Jose Pidal scandal and including the Hello Garci scandal, the Fertilizer scam, the Southrail projects, the Macapagal highway among many others.
We stand steadfast behind all efforts to arrive at the truth about the ZTE kickback scandal. Let everyone involved testify freely and let justice move swiftly and charge the guilty regardless of who they are.
We say with one voice that anyone who stands in the way of the quest for truth, including GMA and members of her administration, should immediately resign. Politicians who lie, cheat and thwart justice should have no place in the governance of this nation. Enough is enough. The Philippines deserves better-- and our people should settle for nothing less.
