Ed Pontaoe:

Ed, we are already in recession. No jobs. Filipinos are leaving the country 2,000 plus everyday looking for greener pastures.

PGMA is trumpeting the economy has turned around. I see a dent. More than 6 years at the helm, she could have acted like Teddy Roosevelt during the great depression. She’s trying but too late. She remained a lameduck because she’s careless.

To protect her incumbency, she has to distribute the money brown bags. She did this twice with CBCP. I think she relied on her corrupt husband, the FG. Why she let the FG and the corrupt Comelec Abalos get involved in the ZTE contract?

Imagine Abalos paid in full the P1.3 billion poll automation contract without the benefit of testing, training of operators, warranty for 1-year and spare parts (walang utak) and then the Alzheimer SC spared him from the gallows.

Abalos is now retiring. Do you think he deserves all his entitlements as a retiree?
