It’s open season on Joey de Venecia for apologists of the “ZTE scam”. That’s to be expected after he, under oath, implicated presidential spouse Mike Arroyo, Comelec chief Ben Abalos and Transport-Communication Sec. Leandro Mendoza to lobbying and kickbacks for ZTE Corp. of China. Joey’s detractors are employing the “peanut butter defense”, that is, trying to spread the guilt around. They’re utilizing other media, though, instead of the Senate, where their principals have been summoned.
BIGLANG uminit ang ZTE issue nang idawit ni Rep. Carlos Padilla si Comelec chairman Ben Abalos. Nauna na niyang hinabla si DOTC Sec. Leandro Mendoza nang graft and corruption sa pagpirma sa $330-milyong (P16-bilyong) kontrata.
