First Gentleman appearing no more in Senate
Although the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee had invited Mike Arroyo to appear before the senate investigation, to shed light on the allegation of the speaker's son that the first gentleman had reportedly intervened in the ZTE broadband deal, the projected investigation is now closed. The doctors of the first gentleman will not allow him to face the senate inquiry as this will be disastrous to his health. As many know, the first gentleman had underwent heart surgery operation many months ago and it will be dangerous for him to face intensive questioning. Besides, the first gentleman had denied in a press statement that he did not intervene in the ZTE broadband project. Due to the health condition of Mike Arroyo, the young De Venecia seems not interested anymore to pursue the investigation.
This event is heartwarming since Pres. Gloria Arroyo can concentrate on her massive economic development plans and other infrastructure projects for the sake of the country's welfare and also to benefit many jobless Filipinos and help the needy and hungry poor. GMA would no longer worry about her husband since he is now resting well and will not be bothered by the Senate investigation.
Besides, the alleged accusation of the young De Venecia is now moot and academic as Pres. Arroyo had scrapped the ZTE project and other investigation that the Senate may make will only be history. Let's give the first gentleman peace and tranquility in order that he can recover from his heart ailment and back to his practice of law. We wish you Mike Arroyo Godspeed.
