Reaksyon ng publiko sa ZTE scandal ‘di dapat balewalain – Obispo

Dapat tingnan ng Malacañang kung papaano ipinapakita ng publiko ang kanilang galit sa katiwalian at pang-aabuso ng pamahalaan sa kontrobersyal na National Broadband Network project sa ZTE Corp ng China, ayon kay Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz. "The Court of Public Opinion has already formed a judgment. They require no documentary evidence which can be in fact manufactured. The general public highly appreciates credible individuals and simply uses common sense in firmly deciding who are truthful and who are liars, who are upright and who are corrupt 'to the bones,'" ayon kay Cruz. Inakusahan ng obispo na "beyond redemption" na ang pamahalaan sa dinaranas nitong “moral bankruptcy." "The hour of final decision has come—a decision which the key government official with the conspirators devoid of conscience have to make or will be made by the people for them," sinabi ni Cruz. Maliban umano sa ilang paborito ng Malacanang at mga nakikinabang sa katiwalian, inihayag ni Cruz na patuloy na dumadami ang mga Filipino na nadidismaya sa mga iskandalong kinasasangkutan ng gobyerno. "Long and deeply buried in a huge pile or rotten and rotting garbage, the ruling administration has become one big living infection already immune to remedial sanitation," aniya. Marami rim umanong mga kabataan at nakatatandang Filipino ang sawa na sa "behavioral brazenness" ng pamahalaan. "There are groups of individuals among the professionals and business people, in the academe and work force, among the employees and laborers, who are appalled at the gross misdeeds eventually appended to the incumbent national leadership," idinagdag ni Cruz. "Add hereto practically all the members of the Fourth Estate who know only too well about the many flagrant socio-moral liabilities of the de facto sitting Chief Executive—and the over-all scenario becomes morally suffocating," pagtatapos niya. - GMANews.TV
