uncertainties and such fears

Quotable Excerpts from the ZTE Senate Hearings

and my Mom’s phone call

“Does reducing hair line mean dishonesty?” –Sen. Jamby Madrigal to Jose de Venecia III

“China invented civilization in Asia. But they also invented corruption.” – Miriam Santiago. She apologized for it afterwards.

“He doesn’t even know if it’s P200, P200,000 or P200M.” – COMELEC Chair Benjamin Abalos (na pagmumukha pa lang, corrupt na), referring to the bribery allegation of NEDA Sec. Romula Neri.

"You are my friend. You have nothing to fear in the congress." - JDV to Abalos in a news interview.

Ako: Ma, andyan po si Gloria ngayon sa New York. (referring to PGMA’s UN trip)

Mama: Oh? Bakit hindi ka nagpadala ng package para sa amin? (thinking of utilizing all means to cheap package delivering from Phil. to US and vice versa)

Ako: Eh, baka hindi makarating sa inyo. Baka kuhanin na lang niya yun.#
