New impeach complaint filed against Arroyo (3:39 p.m.)
MANILA -- A new impeachment complaint was filed before the Office of House Secretary General against President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo late Friday afternoon.
Lawyer Ruel Pulido, the complainant, has accused Arroyo of betraying the public trust, following her alleged failure to stop the reported bribery in connection with the scrapped $329 million National Broadband Network (NBN) deal with China’s Zhong Xing Telecommunications (ZTE) Corp.
The complaint was endorsed by Laguna Representative Edgar San Luis.
Three opposition congressmen on Saturday however expressed belief that the impeachment complaint was meant to give the President a one year protection from facing a genuine and strong complaint and in
turn allow her allies to launch a bold ouster move against House Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. (Sunnex)
