Conspiracy theorists will have a ball with MLQ’s alrtcie The quest for an honest broker .If indeed it was GMA who invited Malaysia to broker the peace talks between MILF and the ROP then she could have only done that after consultations with her national security advisers, foremost among them Norberto Gonzalez.Gonzalez hid in Sabah during the Marcos years. Malaysia tolerated the presence of MNLF fighters, Nur Misuari, Gonzalez and Fr. Archie Intengan in Sabah. Marcos was unloved by Malaysia because of Jabidah and his plot to infiltrate Sabah.Gonzalez has always been the go-to man of GMA whenever very sensitive issues had to be back-channeled with Malaysia.Gonzalez enjoys a very close relationship with Malaysian intelligence. During the time of Mahathir, friends from the Phil. Embassy in KL, have told me that Gonzalez would be picked up at the airport by officials from the Prime Minister’s office even if he arrived with an official delegation. There is even a story that Mahathir scolded Gonzalez over an issue, I think the mistaken citizenship of an underaged rape victim, that embarrassed the Malaysian government. Scolding happens between parents and children, teachers and students, and superiors and subalterns. It doesn’t happen between representatives of two friendly sovereign states.Recall that in the early years of GMA’s reign, Gonzalez was accused of treason because he had agreed to give up territory to the MILF. He was investigated in both houses of Congress for it.the search for an honest broker starts with an honest adviser
Meralco: When there’s not enough cttiempoion among private entities for service, the consumers will be the end losers. The government can only provide balance. Meralco as a private corporation employs people who pays individual income tax as revenue to the government. Private corporation has social responsibility among its customers. It should not over charge to burden the public thus will seek assistance from the government ( law enacted by Congress in late 1994, RA 7832). I doubt it if social responsibility is being practiced by most private corporations if other government entities own stocks. Conflict of interest exists (mention by supremo)and the burden will be absorbed by the consumers. An analysis of costs and benefits must be studied and at the same time provide incentives to new entities who can compete. Competition and entrepeneurship must be encouraged in our country. Competition will drive prices down and enhance quality.
