The national interest is foremost in the current Senate inquiry on the proposed national broadband network.
My son appeared before the joint Senate hearings in his own right as a stockholder of the Amsterdam Holdings, Inc.
He has assumed full responsibility before the joint committees for his actions and revelations, which he provided under oath. In the course of his testimony, he named the First Gentleman, Miguel Arroyo, as telling him to back off the NBN program. The First Gentleman has every right to come forward and air his side on the issue.
It’s now for the Senate to determine if Jose de Venecia III was straightforward in telling the unvarnished truth. My son has his own moral principles to guide him. He is his own man, strong enough to stand up for them.
In this issue, both my son and the First Gentleman must be transparent to our people.
The people have the right to know the truth, nothing less. Only the truth…the truth.
This issue is now before the Supreme Court and the Ombudsman. We have to await their decision.
