Who, exactly, is Joe De Venecia III?
This ZTE deal is becoming a Public Relations nightmare for the Arroyo Administration, mainly because her government’s corruption accuser, is no less than the son of one of GMA’s close allies.
It’s one thing to hear news about corruption in the GMA Administration from the Opposition, but its another to hear it among her allies. You can expect the Opposition to exaggerate & even lie about charges of corruption against this Administration. It is in their nature & interest to do so.
However, when the charges start coming from her allies themselves, then that’s something that would make you sit up & take notice. At the very least, it means trouble is abrewing in her camp.

JDV3 is a champion of the people, going against the corrupt people in GMA’s Administration. He is someone who had experienced corruption first hand as a bidder on one of the government’s biggest projects, & has now come out to expose these people in the interest of ‘delicadeza’.
It doesn’t help, that a study had come out saying that the whole broadband project is “unnecessary”. Even worst, are the accusations that the project is overpriced.
So you have the broadband deal that is not needed, & grossly disadvantageous to the government which the government insist on pushing thru, had it not been for JDV3’s expose.
The fact that he has close relations to the GMA camp boosts his credibility, since he would not necessarily be doing it unless there really was a good cause to do it.
