Punto por Punto: Miriam wants "infomercials" probed
Posted at 08/12/2009 11:34 AM | Updated as of 08/12/2009 11:34 AM
Nairita na si Senador Miriam Santiago sa mga naglalabasang infomercial ng mga opisyal at miyembro ng gabinete ni Pangulong Arroyo. Mistulang nangangampanya na raw ang mga nasa infomercial na nagsulputan isang taon bago ang eleksyon. Pondo pa raw ng taong bayan ang nagagamit para mabigyan sila ng pagkakataong mangampanya. Ayon sa senadora, paglabag ito sa Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for public officials. Kaya naman nais niyang paimbestigahan ang mga naturang infomercial sa senado. Punto Por Punto. Umagang Kay Ganda. Agosto 12, 2009.

I am 100% in support of this and similar investigation against all presidentiables. In my several comments to your previous reports, I always clamor for such investigations in the interest of the public. The reason behind is that the people will have an informed decision during the next election. Anim na taon ang ipanunungkulan ng susunod na presidente kaya natural lamang na suriin nating mabuti ang mga kandidato, to avoid the vicious cycle of corrupt practices in the future. I read about Sen. Santiago's preference to run under the ticket of Villar by reason of a debt of gratitude. Unfortunately, Villar is also into infomercials. I don't know how she will reconcile this but I will salute her if her investigation will bear fruit. I only hope that this investigation is not skin-deep. Kudos to you, Sen. Santiago! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
