The budget that had been earmarked then was 35 million pesos at the time. <BR/><BR/>A European country sold a set of equipment to RP when it received an end user certificate which was required then by the exporting country. <BR/><BR/>Max Soliven published my inputs in his column on the same score a while ago - immediately after Gonzales said that the country had no wiretapping ability - just can't remember date. <BR/><BR/>Look for those guys who shopped for and bought the equipment and you can start tracing the source.<BR/><BR/>DJB, the witnesses in the Senate like Robles, Honasan et al do NOT have the credibiity vis a vis their comrades - the AFP guys who are in the know will never come out because those two guys are not worth the sacrifice.<BR/><BR/>Unless Biazon starts 'shooting', his investigation will lead to nowhere.HILLBLOGGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977843513566589811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1137680900929418982006-01-19T22:28:00.000+08:002006-01-19T22:28:00.000+08:00Hopefully senator Biazon's inquiry will end up dif...Hopefully senator Biazon's inquiry will end up differently from the other senate inquiries. <BR/><BR/>It's in aid of legislation, so supposed to be, a good law will be enacted and "implemented".<BR/><BR/>But I would be very interested on the 'truth' behind all these. Who approved of it? Who benefited from it? and many more questions that begs to be answered. I'll definitely watch out for developments!Jon Marianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386575006513247160noreply@blogger.com
