Lying under oath? Picture shows Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos and Sec. Romulo Neri taking their oaths to tell the truth and nothing but the truth before the Senate Investigating Committee on NBN deal .
Who is lying under oath? In a Senate hearing on the National Broadband Network (NBN) project which involves US$330 million and surrounded with charges of corruption, Mr. Jose De Venecia III admitted under oath he was offered US$10 million by Comelec Commissioner Benjamin Abalos, Sr. if he withdrew his bid for the NBN.
De Venecia is a principal stockholder of Ams-terdam Holdings, Inc.
On the same Senate investigation, former secretary Romulo Neri of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) admitted Comelec Commissioner Benjamin Abalos, Sr. offered him also P200 million to facilitate approval of the NBN project of the Department of Transportation and Communication.
Neri testified, the offered was made by Abalos “while they were on a golf cart”. “Sec, may dalawang daan ka dito”, (Sec, you have 200 here) quoted Neri during his testimonies. He was shocked, as he felt the amount is too big. He is not used to being offered and it was quite big.
Chairman Abalos said he cannot recall giving them the offer and he has no reason to offer a bribe.
Abalos said, De Venecia and Neri are lying under oath. Who between the two told the truth/MP
