Witness ‘Alex’ missing; NBN probe to push on with ‘Joe’

All too suddenly, ZTE-National Broadband Network (NBN) scam witness, known only by his alias “Alex,” has gone missing, according to his handler Iloilo Vice Gov. Rolex Suplico who only a week ago claimed that Alex was being guided by him to recognize the pressure styles of Malacañang while in a safehouse Suplico had arranged.

Yesterday, the opposition vice governor suddenly informed media that his witness had gone missing and that he has not been able to get in touch with Alex, in a broad hint that his witness would not be testifying before the Senate.

But opposition Sen. Panfilo Lacson appeared unfazed by the missing witness, saying even if Alex is no longer going to testify, the hearing will go on, as there is still another witness whom he called “Joe” who can testify on the Shenzhen visit.

Freed from accountability, a one-term president has vast powers over treasury and bureaucracy

Our 1987 Constitution limits a president to only one term of six years.

This limitation was supposed to keep presidents from ruling for life, as the late Ferdinand Marcos was about to do.

Temptation to bad governance

But six years with no re-election tempts a president to ignore the tenets of good governance and make the most of what he has for himself—to hell with public accountability, opinion polls and exhortations from the churches.

And it harms Philippine republican democracy by taking away from the citizenry a valuable means to check presidents and their ruling parties.
