Explanation of NO Vote to the Motion to Declare the Position of Speaker Vacant
Mr. Speaker,
The motion to declare the position of the Speaker vacant is being made
because the Speaker’s son decided to tell the whole truth and nothing
but the truth about the anomalous ZTE-NBN contract. He is being
replaced unceremoniously because the Arroyo bloc in the House which
includes 3 congresspersons, and the President herself wants to discard
a loyal lieutenant whose hands they suspect to have dipped itself into
the cookie jar once too often, and whose differences with the President
and personal ambitions cause Malacañang and the First Family sleepless
nights.
