Press statement of Senator M. A. Madrigal

I am saddened by the reaction of the Chinese Embassy, but my duty is to the Filipino people. Obligasyon ko bilang isang Pilipino at Senador ng Bayan na ilabas ang katotohanan, kahit sino man ang tamaan. It is in the interest of both the Filipino and Chinese people that we ferret out the truth.

I take exception as well to the reaction of Secretary Peter Favila that the "FG" in the NEDA letter that I exposed yesterday refers to a NEDA staff who initials is "FGI." Clearly, the handwriting of the person who received the same letter is the same person who wrote the annotation "copy for FG."

Let the administration of Mrs. Arroyo present the original letter as received by the Chinese Embassy and let us have it examined by handwriting experts. The truth will come out.
