ON THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION UPHOLDING THE EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE CLAIM OF CHED CHAIRMAN ROMULO NERI

"We respect the decision of the Supreme Court though we disagree with it and maintain that the principle of executive privilege should not be applied to conceal the truth about an anomalous public transaction.

"We shall obey the bench even as we pursue the truth behind the ZTE broadband deal in behalf of the Filipino. Without denigrating the earlier consensus of my colleagues, I still feel it would have been wiser to have accepted the compromise offer of the Supreme Court and have Neri face the Senate earlier."
