STATEMENT ON SC RESOLUTION OF NERI CASE

"We respect the Supreme Court's final resolution on executive privilege in Romy Neri's case, although we still maintain that executive privilege should only cover issues that threaten national security, diplomatic relations and peace and order. Executive privilege should not apply to projects such as the NBN-ZTE contract, or other matters where graft and corruption are alleged.

"We are also still awaiting the Supreme Court's decision on the government's claim of executive privilege over the NEDA documents pertaining to the NBN project. These documents have always been open for all to see, and rightly so, because they are of public interest and relate to projects and programs paid for by the public.

"Our search for the truth on this matter is far from over. We will continue to exhaust all legal resources to get some accountability on this anomalous deal."
