Why Neri did not tell all

I received an email from a friend, with the content supposedly from the Black and White Movement and written by Jun Lozada in October 2007. It explains why Romulo Neri was afraid to tell the Senate during the hearing on the ZTE-NBN deal. There are many reasons stated why Neri was afraid to tell the truth.

Neri was afraid about the expenses of the government during another impeachment proceeding, because more public funds will be spent to buy the silence and favour of the greedy legislators and local executives.

Neri was afraid that the opposition will not pursue a serious impeachment proceedings because they don't want Noli de Castro to become the President in case Arroyo is impeached.

Neri was afraid that the military will not move because the officers are much indebted to Arroyo for their position and the perks that goes with their position.

Neri was afraid that the media will simply wither in the torrents of cash and favors.

Neri was afraid that the businessmen will be reluctant to rock the board of the current economic uptrend.

Neri was afraid that the Civil Society is not tired of mass actions after witnessing two failed EDSA revolutions. Neri was afraid that the middle class is now indifferent to the corruption that goes around them.

Neri was afraid that the Masa, the students, the workers are now too poor and impoverished to be able to afford the time to join mass actions against the abuses of the Arroyo administration.

About the church:
Neri is afraid that even if the Church knows the truth about Arroyo's direct involvement in the ZTE-NBN deal, the Church will still not call for her resignation due to the closeness of Arroyo's trusted lady liason to the Cardinal of Manila who was very effective during the "Hello Garci" crisis. That Arroyo's Religious Affairs Operators have the Bishops firmly in their "donation" graces, as again manifested by the quick rebuttal of the Mindanao Bishops' of the call of their fellow bishops in Luzon who where calling for the resignation of Arroyo just after Arroyo gave them a visit in Mindanao.

The church is against corruption. But it seems that some of our leaders are "corrupted". How can we be effective in our fight against corruption?
