GORDON ON NBN DEAL
Administration Sen. Richard Gordon said the government did not need to take out a loan to finance an NBN project that the country does not need.
"It should be scrapped. Palpak talaga (It's really bungled). It is not need-driven but supply-driven. We do not need that project. What we need is to spend on education, health," Gordon said, adding: "We should ask China to help us where we need it."
Transportation Secretary Leandro Mendoza had warned of "repercussions" in the country's relations with China if the deal would not push through.
But Gordon dismissed Mendoza's argument.
"China will understand that. China has other deals with us. Now if we ban their products, sampal sa kanila iyon (It's a slap on them)," he said.
