“Kasi tinanong ko sa kanila [I asked them], reputations are at stake there. Maraming lumalabas na report [A lot of reports are coming out] from different media outlets na dinawit daw si ganito, si ganyan [implicating this person and that]. I named the First Gentleman. I said, ‘even up to the First Gentleman, his name was being dragged into this World Bank controversy. Can you confirm or deny the participation of these people?’” Zubiri said. “Sabi niya [He said], ‘You know senator, first of all, we regret that these controversies are abounding, are spreading around the country because, really, we’re looking at collusion and not corruption’,” Zubiri said, referring to Theis, who was answering his questions. “In other words, ang hinahabol nila yung [they are chasing after the] collusion angle, hindi yung corruption so kung may pay-offs hindi daw nila tinitingnan yun [not the corruption so if there are pay-offs, they are not looking at those],” the senator added.-Sen Miguel Zubiri

Putting the spin on the WB scandal?
