Neri may have been the Man of the Hour when he testified against Abalos last Wednesday, but the whole episode only revealed that he was totally unsuitable for the NEDA post as well. Pressed by Sen. Roxas about why he approved the project despite the likelihood of high-level corruption, he was unable to defend his actions. He simply hemmed and hawed and tried to pass the buck to the DOTC, claiming that he only approved of the concept and the policy, but the implementation issue should be directed at the DOTC.
He may have shown moral courage when he confirmed Abalos' bribe, but the fact that he did not block this project when he was clearly in a position to means he should be made accountable as well.
