MANILA, Philippines (Dec. 30, 2011) - The Office of the Ombudsman filed graft cases against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, her husband Jose Miguel Arroyo and two former officials in connection with the NBN-ZTE scandal that errupted in 2007.
The NBN-ZTE deal became a by-word that refers to the aborted $329-million national broadband network (NBN) deal between her administration and ZTE Corp. of China and was a subject of a senate investigation.
