Vice President Manuel “Noli” de Castro Jr on Wednesday said government officials, including President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, should be charged if they would be found directly involved in the alleged anomalies in the National Broadband Network (NBN) project.

“Nobody is above the law. Lahat ng sangkot from top to bottom dapat makasuhan (Nobody is above the law. Everybody from top to bottom found directly involved in the anomaly should be charged),” De Castro said when asked by GMA News if he would agree to filing charges against public officials, including Mrs Arroyo, who could be implicated in the NBN mess.

De Castro also favors the continuation of the inquiry into the Philippine government’s aborted $329.48-million NBN project with China’s Zhong Xing Telecommunications Equipment (ZTE) Corp, saying there were still many questions left unanswered in the NBN-ZTE deal.
