                    [Title] => Spreading the guilt around, a usual crisis-PR defense - Gotcha
                    [Summary] => 

"Antolin Oreta is presidential adviser on economic zones, not on infrastructures." Thus did Presidential Spokesman Jerry Barican defend the award of a P757-million public contract to LAMP Sen. Tessie Aquino's husband. Although Barican sounded smug, he was squirming behind the dais. He probably knew his words would leave a bad taste in the mouth.

Sure, Oreta was the lowest of four bidders, but National Irrigation Administration had replaced public bidding with a simplified process of inviting only the four to submit bids for the Tarlac project.
