The ZTE-NBN case at the Senate hearing yesterday somehow became clearer of what actually happen when Jun Lozada arrived from Hongkong. The hearing tried to establish whether or not Lozada’s rights were violated when authorities whisked him away from his family shortly after his arrival last Tuesday.

Present as resource persons in the hearing are National Police chief Dir. Gen. Avelino Razon Jr, former presidential chief of staff Mike Defensor, Manila International Airport General Manager Alfonso Cusi, Deputy Executive Secretary Manuel Gaite and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Lito Atienza are questioned by the Blue Ribbon Committee.

I’ve watched the live telecast yesterday and firmly believe that Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada is telling the truth in his testimonies. Not even once that you can see him irritated, he even cried when other “witnesses” answered the question. Cover-up? Yup, based on the questioning, there were loopholes on their answers and covering up somehow for “big boy” and “ma’am”. What will happen next? Who will be next for questioning?

From the start, the nuns and priests supported Jun Lozada. Now, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers launched “Piso para kay Lozada, “Piso para sa Katotohanan” to fund his legal defense amid threats of legal suits from the administration and its allies. Concerned citizen should participate to the campaign to show our support to Jun Lozada.

Former President Corazon Aquino announced that there will be a mass on Sunday at 10am at La Salle Greenhills to celebrate the Edsa Revolution Anniversary and maybe a good timing to support Jun Lozada. I hope our honorable senators will do their part for the entire filipino people.
