I have been searching for what really happened in Cebu when Lozada was there. I found a news report of what happened. I was surprised on how stupid Lozada and his followers have behaved...I provided the link here. I don;t understand why people get accused of being pro government when Lozada or his group is asked honest questions like "Why in the world are they not taking there issues to the court instead of the senate and the streets?...please read with an unbiased mind...here's the link Lozada in Cebu
Here is another blogsite you can read about what really happened...This was not in the newspapers much maybe because one of the big newspaper companies is truly biased...hehehehehe here Lozada in CEBU

On Jun Lozada (Whistle blower)
I am posting here a conversation on one site I have come across with. It is interesting how Filipino people seem not to have a clear stand on a lot of issues regarding Jun Lozada. Confusing. And also I can't find a complete background profile of Jun Lozada in the net. I just want a direct information of who this guy is. There are info about him but is mixed with other things.
Is the opposition using Jun Lozada? when will this guy wake up.?
answers:
1. It takes two to tango...that's the relationship between Lozada and the opposition. He knew what he was getting into alright, that's why he shed those copious tears the first time he spoke in the Senate. It must've been an overwhelming experience for him to suddenly be in the limelight and utter those accusations.
But look at him now, he is basking in his newfound popularity...he clearly has gotten the hang of it. When will he wake up, hmmm, that may not happen. Lozada is determined to stand by everything he has said or else he will lose the adulation of those he has successfully convinced.
Does anyone actually believe he has not gotten anything (financially) out of this? The believers are the ones who should wake up.
2. indeed he is an unwilling pawn of some political gods and now even these religious gods. i feel sorry for him, can't wake him up he is
3. In a way, the opposition is taking advantage of Lozada - using him to prop themselves up in the eyes of the public however, Lozada is vital to getting at what really transpired in the aborted ZTE deal which, if realized, would have cost us Filipinos millions of losses in terms of kickbacks and payoffs that would have gone into the pockets of these unscrupulous individuals out to make money for themselves at the expense of the taxpayers.
Lozada doesn't need waking up...he is already wide awake and up and about his business of telling the truth to everyone even if it costs him his life.
4. Yes he is being used and perhaps he knows this. By the way, Estrada (former president and leader of the opposition) was present and addressed the crowd during the last "prayer rally" in Makati last Friday.
5. I think Jun Lozada is smarter and more corrupt than people think. I believe the people, the church, religious orders and students have become the pawn of Jun Lozada and soon he will take his place within the power structure of the Opposition Party.
He went from shy, crying, introvert to rock star too quickly. Which leads me to believe he was always a player and knew exactly what to do.
Who is paying Lozada now? I did hear him on television promoting his speaking tours saying he was willing to travel the country if he had sponsors.
6. in a sense they are,but without the opposition,he's long dead.
7. Exactly.....everything is orchestrated. In the end, he will be the great loser. He can fool intelligent people in UP, La Salle and Ateneo but never million people of the Philippines. He can fool the bishops and nuns, but never an ordinary citizen.
He is using people for his own convenience, but there is a certain for all of that. Only two things....he wants to make money and populatiry. Later on, people will never believe to any whistleblowers as we called it now/ Same thing with people power
8. Yes obviously in a certain way. Look at how opposition senators are leading the questions he has to answer in the senate probe. I think the opposition would like to take over so they can enjoy the spoils of the projects of the government.
I hope this guy wakes up soon that the opposition is using him somehow.
But I admire his courage to tell what he knows regarding the NBN ZTE deal.
9. of course! everybody knows that. We should know by now that in the Philippines, politics is dirty, there is no exemption, and for everyone who do not appreciate the possible good that could come out of Lozada's pronouncements, then i say it again, WE DESERVE THE GOV'T THAT WE HAVE.

On Philippines Issues
I guess I am entitled to my own opinions as well whether you will violently react or agree with me. It's funny that I was called "bugo" (dumb) by one of my visitors in this blog and my other blog. He reacted on the posting and opinion I had about gangs and the vandalism they do all over Davao. Anyway again these are my opinions. I intend not to offend but just vent what is in my mind.
First, I believe that the voice of Manila people is not the voice of the whole Philippines. We here in Mindanao and all other provinces has not been given a chance to speak our minds. Even the media in some ways do not even give a chance for Pinoys in the provinces to speak what they think about the issues confronting the Philippines these days. The media I think have become so biased in some ways. I come from Saranggni province and I don't agree with all that Manila people are trying to do. I believe to call for the President's resignation now is untimely and unwise. Why? because there is nobody to replace her worthy enough of trust. There is only 2.5 years left for her term. Let her finish it and then let the people speak through the election. I don't think she will do more harm now that all eyes are on her.
Second, the government has done and is doing something in terms of development. Again my basis for this is my hometown Maitum Saranggani Province. Since Marcos time it is only now that we feel that the government is doing something. Why? because the basic services to the "small people" are being implemented in our place. Education, health and others services have reached our place including services for the tribal people. Investments are coming in our province. Soon there will be a port, a hydro electric plant and a coal mining and many more that will greatly improve the lives of people in the area. I don't agree with people who always oppose the government and judge it to have not done anything, while they sit as government officials and enjoy lucrative lifestyle. some of them are int he senate. Some of them are protesting in the streets.
Third, Lozada. I do agree with the call for transparency and seeking truth from government. But the question I always ask is what truth are we looking for? Truth that there is corruption in government. We all know that, in fact we have even daily participated in it. From "under the table deals" we make for speedy processing of our driver's licenses and the money we give to escape a ticket, to the unregistered motor bikes and jeepneys all over the Philippines and the taxes big companies don't pay. I agree with the call, but it is a call for all of us not just officials in government. I believe that we will succeed only when the simple Filipino will learn to throw his trash in the bin not in the street, only when the simple Filipino learns to use the overpass instead of crossing the highway anytime. We succeed only when we abide abide by the law ourselves, And if we call for accountability and truth then Lozada has to be in court and be accountable for the corruption he did. He is forgiven yes but the consequences of his act in the past has affected the nation and we have the law to deal with it. If we allow Lozada to just be forgiven and not be accountable then we will see more star witnesses coming forward and the circus starts again. The street protests are not the places for which people are to be accountable. The law provides the right places for it in our judicial system. And if you say this system is useless then you are saying anarchy is better and street justice is great.
Lozada. Star witness. Whatever, what I now see is a person who just keeps on talking and talking taking advantage of people's emotions. I'm sorry but that is how I see him now. He keeps on talking but has not really presented any concrete evidences to prove anything. Filipinos are fond of "tsismis" (gossips) and that is how I see it now. He has become a gossiper because he lacks the evidence for his claims. And politics and politicians who have their own personal intentions have jumped in and made everything a circus. We have the law and we have to abide in it. People power will be abused if we decide on issues because of people marching on the streets of Manila. What did the other people power movements do? To see Cory and Estrada at the same time in the same place, I think they all have been just used for political reasons. Can't you see it?
Again these are my opinions....no offense meant.....hehehehhehe
hehehe
