Lozada abduction reaches Malacañang doorstep

by Dennis Gadil

The chief of the Presidential Security Group yesterday said M/Sgt. Bong Fantillanan, one of four PSG men present at the Terminal 1 last Feb. 5 an hour before the arrival of ZTE star witness Rodolfo Lozada Jr., is in their roster.

But Brig. Gen. Romeo Prestoza said Fantillanan had the “mandate” to be at the Terminal 1 as the PSG contingent was anticipating the arrival of Jose Miguel Arroyo the following day.

He said the PSG men were not there for Lozada nor were they involved in the alleged attempt to prevent him from testifying in the Senate.

He said the name of the PSG was being dragged into the controversy because of its link to Malacañang.

An airport official said Fantillanan has regular access to the NAIA.

The official said Fantillanan’s name did not show up in the list of the Pass Control Section because he holds a seasonal pass, which is good for six months to one year.

Senators conducting a “walk through” Thursday at Terminal 1 came upon an airport security logbook which showed a contingent of PSG men was at the airport at around 3:30 p.m.

The security logbook at the Dignitaries Lounge basement also showed that a PSG team on board a gray Toyota Corolla Altis (ZCJ 556) entered the VIP area.

The logbook entry said the PSG men were “going upstairs” to the Dignitaries Lounge.

Two more vehicles, a Ford Everest (WAA 525) carrying Brig. Gen. (ret.) Angel Atutubo, NAIA security chief, and a Nissan QRV (ZLJ 839), arrived later at the same VIP area at around 4:23 p.m.

Airport sources said at least two PSG officers were at the Dignitaries Lounge with retired army sergeant Rodolfo Valeroso and Atutubo minutes before Lozada’s arrival.

Fantillanan was said to be the walking behind Lozada as shown on official airport video footage

The senators did not buy the initial explanation of airport officials led by Alfonso Cusi, general manager of the Manila International Airport Authority, that PSG personnel are a regular fixture at the NAIA airport, especially when foreign dignitaries are arriving.

The Senate investigation on Lozada’s abduction resumes Monday with summonses issued to Police Security and Protection Office (PSPO) head Chief Supt. Romeo Hilomen and six PSPO personnel.

The PSPO personnel are SPO2 Nelson Malto, SPO3 Lou Ochea, SPO1 Jose Batutoc, PO2 William Quililan, SPO2 Glicerio Gallinera and SPO2 Jaime Halog.

The PSPO personnel were with Col. Paul Mascariñas, also from the PSPO, when they allegedly abducted Lozada.

Also invited were Chief Supt. Atilano Morada, head of the Aviation Security Group, and La Salle Bro. Felipe Belleya.

Belleya, a friend of Lozada, gave him and his family shelter at the La Salle Greenhills Dormitory in San Juan.

Lozada and his sister, Carmen, were also summoned.

Prestoza was not summoned.

Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said it would be up to the immediate superiors of the PSG if they would allow any of its members to testify in the Senate.

The PSG is under the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

AFP chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon said he will wait for the Senate invitation before deciding whether he would allow the PSG men to attend the hearing.

OSG:No abduction

Solicitor General Agnes Deva-nadera and 17 other lawyers made an ocular inspection of the route taken by Lozada and his escorts at the NAIA Terminal 1 and concluded there was no abduction.

“As viewed in the video footage, Lozada was seen walking freely and even using his cellular phone, while his alleged abductor, Valeroso was seen lagging behind carrying his hand carried luggage,” she said.

“Sana man lang ay nangurot siya o kumalabit sa mga taong nandoon, but based on what I saw walang puwersahan na nangyari,” she said.

File case in court

Razon appealed to Lozada to file abduction charges in court.

Razon insisted the PNP only acted on Environment Secretary Lito Atienza’s request to secure Lozada.

He said the abduction issue has had an adverse reaction on his family.

But despite this, Razon said he felt vindicated after testifying at the Senate last Monday. – With Jocelyn Montemayor, Victor Reyes Jay Chua and Raymond Africa

    Isang araw bago dumating ang baboy ay nasa terminal 1 na si M/Sgt. Bong Fantillanan para sumalubong! Hanep sa script ang EK!

    Gloria’s prints are all over terminal 1 in the abduction/kidnapping of Lozada! Hindi na ninyo magago ang pinoy!

    Wala nang lusot talaga ang Malacanang. Ang trabaho ng PSG ay pangalagaan lang ang Pangulo at pamilya niya. So, what was that PSG man doing at the airport walking side by side with Lozada? But as usual, Malacanang has another alibi. Nagkataon daw na nandoon iyon. Sasalubungin daw si FG Mike Arroyo. They now claim Mike Arroyo was also arriving on that day. What a coincidence!

  3. Valdemar Valdemar

    There are good men with good brains at the beck and call of Malacanan. The only thing is that Malacanan use their kidneys to come out with lame reasons.

    Habang tumatagal at kapag patuloy ang palpak na istorya ng Malacanang, lalong lumilitaw ang katotohanan. With this new evidence involving a PSG man and the recent ocular inspection by the Senators at the airport, magandang subay-bayan na naman ang hearing sa Lunes. However, beware of Malacanang attack dogs…Miriam, Joker, Enrile and possibly Bong Revilla. Etong gagong Bong na ito biglang masipag sa Senado. He wants to check Lozada’s cell phone messages daw kung sinu-sino ang tinawagan niya at kinausap ni Lozada iyong araw na na-kidnap siya. Dahil sa kakaunti ang Senador na taga-administration, pati itong maniakis na si Bong Revilla inutusan ng Malacanang.

  5. Valdemar Valdemar

    BB,
    Selos lang si Bong. Baka tinatawagan ni Lozada ang mga chicks niya. At chaka si ma’am.

  6. Brownberry Brownberry

    Simula nang naging Senador si Bong, ngayon ko lang nakitang nag-attend ng hearing at naging masipag. Sana batukan ng kumpare niyang si Jinggoy. I remember during their long months of misunderstanding after Edsa 2, parang maamong tupa at umiiyak pang gustong makipagsundo kay Jinggoy. Batukan mo nga ng malakas iyan, Jinggoy!

    OSG Agnes Devanadera said that based on video Jun Lozada was walking freely.

    OO nga naman, di musmus na bata na kailangan pang hawakan. But Agnes, Jun has been surrounded and has no option but to follow directions of military people who surrounded him where to go to, otherwise, he would have been going through the regular route by himself not the VIP exit pass.

    Another Malacanang stooge.

    Game na nga…. So far….

    HOW MANY MALACANANG BRIGHT BOYS/GIRLS TRIED TO FIX JUN LOZADA?

    Hehe.

  8. Brownberry Brownberry

    Ano ang gusto ng gagang iyan? Nakaposas si Lozada habang naglalakad sa airport?

  9. cocoy cocoy

    Kaya raw nila sinalubong si Lozada sa airport dahil duda sila sa kanya,kasi pinabili raw ata ng rolex at mga mamahaling bagay,mga hundred thousand dollars ang ginastos kaya iyun ang papel ni Valeroso sa airport na kunin ang hand carry niya dahil doon nakasilid ang diamond ring.Kung ako ba naman ang utusan at itira sa pinakamahal na hotel ay pupunta ako dahil feeling milyonaryo ako kahit mga ilang araw lang.Kaya pala ganon na lang kung magbigay si Defensor ng P50,000 na pang kape kay Lozada,kaso libre pala ang kape sa mga madre kaya isinauli.Itutuloy ang kuwento sa lunes sa senado.Palagay ko kaya interesado si Bong sa cell phone niya dahil gustong kilatisin ang mga chicks na nakilala ni Jun Lozada,ay manyakis talaga.Hehehe!

  10. parasabayan parasabayan

    Akala natin si Valeroso lang ang sumundo kay Lozada, eh 5 o 6 na SPOs pala at tatlong sasakyan! Wow parang entourange ng VIP talaga, hane! Ano naman ang laban talaga ng probinsiyanong si Lozada kung hindi sumunod na lang sa iniuutos nila sa kanya. Mga matipuno ang mga katawan ng SPOs.

  11. parasabayan parasabayan

    Sa tingin ko, mahirap hirap lusutan ni DOROBO ang abduction na ito ni Lozada. It looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, because it is really a duck!

  12. Brownberry Brownberry

    Kaya nga eh…duck duck ng duck duck lang ang alam ng Malacanang at PNP.

  13. chi chi

    Gloria is a dead duck ducking!

  14. Brownberry Brownberry

    chi, baka magalit sa atin si Erap…dahil maraming alaga siyang duck sa Tanay.

    Kung andun si PSG Fantillan sa airport dahil darating daw kinabukasan si Mike Pidal eh bakit kasama yata siya nung umalis yung convoy? Dapat eh naka-vigil sya duon hanggang sa dumating yung Mafia Boss. Dapat i-check din ang past records of frequency ng sinasabi nilang Liason officer detailment at kung sino ang sinusundo. At isa pa ay kung andun si Fantillan nung dumating si Mafia Boss.

  16. luzviminda luzviminda

    Marami pang revelations si Jun Lozada sa Senate hearing. At sana sa susunod ay samahan na siya ni Neri. At tingnan natin ang script ni Valeroso.

  17. parasabayan parasabayan

    Luz mukhang niliquidate na ni DOROBO si Valeroso. Tahimik eh. Sana naman hindi for the sake of his family. But kapag nakisawsaw siya sa mafia, lagot siya talaga kung lalabag siya sa “code” nila. See no evil talk no evil kung hindi, six feet under the ground ang destination niya. With over 800 unexplained extrajudicial killings, one add on will not matter.

  18. luzviminda luzviminda

    PSB,

    Pag di inilitaw ni Morada yang si Valeroso ay kargo niya dahil siya yata ang nag-utos na ‘samahan’ si Lozada. Baka nagpapraktis ng script. Kaso mukhang yung mga kapamilya ay tahimik din, baka na ‘soft-touch’ na rin bilang insurance.

  19. I really cannot help fume in anger about how crooks like Atienza can still go scot-free when they have brazenly and deliberately lied under oath which constitutes what is over where I am as “perjury,” which is a criminal offense.

    Tama si Leah Navarro when she said that these crooks would have nothing good to teach their children, at kung nakakatulog pa sila.

  20. Golly, may mga logbook na nga, nakakapagsinungaling pa without butting an eye! Wow! Better have all those logbooks kept in vaults that the dorobos cannot steal and conceal. Baka mawala na naman ang mga ebidensiyang iyan like those now missing ballots that Zubiri has claimed for instance have enabled him to unseat Koko Pimentel.

  21. Ang masama baka gayahin ng mga wannabe criminals ang examples ng mga mokong na ito na ayaw mawalan ng trabaho, and worse, suhol that the dorobos can afford to deplete from the treasury.

  22. cocoy cocoy

    Kaya pala naubusan ng Razon ang PNP dahil sabit pala ang mga PSG na dumukot kay Lozada,pinaikot-ikot pa ni Mel Mascara ang script niya at pinapatubo ni Atutubo ang mga kasinungalingan niya,pati iyung Batiting na abugado ay hinubaran ni Lacson ng pantalon at kanina ko lang nalaman na may dalawang anak pala na babaing artista si Atienza,mahusay mag drama at may pa crying-crying pa dahil malinis daw ang hawaiian polo shirt ng kanilang papa.

    Ang matiyagang nagla-logbook ay privately hired security guards sa alin mang establisment. Sa NAIA, may mga private security guards. Sila yong ang motto: No ID, No Entry. SOP sa kanila ang gumawa ng entries sa logbook for every movement sa kanilang pwesto. Ang tanong ngayon, nasaan yong nag-logbook, yong gumawa ng mga entries? Baka dinispatsa na rin!?

  24. florry florry

    Kahaba haba man ang prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang tuloy.

  25. florry florry

    It can’t be that both Jun Lozada and the Gloria boys are telling the truth. One is lying and we know who are those peddling the Rule of Lies.

  26. balweg balweg

    Ang sinungaling kapatid yan ng marami pang sinungaling at kamag-anak ng mga liars.

    Ang simpleng scenario eh gagawin pa tayong mga bobo ng Pidalismo regime na ito. Sa bibig nila nanggaling ang tunay na mga pangyayari pero grabe ang pagdedenay nila.

    Kulili na ang ears ko sa mga iyan at dapat kutusan sa noo ang mga iyan ng matauhan, nakakagalit na talaga. Folks pasensiya na minsan lang kasi ako magalit at kailangan magtago na sila sa kanilang pinaggalingan.

    Ginagawa tayong BOBA ng mga iyan eh!

  27. Brownberry Brownberry

    Cocoy, curious akong malaman kung may relation itong sina PNP Chief Razon at iyong mestisong kabarkada ni FG na si Ricky Razon. At kung related din sa dati kong idol na si Darius Razon.

    There were three colors coding in abductions,RED,BLUE & WHITE,It start in blue after snatching or pick up,it means wait/standby go lamierda for farther instructions,on white level instructions which means clear retiring for good the subject,if situations turn sour, RED would be declare, abort all mission.Failures of silencing MR. JUN cause the panic on all involved from top to the lowest level.Who cause the failure?The planner who’s that guy,the first one who try to misled everybody for bringing JUN,if not from the Bees(MEDIA)another life would be wasted become an organic fertilizer for the flowers.

    abduction? the guy was treated to dinner at Outback and then delivered to the La Salle Brothers. so anung problema? ni isang hibla ba ng kakaunting buhok ni Lozada e nasaktan? he can easily refuse to sign whatever documents that was presented to him. period. had his convictions been really strong, no amount of torture can make him sign.

    some will say that his family was being held hostage. if so where? dinukot din ba sila and tinutukan ng baril sa ulo – so that if hindi pumirma si Lozada e papatayin sila?

    i saw the surveillance video – e ginawa pa pala nyang alalay si Valeroso. so papaano siya dinukot? di man lang siya tumakbo. ganyan ba ang matapang?

  30. broadbandido broadbandido

    Appy G., kaya lang di sinaktan si Jun, dahil nga maingay na ang media. Sana ikaw na lang ang nasa kalagayan ni Lozada. Baka naihi ka na sa salawal.

  31. broadbandido broadbandido

    Halatang-halata namang pareho ng rason mo ang stand ng mga galamay ng dorobo.

    Happy Gilmore,

    Ang tunay na matapang, lumalaban kahit na takot.

    Bakit nga ba sumama lang si Jun Lozada sa mga pulis na dumukot sa kanya? Simple lang. Naalala niya ang nangyari sa kapatid niyang namatay sa kamay ng mga pulis, and given the propensity of this government to twist the truth, baka kung ano pang angulo ang palabasin if ever he tried to escape and got hurt or killed in the process. Gets?

    Why do you keep defending the indefensible?

  33. happy gilmore happy gilmore

    i do not defend any indefensible position.

    ayaw kong magpagamit – sa opposition man o sa administrasyon

    and its sad to think that the opposition is leading us into disarray if only to advance their own interests = meaning power and money.

    kung ako ang nasa pwesto ni Jun? i wouldnt be that dumb. i probably wouldve done the same thing as Neri.

    mahirap ang utak pulbura.

    anyone who has had held positions of leadership will agree that there are exists some truths that must be kept behind closed doors if the organization is to survive.

    Talagang mahirap ang utak pulbura iyan ang utak ng administrasyon laban sa mga militanteng naglalahad ng kabulukan ni GMA-AFP.

    Bayan mag ipon tayo ng pulbura dahil ang Palasyo ay nakatambak ang kanilang pulbura matagal ng pinulbura ang kaban ng bayan.

    and pag naupo na ang ipinag-pipitagang kapalit ng mga arroyo – nakasisiguro ka kayang hindi din magnanakaw ang mga yan?

    It is not enough to change the label of the bottle, let us start changing its contents.

    In the meanwhile durugin muna ang common enemy … ang mag asawang buwaya at kanilang kabig sa Palasyo.

    Mag aral matuto.. makibaka.!
