ZTE star witness Rodolfo Noel Lozada Jr. yesterday called on upright members of the Armed Forces and Philippine National Police to make a stand on the issue of corruption hounding the Arroyo administration.
In an interview at La Salle Greenhills, Lozada said the opposition should abandon its call for President Arroyo to resign. “She has to be ousted.”
Ang ganda ng rally noong Biyernes. Katulad ng sa lahat na pagtitipon, madamdamin ang pagkanta ng “Bayan Ko” sa katapusan kasi nandiyan pa sa Malacañang ang reyna ng kasinungalingan at katiwalian na sumisira sa ating demokrasya.
Sabi ng ni Renato Reyes ng Bayan, ibig sabihin lang noon, kulang pa ang ating pagsisigaw. Kaya dapat, sa susunod, mas marami at mas malakas ang ating sigaw.
Kahit pagod, masaya kaming umuwi. Ngunit nang nasa-sasakyan na ako, may tumawag kaming kaibigan at ipina-alam sa kin na apat sa mga staff members sa opisina ni Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV ay hinuli at dinala sa Southern Police District. Sila ay sina Dominador Rull, Romel Solis, Chito Cariño at Jerry Delfin.

Three out of four residents in Metro Manila distrust President Arroyo due to the controversial $329 million national broadband network deal with China’s ZTE Corp., the Feb. 21-24 survey of Pulse Asia showed.
The survey said two out of three Metro Manilans (65 percent) find Senate ZTE witness Rodolfo Noel Lozada Jr. credible.
Statement of Capt. Nicanor faeldon:
Hinahamon ko si Heneral Esperon at si Ginoong Razon! Kung tutoong ayaw ninyong babuyin ng mga pulitiko ang militar at ang pulisya, itigil ninyo ang pagpapagamit ikay Arroyo. Si Arroyo ay hindi ang gobyerno; ang mga lumalaban sa kanya ay hindi kaaway ng tao kundi kaaway ng mga magnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan.
Hinahamon ko kayong dadlawa: Kung tutoong propesyonal kayo at walang pinapanigan, humarap kayo sa Senado , na siyang kinakatawan ng tao, at isiwalat ang mga nalalaman ninyong katiwalian sa gobyerno.
Lawyer Argee Guevarra said the arrest of four members the staff of Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV by plainclothes men gives an idea how extra-judicial killings and involuntary disappearances happen.
Dominador Rull, Romel Solis, Chito Cariño and Jerry Delfin were about to board their vehicle on makati Avenue after attending the Interfaith rally in Makati last night when seven plainclothes men arrested them and forced them to board a van where two members of the Special Action Force, an elite anti-terror unit of the Philippine National Police were waiting for them.
