RE POST:Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada Jr. » What Neri Is Too Afraid to Tell the Public,and Why

Ni re-post ko mula sa Pinoypress

Editor’s note: Vicente “Enteng” Romano III of the Black and White Movement, who is a close friend of ZTE-NBN whistleblower Rodolfo “Jun”Lozada Jr., emailed the following article to the media today, Feb. 10. In his note accompanying the article, Romano said Lozada wrote this piece sometime in October.

“He wanted me to disseminate it without attribution,” Romano wrote. “I believe he was motivated both by his genuine concern for a beleaguered friend who was being maligned no end, and his desire, even then, for the truth to somehow surface. He left it up to me as to how and when to disseminate it.”

Romano added that he did not find “any compelling reason to get it out then. But now that Jun has told it all, and Neri is being invited back to testify, I believe the public deserves to know what was (and maybe still is) in the mind of Neri – at least from the point of view of a friend. I’m sure Jun will not mind.”

Romano ended his note by saying, “Let’s get this out in the open.”

Romano said the piece can now be published with attribution to Lozada. PinoyPress is publishing it unedited.

By Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada Jr.

Many speculations have been made as to what Neri knows about the ZTE-NBN most particularly the direct involvement of Pres. Gloria Arroyo in this abominable affair. After his damaging “Sec. May 200 ka dito” demolition of Abalos, the discredited former Comelec Chairman, many were left disappointed when Neri suddenly clamped up when the Senators started asking him about the nature of his conversation with Arroyo, no amount of coaxing, cajoling and threats was enough to break his Code of Omerta. The question on many people’s mind was, What was Neri trying to protect when he repeatedly invoked “Executive Priviledge” during that gruelling 12 hour Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing on live television?

We have known the Truth all along as one of the few people that Neri confided his predicament during those fateful days of April 2006, and how he wanted to resign his post of NEDA Director General and Secretary for Socio-Economic Planning over this incident where he lost all his moral respect for Pres. Gloria Arroyo.

We are doing this document to give the public an understanding of this predicament.

What is Neri afraid to tell the public? He is afraid to tell the public that after he reported the Abalos P200 million peso bribe offer, Arroyo casually told him to ignore it and work for its recommendation for approval anyway. That when he protested that it is too controversial and may attract the wrong kind of attention from media, Arroyo retorted back “Pakulo lang ni Joey yan and his father”. When he tried to reason that it may not be accommodated in the Chinese ODA package because it has been filled up with a list of projects already, Arroyo again ordered him to remove the low cost housing project and some water project to accommodate the ZTE-NBN deal in the ODA loan. That when he attempted to reason that it may not be approved in time for the Boao Forum which was only two days to go from that fateful April day, Arroyo with raised voice told him to include the ZTE-NBN project in the agenda of the following day’s meeting of a combined NEDA Board and Cabinet Committee, who as expected promptly approved the project paving the way for the contract signing between ZTE and DOTC in China the next day. Neri is afraid to tell the public that this conversation took place between him and Arroyo because it might spark another impeachment complaint against Arroyo.

Why is Neri afraid to tell the public about this conversation with Arroyo? He is afraid that another impeachment will simply result to more expenses of public funds similar to the Hyatt 10 impeachment crisis, because as DBM Secretary who replaced Boncodin, he was entrusted with the large scale DBM payola operation of Arroyo to Congressmen, Senators and Governors not quite similar to the crude Panlilio incident that the public is witnessing now. He is afraid with a more partisan Andaya at the helm of DBM, more public funds will be spent to buy the silence and favour of these greedy legislators and local executives.

He is afraid that with Arroyo’s firm control of public funds she can buy all the necessary support from most sectors of society to keep her in power.

He is afraid that even if the opposition knows about this conversation with Arroyo, he is afraid that the opposition will not pursue a serious impeachment proceedings against Arroyo, because it is not to their political interest that Noli de Castro becomes President in case Arroyo is impeached and becomes a more formidable political opponent in 2010. This insincere and unpatriotic goal of the opposition is already being manifested by the malicious speed that the Erap pardon is being cooked by Ronnie Puno together with the Erap camp to hastily put a united front of “Birds of the same corrupt feather” coalition against the emerging JDV led political opposition.

He is afraid that even if the Church knows the truth about Arroyo’s direct involvement in the ZTE-NBN deal, the Church will still not call for her resignation due to the closeness of Arroyo’s trusted lady liason to the Cardinal of Manila who was very effective during the “Hello Garci” crisis. That Arroyo’s Religious Affairs Operators have the Bishops firmly in their “donation” graces, as again manifested by the quick rebuttal of the Mindanao Bishops’ of the call of their fellow bishops in Luzon who where calling for the resignation of Arroyo just after Arroyo gave them a visit in Mindanao.

He is afraid that even if the military knows the truth about Arroyo’s direct involvement in the fraudulent ZTE-NBN deal, the AFP brass is much to indebted to Arroyo for their position and the perks that goes with their position, that they have demonstrated this twisted loyalty with their willingness to detain, remove from the service and even shoot their own men for voicing out their legitimate concerns regarding the corruption and moral authority of their Commander in Chief. It is a sad spectacle to see the respected warriors of the Marines & Special Forces rot in jail with their ideals, while their men are dying even without receiving the measly P150 per day combat pay that was promised to them by Arroyo due to lack of funds & generals gets a gift bag similar to those given to the governors and congressmen just for having dinner with Arroyo the day after that infamous breakfast & lunch meeting where bribe money flowed scandalously free.

He is afraid that even if the Media knows the truth about Arroyo’s direct involvement in the ZTE-NBN scam, Media will simply wither in the torrents of cash and favors similar to how the Hyatt 10, Hello Garci crisis were killed in the media headlines and Radio& TV coverages. Although he believes in the integrity of a handful of Journalist, he believes that a handful of these mavericks cannot withstand the hordes of paid lackeys of Malacanang. Especially that the Arroyo crisis team is now being handled by the best mercenary money can buy, from Ramos Sulo Operation, Erap’s DILG and now Arroyo’s troubleshooter, Ronnie Puno. Ably supported by the Media and PR money from PAGCOR being handled by Cerge Remonte to buy positive airtime, headlines and editorials.

He is afraid that even if the Business Sector knows about the truth of Arroyo’s direct involvement to defraud the coffers of the taxes they are paying, the businessmen will be reluctant to rock the boat of the current economic uptrend, especially with the very close personal and business relationship of the so called leaders of the big business like Ricky Razon of ICTSI, Donald Dee of PCCI and Francis Chua of the Filipino-Chinese Federation to Arroyo herself. He is afraid that the hard earned remittances of Filipino OFWs that is keeping the economy booming and that can keep the economy afloat even under any administration is being wasted under this unholy alliance of Arroyo and her favoured businessmen.

He is afraid that even if the Civil Society knows the truth about Arroyo’s direct involvement in the ZTE-NBN deal, that the Civil Society is now tired of mass actions after witnessing two failed EDSA revolutions, that Civil Society is now afflicted with a “Rally Fatigue” and cannot muster enough public outrage to denounce Arroyo’s “corruption with impunity”. He is afraid that the middle class is now indifferent to the corruption that goes around them, not realising that the middle class are the ones mainly carrying the burden of the loan payments for these corrupt deals. He is afraid that the middle class are more interested to become an OFW & to leave this country leaving their family and children behind, and may not care anymore about the crimes being committed against their country by its own President.

He is afraid that even if the Masa, the students, the workers knows the truth about Arroyo’s direct involvement in the ZTE-NBN deal to steal precious resources from public funds, that they are now too poor and impoverished to be able to afford the time to join mass actions against the abuses of the Arroyo administration, that these former vanguards of mass actions in the country are now completely dependent on financial resources of professional organizers and have turned themselves into a “Rally for hire” groups rather than a true and genuine political gathering shouting for reforms.

He is afraid that the public may not know the extent of corruption in this country and may wrongly believe that they can cure corruption by simply replacing Arroyo with another person. He is afraid that the public may overlook the systemic and institutionalized nature of the source of corruption in this country, he is afraid that the people will again opt for a regime change without concern or a plan to correct the root causes of corruption in the country. He is afraid that people may not realize that it is not bringing Arroyo down that is difficult, it is establishing a new order that is the difficult task.

This is the predicament of Neri which I want people to realize especially to those who are asking Neri to tell the truth. #

Ilang puntong dapat linawin bago ideklarang 'bayani' si Rodolfo Noel 'Jun' Lozada

Ito ang pamagat ng artikulo na nabasa ko sa pahayagang "BULGAR" full-page ads mula sa Kongressp ng Mamamayan.... Ang Ads na ito ay tinaggihan ng pahayagang "ABANTE" at ito ang kanilang paliwanag:

Isang patalastas ang sinadyang tanggihan kahapon ng pahayagang ito (ABANTE) dahil sa mapanirang nilalaman laban kay Lozada. Pinalilitaw na ito’y manifesto ng isang grupong nagpakilala lamang na “Kongreso ng Mamamayan”.

Bineripika namin kung sino ang mga bumubuo ng grupong ito. Kung saan ang kanilang tanggapan. Kung ilan ang kasapian nila. Hinanapan din namin ng ‘signatories’ ang manifesto. Kahit ilang pangalan lang, tirahan nila at lagda. Kailangan namin ng patunay na mga lehitimong mamamayang Filipino, taxpayers at mga kababayang naghahanap ng ‘venue’ ng kanilang boses sa gitna ng broadband deal controversy ang tunay na nasa likod ng ‘paid ads’ na ito, ngunit walang mailatag na mga pangalan ang pinagmulan ng anunsyo. Gusto naming maging patas sa lahat ng sektor ng lipunan at handa kaming bigyan sila ng patas na espasyo sa pahayagang ito. Ang kailangan lang ay lumantad sila at ‘wag silang magtago sa isang ‘collective name’ na Kongreso ng Mamamayan.

Bago pa ito, kung pagmamasdan ang headlines ng nakakaraming tabloid kahapon, mapapansing kontra-Lozada ang mga ito o kaya ay nakakiling sa panig ng government officials na dumalo sa Monday hearing sa Senado. Isa lang ang Abante at Abante Tonite sa iilang tabloid na buong tapang na naglatag ng aktuwal na mga pangyayari at kumuha ng pulso ng taumbayan upang maiwasan ang anumang pagkiling saanmang panig. Mas pinili naming opinyon ng tao kaysa ng mga pulitiko ang iulat.

Kaya nga sa paglalabasan ng anti-Lozada news items at ng bayad na anunsyong nasa anyo ng manifesto, hindi maiwasang bumalik sa aming memorya ang mga kataga diumano ni Defensor kay Lozada na, “tatrabahuhin na lang namin sa media ‘yan.”

Wala kami sa posisyon para humusga. Kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng mga salitang ito at kung mayroon ngang mga taga-media ang ‘natrabaho’, kayo na ang humusga, bayan!

at ito ang nilalaman ng FULL-PAGE ADS:

Madrama at makulay ang Testimonya ni Rodolfo Noel "Jun" Lozada kamakailan sa Senado. Naroong, naluluha siya, at minsan ay napapatawa. Ngunit liban dito, kung sustansya ng kanyang testimonya ang pag-uusapan, walang bagong sinabi si Lozada na makakadagdag sa mga nasabi na sa halos isang taong imbestigasyon ng Senado kaugnay sa isyu. Sa husgado, tiyak na ibabasura lamang ang kanyang mga sinabi dahil sa kawalan ng matibay ebidensiya.

*Sigurado na agad sila na ibabasura ang testimonya ni Lozada sa husgado noh?? tsk tsk.. teka nga.. sino nga ba ang secretary ng DOJ?? ahhh kaya pala sigurado na sila.. sigurado nga yon!!

Ang kakatwa nito, malamang na si Lozada pa ang makasuhan dahil sa mga inamin niyang anomalyang ginawa niya bilang pangulo ng Philippine Forest Corporation(PFC). Inaanyayahan namin ang bayan na limiin ang mga puntong sumusunod bago ideklara ng mga senador na bayani si Lozada:

*Sige, pipilitin kong limiin ang mga puntong iyong ibibigay at lalagyan ko na din ng komento para mas nakakalibang.

1. Ano ba ang Papel ni Lozada sa ZTE deal? Bakit siya nakikialam dito?

Ayon sa kanya siya ay isang consultant ni Secretary Romulo Neri at wala siyang sweldo liban sa ilang libreng pananghalian at hapunan. Ayon sa pahayag ni Neri, minsan lamang niya isinama si Lozada sa isang pagpupulong kaugnay sa proyekto, Ngunit ayon kay Lozada, maraming beses siyang nakikipag usap sa mga partido kaugnay sa proyekto, kabilang sina Abalos, Joey de Venecia at mga Opisyal ng ZTE.

* Bakit kasi di nyo pagsalitain si Neri sa Senado?? just askin.. ^_^

Awtorisado man o hindiang pakikialam niya sa proyekto dahil umano sa utos ni Neri "to moderate the greed" (bawasan ang kaswapangan) malinaw na pagiging isang fixer ang papel ni Lozada sa proyekto. Bagaman tumatawad siya upang ibaba umano ang komisyon sa proyekto mula $130M pababa sa $65M, malinaw na ang intensyon niya ay ang makabahagi sa sa komisyon. Para sa kanya ang patong o overprice na $130M ay "bubukol" pero katanggap-tanggap ang overprice na $65M o mahigit sa P3.5B. Ayon sa kanya, ang $130M ay nasa "forbidden zone" at ang $65M ay nasa "permissible zone". Para sa kanya, pwedeng nakawan ang bayan , basta huwag lang lalagpas sa $65M o P3.5B. Anong uring moralidad mayroon si Lozada? Katanggap-tanggap kaya sa mga pari at madre na nagkanlong sa kanya ang ganitong katwiran at moralidad?

Si Lozada, batay sa kanyang pag-amin, ay isang big-time fixer sa ZTE deal. Hindi malinis ang kanyang mga kamay nang nagpakanlong siya sa mga pari at madre at nang tumestigo siya sa senado.

*Nauna mo na ngang binanggit na siya ay tauhan lamang ni Secretary Neri, na napag utusan na bawasan ang kaswapangan kung naiintindihan mong maigi ang konteksto, sinabihan lang siya na bawasan hindi siya inutusan na tanggalin.. Siya ay sumunod lang sa utos, tulad ng kung pano mo sinunod ang utos ng AMO mo na magsulat ng ganitong lathalain upang baluktutin ang sitwasyon.

2. Hindi maaaring maging santo ang isang demonyo sa isang iglap na pagsisisi. Sa katunayan, hindi inamin ni Lozada ang kanyang katiwalian bilang pangulo ng PFC kung hindi siya binuko ni Sen. Miriam Santiago. Lumalabas na hayagan niyang binabastos ang batas at mga proseso sa kanyang opisina sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay kontrata, mga negosyo at mga lupain sa kanyang sarili, sa kanyang asawa at mga kapatid, mga kaanak, at pati na mga katulong na ginawa niyang dummy upang makakuha ng tig 5 ektarya sa PFC. Wala siyang karapatan, kung gayon na magsalita ukol sa tinatawag niyang "dysfunctional procurement system" ng gobyerno dahil pinangungunahan niya ito.

*May punto ka diyan, naalala ko tuloy si MR. Chavit Singson... di na pala kapanipaniwala ngayon ang may bahid ng korupsyon?? buti nalang nung panahon ni ERAP katanggap tanggap ang mga ganung testigo. Paano ka kaya makapag bubunyag ng isang malaking korupsyon kung hindi ka kabahagi dito? haaayy.. sige ilihis mo pa.. naaliw pa ako. ^_^

3. Ayon kay lozada, nahimasmasan siya umano ng nakausap niya ang isang magsasaka sa Negros kung saan maraming namumungang bayabas sa kapaligiran. Tinanong niya umano ang magsasaka kung bakit hindi nila ibenta sa bayan ang bayabas, at sinagot siyang hayaan na lamang na kainin ito ng mga ibon. Naisip umano niya kung bakit ang mahihirap ay iniisip pang pakainin ang mga ibon, gayong ang mayayaman ay nagpapasasa para lamang sa kanilang sarili. Madrama ang kanyang pagkakasalaysay sa pangyayaring ito na umano'y nagbukas sa kanyang isip. Napaiyak pa siya.

Ang hindi sinabi ni Lozada ay kung bakit naroroon sya sa Negros sa oras na iyon. Ayon sa kanyang mga empleyado mismo, naroon si Lozada sa Negros noon upang ipamigay sa iisang maimpluwensyang pamilya lamang ang 10,000 ektaryang lupain, kaysa mga naghihirap na karaniwang magsasaka. Hindi niya sinabi sa senado kung pinagsisisihan niya ito.

*Sa totoo lang muntik na ako maluha nung ikinwento niya iyan, siguro.. dahil sa madalas talaga akong maluha pag bayabas na ang pinag uusapan. Dapat niya ba talagang sabihin sa senado kung anu-anung bagay ang pinagsisisihan niya?? magkaiba naman siguro ang pagtestigo sa pagkukumpisal.. ^_^

4. Sa tulong ni Sen. Chiz Escudero, tinangka ni Lozada na pagtakpan ang mga kanyang anomalya(this typo is from the author) sa PFC, dahil maliit lang naman daw ito kumpara sa ZTE deal. Kung natuloy kaya ZTE deal, maliit din lamang kaya ang magiging komisyon ni Lozada?

* Hahahaha,, pinatawa ako ng artikulo na ito, bukod syempre sa typographical error. Inamin mo na may komisyon talaga sa ZTE deal, hindi na nga natuloy yung deal na yan nagkapera pa ang iilan..

5. Sa pagdinig sa Senado noong Pebrero 11, 2008, lumabas na nakipag usap na si Lozada kina Panfilo Lacson at Jamby Madrigal, mga pangunahing kritiko ng administrasyon, mula pa noong disyembre, tanda na may bahid pulitika at nakaplano ang kanyang paglabas.

* Alangan naman sa Kalaban siya lumapit?? may nagbabanta sa buhay niya na nagmumula sa administrasyon, napakatalino mo naman kung lalapit ka at hihingi ng tulong sa kalaban mo.. (pero ayon kay lozada ay nakausap niya si Atty. Fely Arroyo ang butihing may bahay ni Sen. Joker at inabisuhan siyang huwag ng magsalita dahil lilipas din naman...

6. Ang ZTE deal ay kinansela na ng Pangulo, at nag-utos na rin siya na imbestigahan ito at ihabla ang sinumang sangkot dito. Dahil hindi natuloy, walang nawala sa gobyerno, bagaman nawalan marahil ang mga nagpaunang bayad ng komisyon sa kung sinumang broker at fixer ng proyekto. Sa kabilang banda, nawalan ang gobyerno at mamamayan sa mga anomalyang ginawa ni Lozada bilang pangulo ng PFC.

* Ayun na eh, kinansela ang proyekto dahil may nasilip na butas, base sa pagkakaalam ko eh utang parin natin ang paunang bayad mula China, dahil loan based ang proyekto. Kaya matapos makakuha ng KOMISYON ay nag resign si KOMISYONER.

Tandaan na ang inyong nabasang ADS ay bayad.. malamang ang bayad ay galing sa gobyerno... ang blog ko eh libre lang.. biruin mo nailathala ang PAID ADS nila sa BLOG ko.. nakaMURA sila... hahaha.. Put@#$%^&!!!
