Talaga namang nakakadismaya ang pagbasura ng Court of Appeals ng petisyon ni Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada, ang star witness sa NBN/ZTE deal, na mabigyan ng lunas ang kanayng seguridad na nanganib at patuloy na naganganib nang siya at tangkain na kidnapin ng mga galamay ng pmahalaan noog Feb. 5.
Hindi naman daw kinidnap si Lozada, sabi ni Justice Celia Librea-Leagogo na sinang-ayunan ni Justices Regalado Maambong at Sixto Marella, Jr.
Ngunit hindi nasorpresa si Lozada. Kami rin hindi nasopresa. Ang eskandalo na nangyari sa Court of Appeals tungkol sa GSIS at Meralco kung saan naglabasan ng baho ang ilan sa mga justices sa kasong bilyon-bilyon ang nakasalalay, ay katiting lang yun sa katiwalian na nagyayari sa ating hustisya.
Alalahanin nating ang nangyari noong Feb. 5: Dumating si Lozada sa Hongkong kung saan siya pinapunta para maka-iwas sa pagtestigo sa Senado tungkol sa NBN/ZTE kung saan lumabas na pinatungan ng $200 milyon (dolyar yan. Kaya sa pesos , sobra P9 bilyon) ang presyo ng proyeko na dapat ay $130 milyon lang. Kasama ang tongpats inabot ng $329 milyon ang pinirmahan na kontrata na sinaksihan pa ni Gloria Arroyo sa China.
Ang pera na gagastusin ng mga Intsik sa telecommunication project na yan ay ipapautang nila sa atin kaya babayaran natin yan, kasama ang tongpats na mapupunta sa mga bulsa ng mga galamay ni Arroyo. Isa na doon sana ay si dating Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos.
Si Lozada , na director ng Philippine Forest Corporation, ay tinawag ng Senado dahil malapit siya kay dating NEDA Director Romulo Neri at marami siya alam tungkol sa NBN/ZTE.
Takot talaga si Lozada magtestigo sa Senado dahil alam niya na magsisinungaling siya. Kung mgasasabi siya ng totoo, masisira si Arroyo at ang kanyang mga ka-alyado na mga kaibigan niya. Sinabi niya yun kay Environment Secretary Lito Atienza at kay dating Environment Secretary Mike Defensor. Sinabi rin yun kay Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita na siyang nagpadala ng P500,000 na pang-shopping niya sa Hongkong.
Pagbalik dito, yun na nga pinasundo siya. Mula airport,kinuha siya ng mga opisyal ng pulis, hindi siya pinadaan sa immigration at inabot pa sila sa Laguna. Mabuti lang na-alerto ang kanyang asawa na tumawag naman ng media.
Sabi ng CA, hindi naman siya pinwersa sumama sa mga pulis na sumundo sa kanya.Kung kinidnap siya, bakit daw hindi kinuha ang cellphone.
Sinabi ba ni Lozada na dalhin siya sa Laguna? Bakit nakarating sila doon?
Ngunit ang insidente na yun ang siyang nagbigay-liwanag kay Lozada at nagdesisyon siya na magsabi ng totoo tungkol sa alam niya sa NBN/ZTE. At sumali na si Lozada sa mga grupo na nagta-trabaho mahinto ang panloloko sa pamahalaan at nagta-trabaho na mapatalsik si Arroyo sa Malacañang.
What do you expect from an executive branch of government of idiots who know nothing better than to engage in monkey business?
Court of Appeals & Supreme Court justices? A big joke!
Baligtad na talaga ang hustisya sa Pilipinas. Ang alam ko, yung inaakusahan ng kidnapping ang magpapatunay na hindi siya nangidnap. Sa kaso ni Lozada, yung biktima pala ang dapat magpatunay na kinidnap siya.
Kung ganoon pala, bakit di pinayagan ng korte na ipatawag nila Atty. Fernandez at Lacierda (blogger-lawyer na sumusulat ng “The San Juan Gossip Mills”) ang mga pulis at sundalo bilang hostile witness para patunayan ang pangingidnap?
Nilansi ng huwes na ni Celia Leagago sina Lozada dahil ang paghingi ng seguridad ay para sa pagtigil ng patuloy na pananakot at nakaambang panganib sa buhay ni Lozada. Ang kidnapping ay naganap na. Ke totoo o hindi ang kidnapping, ang tanong ngayon na dapat sanang binigyang-diin ng korte ay:
Nasa panganib ba ang buhay ni Lozada o hindi? Yan lang dapat ang pinagtuunan ng pansin ng korte ni Leagago. Hindi ang kidnapping lang!
Malaking halaga ang presyo ng mga (in)justices, hindi nakapagtataka ang mga kababuyang desisyon nila. I bet they are naming their own price!
Kahapon lang may publicity gimmick pa ang CA kung saan may mga nakapaskel pa na slogan sa mga pader at nakabutones sa mga empleyado ng CA na: We shall overcome”. Tungkol ito sa kahihiyang idinulot ng Meralco-GSIS scandal na nangangamoy Mike Arroyo na naman. Pagbabangon-puri daw. Letse.
Kaya pala nagrereklamo ang kampo ni Rex Fernandez sa DOJ kahapon kung saan merong hearing ang isa sa 8 kaso ni Lozada. Winawagayway ng DOJ sa mukha nila yung desisyon ni Leagago ng CA samantalang hindi naman partido ang DOJ sa kasong iyon. Asar na asar si Fernandez dahil silang may petisyon sa kaso wala pang kopya.
Yan ba ang pagbabangon-puri? Mga ulol.

Why should CA signed a covenant? As Justices and government employees, they are obligated to maintain high ethical standards and serve the people. A covenant is just to confirm their incompetence and guilt.
Na Wan tu tri si Lozada.Sana humiga na lang siya at nagpakaladkad sa mg kumuha sa kanya para matibay ang ebedebsiya niya.
Kaya nga lagi itinuturo sa mga studyanti dito sa school,
Never talk and Never go with the stranger.
Huwag kang sumama sa hindi mo kilala.
Hindi natin masisisi ang huwes dahil malaki ang nakita nilang butas na lulusutan.Alam ng lahat pati ang buong mundo na kinidnap siya.Sabi nga ni Renato Pacifico nasaan ang ebedensiya? Hindi tinatangap sa hukuman ang haka-haka.
The fact is we already saw it coming. What do we expect anyway from the courts that according to Winston Garcia are the most corrupt at any point in time? That’s the same court of appeals that handed the decision and referred to by Garcia as the dirtiest court.
These justices are not that dumb or idiots or can pretend to be so but can not decide on the true merit of the case because they fear the ire of the evil queen and her partner in crime. What kind of justice then one can expect from these so called justices who wear robes but has no balls and guts to decide on what is right or wrong and only sits there to serve the interest of the few in exchange of some kind, never mind if truth are covered up with lies. It’s really sad and hard to accept but that is the reality. That is the Lutong Macao system of implementing justice.
There is a term for that kind of decision. The decision may be wrong for it contradicted laws and moral tenets and even the constitution otherwise chaos will ensue. That happened with Estrada. Now with Lozada.
The CA is hopeless. That covenant they signed is a publicity gimmick. It is nothing but hot air that stinks. The very few good justices in the CA also stinks, signing a covenant that says they will keep quite and not point fingers at heir co-justices doing evil makes them evil too. No need to demonize them, they are evil personified already. This corruption virus spreading in government is really virulent. The supreme court, court of appeals, RTCs, congress, senate, AFP, PNP, almost all government departments and bureaus have been infected by the virus gloriaticus coruptus. Now the CA and supreme court justices want us to believe that they will overcome the disease. Not in this administration.
No amount of covenants or public gimmicks can change the CA overnight or at all. If they want change, change the whole organization, get in new blood.
Matagal nang hindi humihinga ang Katotohanan at Hustisya sa Pinas!
Pinas Supreme Court and its tributaries cannot “overcome” for as long as the justices are expected by the Pidals to pay Gloria for their appointments to positions.
“All for Gloria Arroyo”, that should be the more appropriate motto of the Supreme Court.
Whistle blower CA justice sabio was meted a very light penalty for his unethical behavior as a lawyer and jurist. In fact, they would like it to appear that what sabio did was commendable. The gravity of his unethical acts should have merited dismissal. Here is Jun Lozada who has risk life and limb to expose the gravity of corruption in the NBN-ZTE scam by gloria and her cabal. Yet the same court of appeals is not able to discern the truth from lies. They even have the temerity to not hear the testimonies of the government side but assumed that it is the truth. This very same government functionaries who abducted Jun Lozada could not even get their stories right in their testimonies in the senate. Leagogo, Maambong and Marella are blinded by their subservience to gloria. We ordinary people are able to see through all these and condemn their despicable kind of justice.
For three hours, the mobile phone of Court of Appeals Justice Vicente Roxas kept on ringing but the magistrate was not in the mood to answer the call. It was the afternoon of May 30, and the corporate war between the Lopez group and the Government Insurance System had just reached the CA. A raffle held earlier in the day had picked Roxas as the ponente of the case.
The caller ID displayed the name of a ranking government official, who is known to Roxas. He then received a text message with clear instructions: for him to decide in favor of GSIS over the Meralco case. The instruction, the text said, was from the First Gentleman Miguel “Mike” Arroyo. The text said this was “for the Filipino people.
“I should have accepted the call,” Roxas said, with a tinge of regret and partly in jest.
We interviewed Roxas Monday afternoon and asked him to confirm a report we gathered that Mr. Arroyo tried to reach him when the Meralco case landed on his lap. He hedged at first, but related the attempts to reach him through his mobile phone.
If that is true, why not show the text messages to the SC justices?
“for the Filipino people”, my foot! Since when the Arroyo-Pidal became concerned about the people’s well-being?
Saan article galing yan BE?
Tongue, I personally interviewed Justice Roxas…he, he.
Kidding aside, I got it from here:

About time the NPA and its other derivatives come and CHANGE all our courts with theirs.
For the time being, we will call those courts, Supreme Kangaroo Court of the New Philippines, Kangaroo Appeals Court,
Kangaroo Lower Courts. All death penalties are only appealable after executions.
The CA justices might as well sign a Covenant with the Devil addressed to Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and attested by Mike Pidal.
The problem with Roxas, he has a notorious reputation.
Too bad, Roxas was even educated at Harvard and Georgetown.
HAY NAKU!!! DAPAT SA MGA JUSTICES PAGTATARGITIN SA NOO.
