Is the Fortress in control of this country or are there renegade officials under its wing?
When star witness turned chicken Rodoldo Lozada Jr. arrived from Hong Kong yesterday, he was taken by some people, one of which was later known to be a policeman. Lozada’s family, including his wife, were super worried, though according to Romy Neri (another chicken) Lozada was able to call him and said he was OK.
All eyes are on the Fortress, who quickly denied any knowledge of Lozada’s whereabout. Well, the Fortress should have asked Mamang Pulis TSIP himself. PNP’s Director General, Avelino Razon Jr., admits that Lozada is under PNP’s custody. Razon did not disclose where he is right now, but says that Lozada had requested for security.
Razon and the Fortress have a lot of explaining to do. First, they should get a good scriptwriter. Their lies are so obvious. If Lozada had requested for security, shouldn’t he have informed his family first? He could call Neri but not his wife?
Second, Razon claims that a brother of Lozada had also requested the PNP to provide the chicken some security. Then how come this brother has not surfaced to tell that? His siblings and his sister-in-law are all worried, and he won’t tell them?
Third, Razon inadvertently admitted that they had impeded the Senate’s arrest warrant against Lozada. Yay. The Senate should now summon Razon and cite him in contempt. But who am I kidding?
Anyway, the fact speaks for itself. The PNP is operating without the knowledge of the Fortress. Yay, renegade police. Or the Fortress has lied, again. Take your pick.
UPDATE:
The ABS-CBN report linked above states that Lozada has met his family according to Razon. How come his wife is going to the Supreme Court to file for a writ of habeas corpus? (The petition has been filed since lunch time, rendering Razon’s claims as lies. Unless Lozada has another family, of course.)Senator Panfilo Lacson scores the PNP for brazen lying. I agree.
The Senate intends to file obstruction of justice against airport officials. I suggest they include the PNP in such a case.
Hello Sir!
I’m hope you still remember me…The Purple Phoenix. Whew. I took a long vacation from blogging. I’m back and I have a new post 🙂
Anyway, my dormmate is an acquaintance of the Lozada’s nephew. She contacted her last night, asking for advice regarding Lozada’s situation. My dormmate thought that I could help since I’m part of Team Chiz. But then, we all know how Malacanang ignores their co-equal branch 🙁
They were really worried how Lozada disappeared upon arriving. They don’t know where he went. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was – you know – kidnapped.
Some people will go to any lengths just to cover up their dirty tracks.

Hi, Jowana, welcome back. Well, it is now clear that the PNP has Lozada in custody. Custody=kidnapped?
Custody = kidnapped?
Pwede. Under this administration, suffrage also means cheating 🙂

And because you are against this regime, you are a destabilizer.
They forgot to write a proper script. Now they’re stuck in dangerous situation. This may just be the break we all are waiting for. I am sure that with all the hoopla the people will not take it lightly. Imagine, had they held their horses, this issue could have been swept under the rug. Now it has become a gargantuan issue that is just too difficult to hide. Gloria and her gang just painted themselves to a corner. Hahahaha!

schumey just made an interesting point.
putting on my machiavellian hat, i think the fortress can very well see this as an opportunity to weed out its hidden enemies in preparation for the consolidation of power.
sun tzu recommended that an enemy always be given a line of retreat, for an army with no place to go will fight twice as hard, armed as he is with the courage of men with nothing to lose.
(aside to the phoenix: the house of reprehensibles, to paraphrase mlq3’s take on lakas and kampi, is now a satellite office of fortress pasig, not really a co-equal branch.)

Nah, I think nothing will happen out of it. This regime has been lying since hell knows when, and most of the people are so used to the lies they believe them as gospel truth!
Just look what Liar Liar Bunye and Atienza did this lunch. Their moms must be proud of their sons.
Atty. Punzi quoted Sun Tzu, too. Hmm.
MLQ3 is wrong. The House of Reprehensibles have been a satellite office of the Fortress since 2005!
jester-in-exile: ideally, co-equal. ideally, speaking lang 🙂
Sir Arbet,
Close encounters with Norgales…wala akong close encounter sa kanya bilang burlesk king :)Nanalo si Nogi sa kinasong niyang libel dun sa reporter na nagsulat ng article na yun.

Yep, and currently nakakulong yung wawang tao. And don’t even wish of a Burles King encounter, that would be horrid and horrible!
And suddenly this melodrama involving the NBN-ZTE deal gets interesting. A convoluted mess of conspiracies?! This may not be simply a good vs. bad guys situation. Some are in different shades of gray. Hmmmm…

The challenge for us is to discern the grain from the chaff.
they seemed consistent… the senate looked really stupid yesterday though… Lozada looks like a man suffering from paranoia… I believe that it was not a kidnap case but a misunderstanding which Lozada humbly admitted that… he was just paranoid..
