Joey de Venecia had just narrated the threats on his life when — wham! — another startler leapt from the ZTE thriller. Malacañang thugs in broad daylight snatched witness Jun Lozada to prevent him from talking at the Senate. Indications are the admin will stop at nothing to stifle evidence and testimony of $200-million (P10-billion) overpricing in the $330-million deal. It not only will depose a long-time political ally like the Speaker, but even kidnap.
Aba’y baliktad na talaga ang mundo. Masdan ang Department of Justice, sa pagsigaw ni Lozada na kinid-nap siya ng mga di-kilalang armadong lalaki sa airport nang umuwi nu’ng Feb. 5. Ihahabla raw siya ng DOJ ng perjury (pagbubulaan habang nakasumpa) dahil pina niniwalaan nito ang bulol-bulol na kuwento nina Gen. Angel Atutubo at Col. Paul Mascariñas na inikot lang nila sa Laguna si Lozada bilang pag-secure sa kanya.
