Carol Pagaduan-Araullo | Lozada: More than an Accidental Hero
Engineer Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada is an accidental hero but a hero nonetheless to a people starved for real-life, modern-day heroes. Would it not be an irony of the most triumphant kind if this latest attempt to silence Jun Lozada, to break his will and to isolate him, should in fact turn into an outpouring of…
Kalayaan, Midya at si Jun Lozada
Kung ang midya ay patuloy na nakakapanayam si Lozada, hindi ito nangangahulugang may tunay na demokrasya sa ating bansa.

Systematic Suppression
The Arroyo administration seems bent on trying every trick in the bag just to undermine Engr. Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada, star witness at the Senate investigations on the controversial National Broadband Network project. First he was sent off to Hong Kong just as he was set to appear before the Senate, then he was abducted upon…
Baguio, Benguet Lawyers’ Groups Support Lozada; Call for Graft Charges vs. Corrupt Gov’t Officials
