Bored as I was in the office (I'm just in Makati since there were no scheduled press conferences for my ever wonderful and literally wide beat), I decided I shouldn't put my hours to waste.Luck was on my side and it had been quite easy to arrange an interview with NBN-ZTE star witness Rodolfo "Jun" Lozada. I formed my own trail and eventually got his ever-secret number. I called him up but he was not answering. About ten seconds after I gave up, he returned my call and simply said Yes, he was willing to grant an interview regarding his reax on the recent SC ruling that Neri had the right to invoke executive privilege. He told me to meet him at **** around **:** pm.
When I arrived at the area, his bodyguards were very nice although they asked for every possible identification card I could present. And since I was alone (no cameraman, no co-reporter around) it was scary and exciting, as usual, for me.
When he came into the room, he greeted me with a welcoming beam. I told him it was fun to meet him up close, although I've covered him--with several guards and nuns and dozens of other reporters--several times in the past already.
We talked for over an hour and boy, it was a pity the ZTE mess had to end up this way. I hope it isn't really over though. Everyone wants to find out the truth.
And I believe in the guy.
Anyway, I just want to mark this day. hehe :) Have to do my story for now. Thanks for taking time to read. :)

ReplyDeletethere's a sinner in everyone of us. what's important is we rectify what we've done wrong.
ReplyDelete--quote ni jlo. :p
rectify for whom? for the country or to further protect his friends? the behind the scenes tells a different story.. another side to his 'rectification'...
ReplyDeleteand that my friend, you will have to find out..and once you know, you will understand..
it's not a matter of me being in the government..hell, sometimes i just close my eyes... it's just sometimes you have to get the whole picture.. i'm not saying that walang ginawang masama si pgma sa zte deal.. i'm just saying na don't let yourself be caught in all the moral glitter...
