Manila Times: Police arrest Jun Lozada
Whistleblower Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada Jr. was arrested on Wednesday on perjury charges and detained at the Manila Police District (MPD) headquarters after refusing to post the P6,000 bail for his temporary liberty.
The Ombudsman was asked also on Wednesday by leaders of Kaya Natin!, a national movement for good governance and ethical leadership, to “act swiftly and with impartiality in prosecuting those who have taken part in this [broadband] scandal.”
“It is very disheartening to see that the person who risked his and his family’s life to tell the truth about this controversial government transaction is now being branded as a liar. More disheartening is the fact that those who perpetuated this anomalous transaction have not been held accountable for their actions thus, denying Filipinos the justice that they deserve,” Kaya Natin! said in a statement.
