Message to Lozada: Stop political show and just pay the 6,000


Note:


The Association of Major Religious Superiors of the Philippines (AMRSP) raised a total of 100 Million pesos from the contributions of the religious communities -- the largest contributor was the Religious of the Virgin Mary -- for Lozada's sanctuary fund.

The purpose of the fund was, among other things, for the legal expenses of Lozada.



WE AGREE WITH Rep. Marcelino Teodoro of Marikina who said that the refusal of Lozada to post bail is just for a political show.

“There is definitely no need for Lozada’s recognizance by the Senate even if stated in Article 3 of the Bill of Rights, simply because the bail is not that much and to stay in the Senate will only be a futile exercise,” he said.

“What significant conditions can the Senate do for Lozada but only a possible grandstanding on the issue? As lawmakers, we should perform our duties and upheld the mandate of the people and that is to legislate laws for the betterment of Filipinos,” Teodoro said.

He stressed that Lozada could post the P6,000 bail for his freedom as he is accused of perjury stemming from his alleged conflicting statements to the Senate and the Court of Appeals in his testimony on the ZTE broadband controversy.

Sec. Mike Defensor actually offered to pay the bail, because Mike does not want him to be imprisoned. Mike simply wants Lozada to tell the truth --- that Mike is not a kidnapper!!!!


Actually, we the UPIS friends of Mike can post the bail anytime. But we know of course that Jun Lozada (and his ilk, Sr. Mary John Mananzan) wanted to dramatize the whole thing.

After all, Lozada's popularity is down to zero and the church does not want to waste the 100 million on a failed campaign.

JUST IMAGINE IF THOSE 100MILLION WENT TO FUND POVERTY ALLEVIATION.

And they call this the CHURCH OF THE POOR???

    Mike has always been dear to us since we were kids. He’s a good friend who came running when we needed him. Mike was the go-to guy even before he became Cong. Mike, and then Sec. Defensor. Many of us knew he was destined for public service. Mike was the consummate politician, a trait he developed since grade school. We thought he would go on to become president, if he didn’t disappoint the fickle Filipino public.

    But it seems he has. So much so that he is vilified by the media at every opportunity. His actions are always placed within the perspective of his relationship with an unpopular president. Justifiable, though harsh.

    So we set up this blog. Some of us have worked with him and have seen him make what we thought were good decisions. But some of us were also there when we thought he made wrong ones. But that is how a man is made -- by the choices he makes.

    As his friends, the best we can do is stand by him and try to help everyone else see things from a different light.
