Bolante should face the charges levelled against him and explain the controversy behind the P728 million fertilizer scam.
***
Dapat isara na ni Bolante ang isyu ng fertilizer scam sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabi ng katotohanan. We are still giving him the benefit of the doubt. Let the Ombudsman and other courts do its work. Let him face the music. Let justice takes its natural course. There is a process to be followed. Let him be heard. We might not like him but that does not give us a reason to lynch him. I hope he will enlighten us.
*** Finally the Ombudsman has no more excuse nor alibi to continue to ignore the case, the return of Bolante has pushed the Ombudsman against the wall, they just had to get the case out of the cold storage. Problem is, everyone’s asking the same question, why only now?

How much of the P3B (anti-graft fund) went to the investigation of the ZTE scandal? If you talk about corruption, people want to hear about corruption in high places. Not just corruption in the barangay level. They are looking for the big fish that will be caught by the Ombudsman. It’s very disappointing.

The people will take this new development with a grain of salt, the court said he was not abducted, but Jun Lozada at that time feared for his life as he still does today. It's sad that the state cannot protect him from that fear as he continues to stand strong in his conviction to expose the most powerful people in thus land in the most hateful scam that stole a huge chunk of the people's money!
The abduction of Jun Lozada is only one piece of the story. Scam that involves a huge taxpayers money and the culpability of the powerful people who were caught with their hands in the cookie jar is a more interesting part of this saga even more worthy of our vigilance!
Jun Lozada is answerable only to himself, his God, and his country as far as credibility is concerned. Instead of losing credibility, the people will sympathize and feel one with Jun Lozada in the general sentiment that the very rich and powerful can get away with corruption!

The Citizens’ Battle Against Corruption (CIBAC) Party List welcomes the decision of the Supreme Court sacking CA Justice Roxas and penalizing four other justices for the Meralco case fiasco. It is a testament to the SC’s resolve to rid the judiciary of hoodlums in robe. But mere dismissal is not enough. Disbarment proceedings and criminal cases for corruption and forfeiture should also be pursued. We must make sure that corruption is stomped our wherever and whenever it rears its ugly head.

I am disappointed with the SC for the decision of the Supreme Court affirming its earlier decision placing the conversation between former NEDA Secretary Neri and Mrs. Arroyo under the protective mantle of executive privilege and exempting Neri from answering further queries from the Senate. For a Supreme Court that has been at the forefront of human rights protection and legal innovations, the decision is truly surprising, the public interest involved was proven to have far outweighed the privilege. It is hard to accept that the nine (9) members of the SC who affirmed the decision failed to see it. The decision sends the message that transparency and accountability can be easily swept aside. With that SC decision, I’m afraid Mrs. Arroyo may even appoint Jocjoc Bolante to a Cabinet post even before he gets deported back here. Goodbye transparency and accountability!
