PNP 'hides' Lozada escort
Says family fears for ex-sarge's life
BY JAY CHUA
THE PNP Aviation Security Group has
placed SP04 Rodolfo Valeroso, a retired Army master
sergeant who escorted ZTE star witness Rodolfo Noel
Lozada Jr. upon his arrival from Hong Kong last Feb. 5,
in a "safehouse" for his safety.
Chief Supt. Atilano Morada, head of
the PNP Aviation Security Group, however, said Valeroso
is "not in hiding" and will "surface in due time."
Morada said Valeroso's family
expressed fears for his life after he was tagged as the
alleged abductor of Lozada.
THE Makati Business Club yesterday
called for the resignation of Environment Secretary Lito
Atienza and acting Commission on Higher Education chairman
Romulo Neri, saying they have lost their "moral authority"
to stay in their posts because of their involvement in
Malacañang's attempt to prevent Rodolfo Noel "Jun" Lozada
from appearing before the Senate inquiry into the national
broadband network scandal.
The MBC also expressed support for
planned mass actions calling for President Arroyo's ouster
but stopped short of calling for her resignation. Such
call is a major step that "the group is not prepared at
this time to take," said Alberto Lim, MBC executive
director.
The United Opposition and militant
groups on Monday announced plans for a series of mass
actions calling for Arroyo to resign.
AFTER issuing a stern warning against ZTE
star witness Rodolfo Noel Lozada Jr. "not to mess around with my
wife (Felicitas)," Sen. Joker Arroyo has chosen not to talk
about the matter.
"No, I don't want to talk about it, that is a
private matter," Arroyo said.
On Monday, Arroyo accused Lozada of being
selective of the people he wanted to talk to.
