"Wala na ba silang konsyensya?" Lozada and Arroyo at UST Mass for Truth.
Make a stand, Jun
calls on AFP, PNP "It's futile asking GMA to
resign'
BY ELLEN TORDESILLAS
ZTE star witness Rodolfo Noel Lozada Jr.
yesterday called on upright members of the Armed Forces and
Philippine National Police to make a stand on the issue of
corruption hounding the Arroyo administration.
In an interview at La Salle Greenhills,
Lozada said the opposition should abandon its call for President
Arroyo to resign. "She has to be ousted."
Lozada said given the arrogance of Arroyo and
her officials, "people must really be prepared to bring this
political crisis to a boil." He added that people should stop
deluding themselves that she will resign.
THE political opposition and various
anti-Arroyo groups are readying more mass actions to press for
President Arroyo's resignation, Adel Tamano, spokesman of the
United Opposition, said yesterday.
The protest actions are also meant for the
"truth" to come out in government's national broadband network
project whose price was allegedly bloated by payoffs and other
anomalies.
THE Church-based group Solidarity Philippines
yesterday dared Vice President Noli de Castro to declare his
stand on new allegations of corruption being hurled against
President Arroyo.
It is puzzling how De Castro manages to stay
quiet despite the enormity of the crisis being faced by the
country today, said Fr. Joe Dizon, Solidarity Philippines
convener.
"The people are looking for men and women of
integrity to lead this government. At mukhang yun ang problema
ni Noli... wala siyang tinitindigan sa ganitong kalaking
crisis," Dizon said.
