Jun Lozada? A Filipino Hero?

-

The issue on the ZTE scandal has long been banging in the TV screen, and many have made conclusions of their own, basing on their knowledge and judgement of the on going events, and I myself have made my conclusion regarding this issue, but still, i respect each good and bad side of the situation, analysis on the matter is always important in making correct conclusions.

Yes, I honestly find Lozada as a credible witness, there is nothing argue about it, he is spilling out the anomaly of his own workplace, this itslef makes him as a VERY credible witness of this issue, but i am having problems though to the fact of calling him a FILIPINO HERO, thus relating him to our great heroes, such as; Jose Rizal, Ninoy Aquino, etc. for me, his level of sacrifice is incomparable to other heroes, though i respect the fact that his sacrifice benefits the country, we too must think first, why would a guy, living a wealthy and safe life turn himself to the other side, giving up pleasure, luxuries, and security and having a life full of complexities? not unless you are so dang crazy, could you decide to do such a thing! From that question, i have traced up all the happenings since Lozada spilled the news, and basing on my analysis, i can see that Lozada never intended to turn against the government, to turn against his means of income, to turn against the very thing that grants him life at it’s fullest! so why did he do it? but of course! as what he said, he was about to be killed! that is why! he was trapped within the situation, life and death, he has a wife! kids! relatives! that! that is why, he never wanted to spill the anomalies, he was forced to do so just for his safety, for his life, for his family, come to think of it, if he did not do it, he could have been a dead guy now.

Summarizing all, this so-called heroic act of Lozada is not intended for the benefit of Filipinos.. it is for HIS.. this was an accidental Heroic act, an accidental spill of the truth, a forced spill of the anomalies of the government.

But then again, i respect him as a credible witness, but not as a Filipino Hero. :)

  1. I agree with you. Lozada is a “good” witness but I can’t call him as hero. I believe Lozada’s cause but I won’t believe all he said like blind follower. I still respect those who believe he is a hero.

  2. definitely . well said. :)
