Revolted by Sen. Arroyo
About your news item about the ZTE Senate
hearings (“Lozada fears Abalos men,” Tuesday, Feb. 12), allow me
to say that Sen. Joker Arroyo revolted me when he suddenly lashed at
Lozada and shouted “Don’t mess around with my wife.”
Arroyo had accused Lozada of only talking to
opposition people. This required Lozada, apparently an admirer of
Arroyo until that moment, to disprove the senator’s accusation by
citing other people he was talking to— including Joker Arroyo’s
wife and columnist Tony Abaya.
Lozada was talking not only to ABS-CBN but also
GMA TV and other media. But the latter do not give the ZTE hearings
as much airtime as ABS-CBN’s Channel 2 and ANC cable channel
laudably do.
Arroyo should not accuse Lozada of
“besmirching every Tom, Dick and Harry” and his wife. It
is the Arroyo administration’s people who have besmirched
themselves by their corruption, their untruthfulness and their
kidnapping and demonization of Lozada.
I recall how Arroyo and his gang of so-called
nationalists in the Cory Aquino administration opposed the able and
patriotic Finance Secretary Jaime V. Ongpin. Does he?
