UP SOLAIR Student Council Supports Rodolfo Lozada Jr.

ANTO COMETA

It's Our Time

The UP School of Labor and Industrial Relations Student Council would like to support Rodolfo Lozada Jr. in his desire to reveal to the public the truth behind the controversial “NBN-ZTE” broadband project.

The surmounting death threats that he and his family has been receiving for the past few days, and the risks of exposing such anomalies to the public are indications that there are groups who will relentlessly thwart order and destabilize the investigation proceedings.

We believe that curtailment of this freedom not only decelerates the speedy resolution of the case, but it brings millions of working Filipinos clueless as to how their taxes were utilized to finance such projects. We may have varying opinions on the credibility of his statements, but the aim to uncover the truth is based on the principled right that every person deserves to be given a fair chance to speak of and be heard.

And so our vigilance will rise up against these staggering pitfalls of the investigation process. We join the rest of the nation in its search for truth and justice.

For it’s about time that our voices be heard.
