juN lozADA, Filipinos Modern Day HERO?
“All hails the moral courage of Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada, a great Filipino!” 
I wonder if he really is a great filipino. As far as i’m concern, filipinos whom i consider great are the likes of Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Juan Luna, Ninoy Aquino and a lot more. In this time of the year, is Jun Lozada our modern day HERO?
Yes, all of us saw him exhausted, stressed and emotionally drained. He showed strength of character, none of us have seen these days, as he told his explosive story. I thought his heroism could get him killed and put a great risk to the wellbeing of his family. But does this qualify him to be a hero?
Jose Rizal, a martyr gave his life for the freedom of our motherland. He did not just that, in fact when he silently fought his battle, it inspired the filipinos to unite for a common goal. Unity then was the most important warfare we had. And it is UNITY still that will empower us to succeed, to develop and to progress as one Nation and one Country. But with the unending controversies i wonder if we’d be able to stand united against the evils of this land. by the way do we even know the evils are? is it Arroyo and the governement? is it the opposition who continues to challenge every step taken by the latter? Will the battle fought by JL give the same end result as that of Jose Rizal? Maybe it will, maybe it wont?
Right now, the senate is already spending millions just for the sake of investigating said controversy in aid of legislation. Everyday we see senators asking the same questions and giving subpoenas to people to appear to them for questioning. Jl saying this and that. At the end of the day, will all these benefit the millions of filipinos who are starving, unemployed and homeless? I doubt. This investigation in aid of legislation is a waste of money and time. What have they legislated in the past after conducting these hearings?They havent imprisoned corrupt officials, oh they tried but failed. And their doing it again. Listening to a man who the filipinos believes to be their hero.
I can see nuns and priest surrounding JL. Can’t they pray for him in their convents and churches?why do they have to be with him. I dont like the idea that the religious society nowadays mingles with the political situations our country is suffering, not that there is something grave about it but somehow it doesnt look good. One thought, during the hearings while they are there, do you think the senators will act in the same manner if they arent there?hehehe maybe, maybe not.
anyway, im really troubled right now. Im trying to make sense out of what im thinking hehehe so bare with me. K.so i wont finish it nalang muna. BuT i really dont think LOZADA IS a great filipino,neither is he our MOdern day HERO.
ciao
