MANILA, Philippines – Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada pleaded “not guilty” Wednesday, March 6, in connection with a graft case filed against him.
Lozada, the whistleblower in the NBN-ZTE issue, was arraigned at 8:25 am Wednesday at the Sandiganbayan 4th Division. His brother Jose Orlando, a co-accused, also pleaded not guilty to one count of graft.
Lozada faces two counts of graft before the court, in connection with alleged irregularities in the lease of government lands by his brother, when the former was president of the Philippine Forest Corporation (PhilForest).
The court issued an arrest warrant for him last February 6, and he surrendered to the police February 11, after staying with a group of nuns in an undisclosed location for a week.
During that time, Lozada claimed armed men tried to threaten him several times. – Rappler.com
