Jun Lozada, A Portrait of A Sacrificial Lamb

April 29th, 2009 by Nick

jun-lozadaJun Lozada was arrested earlier, amidst media surrounding the said event.  The many sides that claim him to be their mascot also have contesting opposite sides that are targeting him for not towing the Arroyo Administration line.  It was the NBN Deal fiasco that started it all, and in search of a much needed “witness” to this shady deal, there was Jun Lozada ripe for the picking.

I will not doubt what Jun Lozada has in his heart, for any man that can endure what he has had to endure is hard to doubt.. but yet, I still have that skepticism about me when it comes to Jun Lozada.

Whatever Jun Lozada’s motivations are, whether if it was for the nation or for a chance to be known as the man that was the catalyst that overthrew President Arroyo, the result of his involvement in this fiasco is undeniably staring right there in front of us.

He has become a sacrifical lamb to convey the message of those who oppose the Administration, and in a sense, he has also become a sacrifical lamb for groups within the administration to possibly make an example of the man.

Whether we like it or not, the great Senators who used this man to shove a Senate Inquiry in our face, only to bungle it up once again, will still walk free, able to campaign for the next election, all the while keeping their pork, and still able to ride the public sentiments in favor of Jun Lozada, especially now with this recent arrest.

No one will be taken to task for the root cause of this Jun Lozada circus, except for Jun Lozada himself.  Sure, there will be groups that will plead for his safety and to fight against the harassment that has been thrust upon Lozada, but at the end of the day, whether we agree with Lozada’s actions or not, he will still be the sacrificial lamb for the varying politicos involved in this fiasco.  If only Jun Lozada realized this, he may well have done a Neri.  For there are no sacrificial lambs as long as you tow the Arroyo line.
