Who’s lying?
April 30th, 2009 by Manuel Buencamino
The question should be who’s more credible not who’s lying.
Mike Defenseor says Jun Lozada lied to the Senate when he testified that Defensor forced him to lie about being kidnapped by government officials upon his return from Hongkong in February 2008. Jun Lozada says he was telling the truth.
Mike Defensor was a Palace official when he called a press conference to debunk the Garci’s tapes as fake. His famous line was, ‘It’s Mrs. Arroyo’s voice but she’s not the one talking’ or something to that effect.
So I guess that settles the question of who is more credible.,
Now who’s lying among these three Palace mutts?
The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that two Palace officials claimed they have nothing to do with Defensor filing a perjury case against Lozada.
Malacañang distanced itself Wednesday from the arrest of whistleblower Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada, saying the matter was between him and complainant Michael Defensor, former chief of the Presidential Management Staff.
Remonde and Gabriel Claudio, presidential political adviser, also denied that they had attempted to convince Defensor to withdraw the perjury complaint he had filed against Lozada.
Remonde admitted meeting with Defensor two or three days ago and discussing the Lozada case with him “in passing.”
“I just asked about his take on it,” he recalled. “But it was not meant to impose on him.”
Claudio said he ran into Defensor last Sunday, but “never advised [him] on any particular course of action.”
Defensor contradicts the two on the following day.
“Cerge Remonde called me up last Saturday, and Gabby Claudio called me up on Sunday. Cerge again called on Monday evening. They asked me to withdraw the case, because the Lozada issue was dead but is being revived,” Defensor told reporters.
. They all admitted to a conversation. They contradict each other on the topic they discussed/
Can you tell who’s lying?
