Where's ex-Agri Chief Cito Lorenzo?

Where's former Agricultural Secretary Cito Lorenzo? Like Bolante, he too left the country at the height of the scandal. Where is he? Is he still shuttling to and fro Hongkong and Singapore? Sources say, he knew nothing of the scandal. If that's true, then, why is he not showing himself up and cleanse his tarnished reputation before the public? Why is he still hiding? Is he being protected by the Arroyo regime and what's the cost?

Also, why is there no report about Bolante's accomplices? There are hundreds of local executives involved in this scam. Where are they? 

All Patriots should call on ex-Secretary Lorenzo. He should be made to reveal what he knows about this. He should come out and tell the Filipino People. We deserve to know the truth, Mr. Lorenzo.

Joc-Joc Bolante's Arrival: End of Days for Arroyo?

Jocelyn "Joc-Joc" Bolante, the undersecretary who allegedly masterminded the Fertilizer scam is set to arrive on a Northwest airlines flight on Tuesday, October 28. (this corrects my earlier piece that Joc-Joc has arrived and being held in a villa in Subic). 

His arrival will not be met with an arrest, since according to in Justice Secretary Raul Gonzales' interview, Bolante has no pending case. However, Senator Cheez Escudero asked the Senate to immediately revive the pending warrant for Bolante's arrest for possible plunder.

Question--will Bolante do a Lozada and cause another stir in the political hornet's nest? Or will he parrot the official government line? Such may be the thoughts of the condemned Atenean now that he's a man without a face. 

If I'm Joc-Joc, I would just tell the truth. Why? Will you protect someone who's just a year and a half away from exile? Or even weeks away from exile?

Worst that could happen is if Joc-Joc suffers the fate of Ninoy. That would surely make some fascists in barongs happy. And, martial rule will be served in a golden plate.
