One Big Truth is All We Need

Ever since Jun Lozada entered in the picture of Philippine politics, many have raised their eyebrows and asked themselves, “Who is this man?” Nobody knows him from the start, but now, he is more popular than Marimar and other teleserye characters in the primetime television. He is the most controversial and most- talked about person in the town today besides his opponent, Ben Abalos. He is “The Star Witness” of the ZTE scandal that involves our president, Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo.

I was surprised when I saw the La Sallian Brothers on TV especially Brother Armin, the President of the La Sallian community in the Philippines. I began to wonder: What are they doing there, in the senate, of all places in the Philippines? I never knew that Lozada is a fellow La Sallian because he studied in La Salle Greenhills when he was still younger. The brothers are protecting him because right now, his life is in danger. He asked the brothers to help him because he knows he could count on them, especially in times like this. That is why the whole La Sallian community, is affected by this controversy. Now I know why we always have prayer vigils every night after class at the Amphitheatre. We are only just praying for the truth and nothing more.

One big truth is all we need. I hope the whole truth will come out soon…and I’m also wishing that people would stop going to EDSA to have another People Power. Well hey, aren’t you guys getting tired of going to EDSA? If you could think of other ways to express your love and concern for our country, it would be much better. Three EDSA People Powers are enough okay?



*By the way, please watch TV Patrol tomorrow because the guys from ABS-CBN news and current affairs will be covering the campaign for the truth of the De La Salle University- Manila, College of St. Benilde and St. Scholastica’s College- Manila students. Please support our campaign. Let’s all be united. Let’s all be ONE for the truth. Thank you!*
