Harapan: The Jun Lozada Expose

Since Joey and his wispy, side-swept do appeared in the Senate and uttered his famous line, â€œBack off!â€, the ZTE-NBN scandal has never left the minds of this nation. Everyday, I sit in front of the t.v. and wait for all sorts of updates on the Senate Inquiry, Jun Lozada, Romy Neri, heck, even the latest on Abalosâ€™ cry for libel. In the minds of the Pinoy, catching the news is tantamount to the holy observance of slapstick primetime soaps. But then again, gossip and political blunder are what moves people like me.

Around campus, every corner, is filled with students exchanging their views on whether Lozada is consistent with his sworn statements or heâ€™s lying or if heâ€™s just being manipulated to indeed destroy what is left of, if there is any, the Arroyo administrationâ€™s reputation. I find it amusing when I see and hear people arguing over political issues than, say, Gretchen Barretoâ€™s pagwawala on the dancefloor or Say Alonzoâ€™s supposed kiss mark. Itâ€™s so irritating whenever T.V. Patrol puts out the showbiz chika-minute in place of THE headlines. [Note: Stop it with the network war. Itâ€™s annoying!]

I watched ABS-CBNâ€™s HARAPAN: THE JUN LOZADA EXPOSE last Saturday and wow, I must say it almost felt like a total waste. For one thing, the word HARAPAN to me meant ONE ON ONE. The channel advertised the show as having Lozada go head to head with Abalos but what the heck were all the other administration people doing there? I was really surprised that there was a certain twist to that show and Lozada, I think, wasnâ€™t aware of that arrangement.
