Rodulfo "Jun" Lozada filed Kidnapping Charges in Court



Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada Jr. speaks to faculty and students of the
Ateneo de Manila business school in Makati,
as part of a series of public appearances.
On Friday, he filed kidnapping charges in court.


A key witness in the aborted national broadband project on Friday filed charges of kidnapping and attempted murder before the Department of Justice against government officials involved in his alleged abduction early this month.

Lozada sued Environment Secretary Jose “Lito” Atienza; Director General Avelino Razon Jr., chief of the Philippine National Police; Chief Supt. Romeo Hilomen, head of the Police Security and Protection Office; Senior Supt. Paul Mascariñas, deputy chief of the protection office; retired Brig. Gen. Angel Atutubo, airport security chief; retired Senior Police Officer 4 Rodolfo Valeroso; and several John Does. Valeroso previously was identified in reports as “Roger.”

Lozada’s lawyers said the kidnapping charges stemmed from the incident on February 5, when Lozada was picked up allegedly against his will by government men from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport upon his arrival from Hong Kong. Among these men allegedly were Atutubo and Valeroso.
