Former Senate president Franklin Drilon said that Rodolfo Lozada, former president of Philippine Forest Corporation (PFC) who stands witness in the controversial ZTE-RP National Broadband Network (NBN) deal hearing at the Senate "is credible" in his testimony.
Drilon, president of Liberal Party, joined the call for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to step down at the height of equally scandalous "Hello Garci tapes" that implicated GMA of alleged rigging the 2004 presidential
polls apparently to ensure her victory against the late Philippine action movie king Fernando Poe, Jr.
Speaking as guest of Holy Name University 60th year celebration, Drilon lamented that the government tried to block someone who would like to tell the Senate of the truth surrounding the NBN deal controversy.
As former justice secretary, Drilon said Lozada is credible and he is consistent with all his statements at the Senate during the 10-hour grilling last week.
