Lozada ties Ochoa to Philforest row | Inquirer News

If we dont believe in Lozada then there is no reason why we believe in ZTE-NBN ... kay gi cancell ni sa Malacanyang in 2011 nagpasabot na diay ni nga wala ni cover up ?

The plan to abolish Philforest is a mere “cover” to supposedly protect Aquino’s allies involved in the pork barrel scam, said an official of the Association of Major Religious Superiors of Men in the Philippines (AMRSMP).

Over Church-run Radio Veritas on Monday, Fr. Marlon Lacal, AMRSMP executive secretary, said the investigation of dubious deals the Philforest entered into with bogus NGOs must not stop at Santos but must “go to the highest level of power.”

Lacal said that the investigation must include Ochoa, who he claimed was a close friend of Santos.

The priest alleged that Ochoa used his ties to Santos to pave the awarding of government land in Busuanga to his brother-in-law.

Also on Radio Veritas, Lozada said the paper trail and evidence showing how Ochoa’s brother-in-law benefited from Philforest’s transactions may vanish with the closure of the state firm, the agro-forestry arm of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources

If his chair of being the executive secretary would be heated up with the issue, then there is no reason for him to leave his post or for the Presidency to replace him. I think the retaliation by those involved in the Napoles scam is being started. The church should sway away from such government issue a lot would love to persecute them and would cry for the breach of separation of church and state.

Murag ni retaliate ra ni si Lozada after sya gi filan ug kaso (graft) sa iyang former subordinate and current Philforest President Erwin Santos way back Dec. 2009.

Santos was appointed by then Environment Secretary Lito Atienza, who Lozada said was a close friend of Acuzar.
Lozada said Acuzar was also known to have close ties to Speaker Feliciano Belmonte.

“If you will look at its (NSJBI) history, it got its biggest project in 1988 when Atienza was chair of the NHA (National Housing Authority),” he said.

At that time, Lozada said Belmonte was the head of the Government Service Insurance System while Ochoa was the GSIS legal counsel.

Ochoa also served as city administrator during Belmonte’s nine-year tenure as mayor of Quezon City.

NSJBI is a real-estate company owned by Jose “Jerry’’ Acuzar, who is married to Ochoa’s sister.

Lozada was Santos' boss until the former resigned as Philforest chief executive officer on Feb. 7, two days after he arrived in Manila from Hong Kong and decided to face the Senate to reveal what he knew about the scandal-ridden National Broadband Network (NBN) deal with China's ZTE Corp.
