LOZADA KIDNAPPED?
Villar wants full account of Lozada's
arrival at airport from NAIA and BI officials,
appeals to public to help Senate locate him

This evening, I received a call from Mrs. Violeta Lozada, wife of Philippine Forest Corp. CEO Rodolfo Lozada. She said her family fears the safety of Lozada and is asking for the Senate's help to make sure that he is out of danger.

We demand from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Immigration officials a full account of Mr. Lozada's arrival in the airport where he was reportedly kidnapped.

If it is true that Lozada is being detained against his will, then we urge whoever is keeping Lozada to produce him and turn him over to the Senate where he is called to appear as a witness on the NBN-ZTE deal.

I appeal to our citizens to exercise vigilance and let us know of any information that may help us locate him.
