R e : Statement of Support to Mr. Jun Lozada
In behalf of the local Bar and the law practitioners of Las Pinas City, and in line with the position taken by the national leadership of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), we hereby express our full support to the act of heroism and patriotism of Mr. Jun Lozada by coming out as a vital witness in the ongoing Senate inquiry on the corruption-infested ZTE-NBN contract of the immoral and illegitimate GMA Administration and its selfish and parasitic business cronies.
We congratulate the Las Salle brothers and the nuns from various religious orders, as well as the Philippine Senate, led by Senate President Manuel Villar (a supporter of the Las Pinas City Bar Association), who have done their best to insure the personal safety of Mr. Lozada and the collective safety of his family and who have exerted all efforts to expose the truth on the said controversy for the appropriate action of the Filipino people.
Mr. Lozada has followed the Light and has sought the Truth to attain Enlightenment of the Spirit and to achieve Liberation from Spiritual Corruption and Mental Sufferings. For such a selfless act¸ the Filipino people, especially Filipino lawyers who have taken an oath to fight for the rule of law, justice and freedom, will forever be grateful to him. History will always remember him.
May he be blessed and safe always. May he continue his courageous struggle for truth and justice for the sake of our abused and hopeless people.

STATEMENT OF SUPPORT TO
FIGHT CORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENT
In behalf of the lawyers of Las Piñas City, we fully support Mr. Jun Lozada in his fight to expose the culture of corruption in the GMA Administration. Like a good servant of the Lord , Mr. Lozada has followed the dictates of his conscience. His heroism and legacy will forever remain in the minds of the Filipino people.
We appeal to the Administration to put a stop on all acts of harassment against Mr. Jun Lozada and his family .
We call on the Philippine Senate to insure the personal safety of Mr. Jun Lozada , who came out to expose the scandalously overpriced NBN-ZTE deal brokered by immoral and greedy government officials and their cohorts .
We call on the armed component of the society to support the rule of law and the Constitution and not to be used by those who masquerade as protector of the people but in truth violate the law with impunity to serve their selfish motives.
Lastly, we call on the people to be more vigilant and demand transparency and accountability in public governance.
May Mr. Jun Lozada remain steadfast in his struggle for truth and justice .
