While members of various militant groups rallied outside the gate to support the appearance of Rodolfo Noel I. Lozada Jr before three Senate Committees yesterday at the Senate to give his testimonies on the controversies behind the ZTE National Broadband Network deal,  government officials led by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Lito Atienza disputed the claims of Lozada that he was kidnapped on Feb. 5 by government agents to prevent him from testifying on the alleged overpriced and corrupt-laden  contract. The protest rally and the re-emergence of Jun Lozada reportedly partly stemmed up from the ouster of Joe De Venecia as speaker of the house. (PDN photo by Eric Isaac)
