Joker's wife told Lozada not to participate in Senate Hearings

Nakausap rin naman pala ni ZTE witness Jun Lozada ang asawa ni Joker Arroyo. And Joker's wife pretty much told Lozada not to cooperate:

AFTER issuing a stern warning against ZTE star witness Rodolfo Noel Lozada Jr. "not to mess around with my wife (Felicitas)," Sen. Joker Arroyo has chosen not to talk about the matter.

"No, I don’t want to talk about it, that is a private matter," Arroyo said.

On Monday, Arroyo accused Lozada of being selective of the people he wanted to talk to.

"It smacks of bad faith... You’re talking to some, but you’re not talking to us. You favor some senators, you don’t favor others. I raise those points because it’s a question of good faith," Arroyo said.

Lozada replied: "Kung sabi ninyo na bad faith na kinausap ko si Senator Lacson, nakausap ko rin ho ang asawa ninyo."


Lozada described how he entered Arroyo’s house in DasmariƱas Village, Makati city.

He said it was a "Tony Abaya" (there are at least three persons of that name including a former congressman, a newspaper columnist, and a media communications expert) who facilitated his meeting with Arroyo’s wife.

But the senator cut off Lozada, saying: "Do not mess around with my wife."

On questioning of Senate President pro tempore Jinggoy Estrada, Lozada said Arroyo’s wife told him not to speak in the Senate inquiry.

I'm not surprised by this. Joker himself tried to stop Neri from revealing all during the executive session.

In other news, the police guy who escorted (abducted?) Lozada is now detained inside a Police safehouse for "his safety raw". (or maybe he's being coached on what to say if he is forced to testify?)
