Soundbytes: Jun Lozada, the whistleblower in the controversial NBN-ZTE broadband deal during the Arroyo administration, has been released from the New Bilibid Prison along with his brother, Jose Orlando Lozada, the Bureau of Corrections confirmed Thursday. Lozada rose to national prominence in 2008 after exposing alleged corruption in the multimillion-dollar National Broadband Network (NBN) deal between the Philippine government and Chinese firm ZTE Corporation. His testimony implicated several high-ranking officials and sparked one of the biggest political scandals during the administration of then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. The Lozada brothers were convicted in 2022 for graft charges linked to a separate case involving the lease of public land during Jun Lozada’s tenure as president of the Philippine Forest Corporation.
