How Jun Lozada Will Be Remembered

In my business forecast for 2008, I initially predicted that there will be no huge political mudslinging that will have an impact in the economy. I was wrong.

The Philippines is at it again! Calls for the President to step down have once again gained momentum on charges of alleged corruption as a result of the ZTE-NBN broadband deal.

The name "Jun Lozada" has become so popular and has always been associated with the ZTE-NBN broadband deal controversy.

By now most webmasters and bloggers are exploiting the key word "Jun Lozada" considering it's being high-trend, low-dense keyword.

But this article is not about optimizing the "Jun Lozada" keyword. Rather this post seeks to present the two sides of the story and seeks to answer whether Jun Lozada is a Hero or a hypocrite.

Jun Lozada's actions and what he says will reveal why he decided to testify against the administration. As can be inferred from his word and actions, these are his reasons:

1.) Jun Lozada has become so guilty by the anomalous transactions that he helped facilitate so he repented of his ways because he could not take it anymore. 2.) Jun Lozada became patriotic, his deep love for his country was awakened.

The administration and other people say otherwise. They say Jun Lozada is a hypocrite because of the following reasons:

1.) Jun Lozada's own testimony proves that initially he helped in the alleged commission of the offense before his alleged "repentance"; 2.) Jun Lozada never had the intention to testify in the Senate, this is evidenced by his going to Hongkong to evade Senate inquiry. But because of the pressure that he has been receiving from the Senate and his being away from his family, he decided to tell all. In other words his "telling" all is not because he was guilt-stricken or because he was patriotic but because he was pressured to do so.

So which is which? Is Jun Lozada a hero or a hypocrite?

When presented with two strong opposing theories or hypothesis scientist have a way of coming up with a simple conclusion. This simple logical principle is known as "Occam's razor." Wikipedia says that the principle of Occam's razor simply states that "the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory." In simple terms what it is saying is that "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best."

Applying Occam's Razor to this situation, all things being equal, did Lozada testify because he moved by guilt and his love for his country or did he do so because of pressure? Don't forget, the simplest explanation is the best. Jun Lozada - Hero or hypocrite? You are the only one that can answer it for yourself.
