MANILA -- Government officials who attended Monday's Senate inquiry on the controversial US$329 million National Broadband Network (NBN) deal with China firm ZTE Corp. denied claims of Rodolfo Lozada Jr. that he was kidnapped upon his arrival at the airport last February 5.
Lozada, a witness of the NBN deal, maintained he was not protected but instead kidnapped. He told the Senate he was taken against his will.
