I initially predicted in my business forecast for 2008 that nothing will happen politically that will affect the economy. But once again, time has proven me wrong.

Now we are living back in hell again as calls for the President to step down is back on full swing. This time is because of 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 words and actions tell his story on why he decided to testify against the administration. These are his reasons:

1.) Jun Lozada could not take it anymore. He has become guilt-stricken by the anomalous act that he helped facilitate before he repented of his ways that is why he decided to testify. 2.) Jun Lozada was somewhat moved by patriotism and his deep love for his country.

On the other hand the administration and other people paint Jun Lozada as somebody who is a hypocrite because of the following reasons and circumstances:

1.) Jun Lozada admitted that he helped commit the offense before he repented; 2.) Jun Lozada never had the intention to testify in the Senate. The fact that he went to Hongkong to evade Senate inquiry proves such. But because of the pressure that he has been receiving from the Senate, he decided to tell all. In short his testifying is not because he was guilt-stricken or because of his patriotism. He was only forced to do it because he was pressured to.

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.
