Thnaks for posting the pics of the several Jun Lozadas. Now I know the face of who the incognito one is, from the only question I missed in your quiz. Dinis-own yan ng mga madre in last week’s news. I just can’t recall anong partido siya, parang PMP yata. Not sure.
Etong mahirap sa mga namesakes-namesakes na to. Kung ang isang botante ay hindi nag-a update ng sarili sa mga balita, talagang maiboboto nila ang akala nilang yun na yun dahil magkatulad ang pangalan.
