No VIP treatment for GMA—Palace

By Virgilio J. Bugaoisan

The probe on the alleged 2007 electoral fraud has not even quite started by way of hearings, yet both Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, along with poll chairman Sixto Brillantes, and the presidential spokesmen appear to have prejudged the case against former President Arroyo and not only have deemed her guilty, but they have even pronounced already just where she would be jailed: In the National Penitentiary in Muntinlupa.

Edwin Lacierda, speaking for President Aquino, yesterday said that Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo will not get any VIP (Very Important Person) treatment and will definitely be sent to the National Bilibid Prison if and when she is arrested in connection with accusations that she is behind the alleged massive election cheating during the 2004 and 2007 elections.

A day earlier, Brilliantes claimed that Arroyo will be in jail by Christmas, as election fraud is a non-bailable offense, creating the general impression that the probe body will, even before any hearing

is done, be found guilty by way of a finding of “probable cause” to arrest her.

The Constitution, however, says that no accused should be denied bail—even in so-called unbailable crimes, the only exception to this would be when strong evidence warrants an accused’s immediate detention.

Thus far, what Brillantes, De Lima and Malacañang claim is “strong evidence” against Arroyo is an affidavit from a former Maguindanao administrator, Norrie Unas, who claims to be a close confidant of former Maguindanao Gov. Andal Ampatuan. Unas has been charged as one of the “brains” behind the Maguindanao massacre. He is under government protection through the WPP.

Mike Arroyo vows to face raps

MANILA, Philippines - Former First Gentleman Jose Miguel "Mike" Arroyo returned to Manila from Germany on Thursday and vowed to face the plunder charge filed by police against him and any other case that government may have in store for him.

Arroyo, who is accused of owning the second-hand helicopters sold to the Philippine National Police as brand new, arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 at 6:35 p.m. on board Cathay Pacific Airlines Flight CX 903 from Munich, Germany via Hong Kong.

Arroyo, who was accompanied by 3 men, queued at the airport's arrival area by himself, just like an ordinary passenger.

He described his trip as successful, saying he found a doctor specializing in stem cell research.

Arroyo told ABS-CBN News that he is willing to face any charges planned to be filed against him.

"They have to have the right evidence, dapat ay tama ang ebidensiya nila kung hindi balewala yun," Arroyo said.

"Of course we are willing to face them, but they must be fair also in evaluating the evidence, not just because somebody say something, papaniwalaan, ano ba ang pruweba nila?" he added.

Arroyo went to Germany more than 2 weeks ago to look for a doctor for himself and his wife, former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

In 2007, the former First Gentleman underwent surgery for aortic aneurysm. He was also hospitalized last April and went to Hong Kong for a check-up last month for the same condition.

Arroyo was initially placed on watchlist by the Bureau of Immigration pending the filing of plunder charges against him in connection with the police helicopters deal.

His wife, the former President, is also facing several plunder charges, while his son Rep. Mikey Arroyo and wife Angela are now a facing tax evasion case filed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.


The trip to Germany was successful after transferring all their accounts

GMA needs further treatment from foreign experts — Iggy

10/11/2011

Former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo is not getting any better and she needs further treatment from spine experts abroad.

According to Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo, Mrs. Arroyo’s brother-in-law, the former president’s health has deteriorated after three spinal operations at the St. Luke’s Medical Center.

Iggy said he does not intend to demean the expertise of doctors who operated on her sister-in-law

but that in his opinion, there is a need to seek a second opinion from doctors abroad.

“I am just recommending that she should go abroad for medical treatment because her condition has not been improving and she is losing considerable weight since she was discharged from the hospital,” Iggy said in a phone interview.

He, however, added the former president has been very reluctant to seek further treatment abroad because she might be accused of evading the law.

The Negros Occidental lawmaker said his brother, former First Gentleman Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo, should be the one who should convince the former president to go abroad for further treatment.

“My brother should be the one to tell my sister-in-law about it (medical treatment abroad). She’s very thin when I saw her,” Iggy stressed.

Mrs. Arroyo underwent a third surgery last August to correct a pinched nerve on her spine.

The former president is facing six plunder cases in connection with alleged various anomalies in government including the P1.2-billion sale of the old Iloilo airport to Megaworld Corp. P1.6 billion in fertilizer funds, P530 million in the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (Owwa) funds, and funds from Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) and the NBN-ZTE deal .

Her spouse, the former first gentleman, is also facing similar cases including graft while her eldest son, Ang Galing partylist Rep. Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo, together with his wife is facing tax evasion charges.

Raul Lambino, the legal counsel of the former leader, in a statement, also said the controversies hounding the former First Couple are not helping Mrs. Arroyo’s recovery.

He also stressed the Arroyos would face all the charges leveled at them.

Iggy is more concerned over GMA than his brother FG.

i think the fund transfer is not successful thus needing the presence of GMA abroad.

Golez OKs overseas treatment for GMA

By RG Cruz, ABS-CBN News
Posted at 10/11/2011 12:54 PM | Updated as of 10/11/2011 12:54 PM


MANILA, Philippines - Paranaque Rep. Roilo Golez is backing treatment overseas for former President and now Pampanga 2nd district Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo if it is needed.

Golez indicated it would be inhuman to doubt the graveness of Arroyo's illness just because there are fears she might use it to avoid prosecution.

He said Arroyo’s medical condition can be ascertained and if it is proven she needs it, he won't object to her getting the best treatment possible.


to those who doubt the medical situation of GMA, you are inhuman
