It has become crystal clear that the Arroyo camp, having asked for house arrest for Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and having admitted that she is recuperating and is fit enough to go out of the hospital through its spokespersons, tried to deceive the public—once again. The Arroyos are still lying through their teeth—as they had been doing in the past—this time in their vain attempt to evade prosecution for the many “sins” they committed against the Filipino people.
The Aquino administration and the Department of Justice should now ask the Pasay Regional Trial Court for her transfer to a detention facility, under the care of the Southern Police District. We, overseas Filipino workers and our dependents, will be more than happy to see Arroyo behind bars!
