Those who enjoyed stealing while in power were as strong as a Lion. Once they are out of power and charged with their crimes, are crying that they are singled out and always unfit to go for trial. Their alibi is they are very sick. Well we are sick of your lies. Time for you to go rot in jail.

I honor Sec. De Lima for her courage in protecting the interest of the country & Pres. PNoy for fulfilling his promised that justice should prevail. This is the main reason why we supported his presidential campaign. GMA must face the case to put closure on the controversy so Filipinos can move on .If she is not guilty then she shouldn't be bothered at all. We all just want justice & accountability which is long overdue. Will continuously pray that God will give PNoy the strength, wisdom & guidance. God bless Philippines!

Down with the eight supreme court justices! Filipinos should not stop until they're removed from office and incarcerated! They will just steal like Arroyo! Let's not forget to spit on their names: Renato Corona, Arturo Brion, Roberto Abad, Presbitero Velasco jr., Diosdao Peralta, Lucas Bersamin, Jose Perez, and Martin Villarama Nakakahiya kayo!!!

Wake-up kababayans, this is the time to do something good for our country. Pres Aquino wants you to have a better future. He needs your voices and supports in cleaning-up the big mess that our country has for almost a century. If you don't do it this time, you lose your chances to be better. You still have a lot of thieves like the Arroyos, the Estradas, the Marcoses, and others are still hanging around waiting to do their evil works.

Does the TRO that was issued by the SC carry the weight of a law that must be enforced at once? If it is delayed or postponed, is it in violation of the constitution on the part of PNoy? What is the urgency on the part of the court to rush the departure of Arroyo? Gloria is not dying. Arroyo is not being denied of medical treatment. The bail bond of 2 million is pocket change compared to the magnitude of possible charges of rigging an election and plunder. The SC placed too much reliance on the embassies and lawyers to minimize or mitigate the fear that Gloria and her entire family are not returning back and face the music. The risk was just too high to ignore.

President Nonoy Aquino will be remembered as a great statesman. He knows pretty well that you can't repair the world if corrupt leaders & their cronies will continue to commit plunder & escape the brig. President Nonoy Aquino's slogan "Kung walang kurap walang mahirap" will provide a guidepost for modern politics, a presidential legacy worth emulating. He believes that all our dealings, in public service or private life, impact people's lives. Politicians must adhere to ethical & honest public service. Mabuhay ka President Nonoy Aquino!

Reuter's headline.."Former Philppines president arrested for vote fraud." Under the same news.."She is now under our control, under our custody", Senior Superintendent Franklin Bucayo, head of the Southern police district told a news briefing outside St. Luke's hospital. This historic & dramatic event is now posted in the internet world-wide. It might be disturbing for some to see digitally produced pictures of GMA behind bars on YouTube. It only shows that dishonest & corrupt people get no more respect from unappreciating & abused Filipinos. Likewise, all the opinion polls are majority against GMA on all counts. Good news.

Many times one has to test the limits of presidential powers. That courageous act is one of the traits people want to see in their chosen leaders. A leader has to face the risk and the consequences as well. The order lifting the hold departure order, as I see it, does not not carry the full weight of the law. If it were, then there are thousands of laws as there are as many thousands of TRO's that the courts have issued. One TRO = 1 law? Think about it!

If PNOY is really serious in cleaning up corruptions in this country then it's time for him to prioritise building up a high capacity prison cell to house those corrupt politicians, public servants, military & police officers, etc. if they can be found guilty...then justice is done but if no one is arrested and charged then there is no justice and corruption will triumph...progress to this country will fail, the country needs good management to uplift the economy and to encourage foreign investments and provide employment.

In the news: "Justice Warns SC Spokesman: Don't Interpret Out Order". At last an associate justice (Sereno) made sense in admonishing their spokesman, Marquez. She said, non-compliance of the requirements in the TRO made the order "in-effective", or something like that. tonyO, should know this. I'm not even sure whether they have posted P2 Million with the SC, one of the requirements. The other two is, 2) to appoint or assigned a legal representative who will receive all documents from the SC, or something like that, 3) to notify consulates abroad of their arrival or whereabouts or something like that. They haven't complied with no. 2, so the TRO is not effective when the Arroyos tried to "flee" the country last Tuesday. Getz it tonyO?

Recent opinion polls find De Lima the most popular public figure in her battle against organized corruption & crooked politicians. The general perception is she's a straight arrow, honest, fair, & in many ways incorruptible unlike previous DOJ secretaries. She acted boldly as a counter-weight against the SC & stood her ground contempt or no contempt. We should have more of her kind in this administration who will not kowtow or be intimidated by those political appointees in office or in the SC. De lima has one direct superior & that's Pres Aquino alone. Justice must prevail henceforth.

As I said the GMA camp will go to the Supreme Court again and do a Lacson squash the warrant of arrest. If Lacson can squash a warrant of arrest for murder how much more GMA who packed the Supreme Court with her protegees. Once the warrant of arrest is squashed the stooges of President BS Aquino in Congress will impeach the 8Justices including the Chief Justice there will be a long circus in the house of Representatives then one of the President Aquino stooges will do a Villar railroading the impeachment to the Senate this was done during the ERAP impeachment but ERAP had the numbers in the Senate reason for people idiotic power in EDSA 11.As I said the Islas de Ladrones are majority idiots an morons electing morons,idiots and imbeciles into public office.

The hospital arrest due to election sabotage is a step in the right direction. Her conviction however will not be easily won. Do not forget that she had more than 8 legal adviser at the Supreme Court. Most of them are her kaprobinsiya. They were her appointees.

To all kababayan wacthing the Arroyo case unfold before the supreme court must keep an eye on those justices appointed by Arroyo because most of them are appointed by her Chances are that they will give her a reprieve or undo her arrest and that will again send the case into a tailspin dive. So, in order not to be a laughing stock of the world again, let us all put pressure to those justices to serve the people not their job provider ( Arroyo ). Also, I have been prophetic about this Mike arroyo, Gloria's husband, because behind all these corruption that Gloria did during her term there is always Mike behind the scene telling her how to steal and how cover her tracks. So please, mga kababayan, lets all be together on this fight.

The Philippine Roman Catholic church once again is sticking its nose on the affairs of the legal system by saying that the court should put Arroyo in house or hospital arrest instead of jail time. Sometimes, the church is a part of the problem (including the population bill) that's why so many problems of the country remains unsolved because of its middling in the affairs of the state. The Arroyos, I am sure cunningly planned and executed to steal the election causing pain and loss to the candidates, and, as such she and her cohorts should met the toughest punishment the law has to offer. Have you heard the separation of the state and church, padre? So, butt out!

Why there was no impeachment? Where were those bright lawyers / senators? Why there was no People’s Power III? This is tantamount to, we just gave her a green light to prolong her abuse of power and place our country in total catastrophe. We people are to be blamed too.

Based on media reporting, I could safely say that Gloria's condition is nothing more than a case of pinched nerve or herniated cervical disk. I could relate to this because a relative of mine had suffered from the same ailment wherein the treatment required her to wear neck collar, to take medications to relieve pain, a period of rest, physical therapy, exercise and steroid injections. Gloria's condition is never life threatening or incapacitating. The bone biopsy reported by the media is nothing more than assessing the extent of her osteoporosis (decrease in bone density) resulting from hypoparathyroidism.

What is so depressing about these charges and counter charges being filed in courts is that bail money, attorneys & filing fees are likely funds that were stolen by GMA & cohorts when they were "the government" for about 9 years.

GMA et al disobeyed our laws, did not follow them, & did not comply with their duties to the Filipino people. Citizenship implies not only rights but also obligations.

To become a president, like the Philippines, is not a license to steal the wealth of the people, like what Gloria Macapagal Arroyo did as alleged to the massive corruption she did during her time while acting as the president of the republic of the Philippines. I said acting president because: at first, she grabbed the presidency from the duly elected president, President Estrada; second, she was put to power because of massive election fraud, like the Hello Garci. She must answer her wrong doings. I know she knew what she did was really wrong. She did it because of GREED. Let justice prevail in country.

Legal decision, iyan ay ayon sa interpretatasyon ng mga SC justices. Hindi para sa tamang decision para sa taongbayan. Absolute ba ang interpretasyon ng mga justices? Sana naman makonsensiya ang mga SC justices na ang kailangan ng masa, ay desisyon para sa masa. Paano tayo maaalis sa corrupt na kultura kung aasahan natin ay corrupt na justices?

Illegitimate ruler Gloria Arroyo was not "re-elected". The initial 4 yrs. was the result of her usurpation of the Office of the Pres. w/ collusion coming from El Tabaco, the late Corazon Aquino, Guingona, Belmonte, Angelo Reyes who committed suicide, Chavit Singson, religious, CBCP, Integrated Bar of the Phil., MBC, elite & influential blue-bloodied mammals, leftist. The last 6 yrs. of her rule was made possible through cheating whereby she announced a 1 million vote advantage prior to the election. "Hello Garci" & "I am sorry" for lapse in judgment.

The SC is becoming a refuge for the influential & wicked trapos. It is also becoming a power house that almost every move by the Executive, an order is in place to counter the act of the Executive. The Pres. is being paralyzed by these SC Justices who are displaying partisan politics. The function of the Exec. is never to be impeded when it comes to governance especially involving graft & corruption. Granting an immediate TRO for the Arroyos to travel given the behavior & demeanor, the intent they have shown indicated dishonesty. Immediately after SC issued the TRO, she began to pack ASAP but was prevented the "Great Escape". I would rather see corrupt officials prosecuted than the lies of wicked trapos about the economy.

DOJ Sec. Leila Delima and PNoy’s blatant defiance and disregard of the Supreme Court TRO vs the DOJ’s illegal and unconstitutional Watch List Order (WLO) that prevented GMA’s travel abroad Unconstitutional and illegal. It will lead to anarchy, if not to a civil war and destruction of our democratic system. I’m shocked that some people lauded the wrongful acts of Delima and Pnoy. I’m no fan of GMA! She’s the worst President the Philippines ever had. If proven guilty of the crimes attributed to her, she must be sent to the slammer, like ERAP. But their defiance of the Supreme Court order is equally worse and can lead Pinas to perdition. Delima and PNoy must account for their wrongful acts.

The worthy poor & less-fortunate public school students have been severely crippled by great plunderers of public funds & architects of electoral frauds like former president Gloria Arroyo & late president Marcos because social structures & democratic institutions like the Supreme Court tolerate plunder, high crimes, social, political & legal inequalities. If the freedom-loving Filipino people will act in a small way to get rid of any form of corruption by supporting President Aquino, it's will be considered as a marvelous victory. The identities of well-educated tyrants, despots & modern dictators are like idols that the voters must cease to worship as sacrosanct elected officials.

Ako'y hindi lawyer at hindi di rin ako maki GMA, pero ang nakikita ko lang ay mawawalang sala si GMA sa kadahilanan ay yan combined DOJ Comelec panel was impartial and illegal in the beginning. The composition were all biased to GMA. Both Brillantes, De Lima were lawyers of the opposition during GMA time. Another thing is that the jurisdiction supposed to be at the Ombudsman and Sandigan should be the right agency to file the case. An hina pati ng evidensya nila eh hear say lang ang sinabi ng comelec witness.

RTC, Pasay City Judge Jesus Mupas did not notify GMA, et al of the charge against them and the opportunity to answer in violation of “Rule 112, Section 5 of the Rules of Court, which he said “explicitly provides that once an information is filed before the court, the Executive Judge notifies both the contending parties of the scheduling of the raffle and gives them five days to prepare.” Instead, Judge Mupas approved the charge and issued the Warrant of Arrest. Very clear, this sanamagan sanamabit Judge abused his discretion and grossly violated the law. News report said GMA, et al will question this illegal action before the Supreme Court. Seguradong the Court will invalidate the charge and Arrest Warrant.

Atty? topacio said his client will not be getting a fair treatment from the Pnoy Govt. It is good reason why he said that. He know very well that indeed GMA committed the offense that she is currently under investigation. Atty Topac do not know how he will deflect the charges against GMA except by saying non acceptable excuses to the media. Naninira na lang siya. hindi kasi nakalusot ang pagpapatakas niya kay GMA na pang FAMAS ang arte, kumplete brace prop pa sa leeg. Turo kasi ni Topac iyon.

The Philippines is having 2 serious cases going on right now. A constitutional crisis created by Secretary De Lima with the backing of Pres Benigno Simon Aquino administration and the charge of election sabotage towards former Pres. Arroyo. The lower court disobeyed the Supreme Court. In U.S. and other democratic countries, the justices and the chief justice may not be liked by the people; however people, respect the decision of the Supreme Court. This is the first disobedience I know during our times. Secretary De Lima has crossed the line. She is so obsessed of locking Pres. Arroyo behind bars. On the charge of election sabotage, let the rule of law takes its course.

People of the Philippines wake up!! All cases against Arroyos does not have proper footings in real court, all of them will be dismiss. This order that came from "Wang Wang", to file case vs Arroyo in four hours with out reading the the joint panel resolution is pambihira and unique and like "Bicol Express" and illegal for sure. That is why Wang Wang can't sleep. Hahaha.

Is it wrong for us to believe that she is a criminal? Do you still dispute the fact that she is guilty of electoral sabotage in 2007? Isn't it true that she booked 6 flights to leave the country just to avoid prosecution of her crimes? You posted; "NEITHER SHALL THE RIGHT TO TRAVEL BE IMPAIRED EXCEPT IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY, PUBLIC SAFETY, OR PUBLIC HEALTH, AS MAY BE PROVIDED BY LAW.” It should also include "WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL IS UNDER INVESTIGATION OF A CRIME" Just a thought he he he..

The RTC Kangaroo Judge Mupas approved the information filed by the DOJ-COMELEC charging GMA, et al of the capital offense of “Electoral Sabotage” without the “Notice and Hearing” in violation of the “Criminal Procedures” prescribed by the RULES OF COURT. Hence, the information and the Arrest Warrant he issued against Acheng Gloria are null and void. The TRO issued by the Supreme Court versus Delima’s Watch List Order remains effective. Therefore, there will be no valid order to forbid GMA’s travel abroad. I strongly believe that the Supreme Court will invalidate the said Charge and Arrest Warrant. If, however, despite thereof Delima and Pnoy still defy the SC, then there’s a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS and the SC may flex its muscle against their arrogance of power.

"Kindergarten pupils" otherwise know as Election Officials were able to gather overwhelming evidences that enable their attorneys to file Election Sabotage against a former President. Positive outcome for the country; evidences presented by Kindergarten pupils were sufficient to show probable cause allowing the Pasay City court to issue a Warrant of Arrest for the suspect. The suspect is in police custody and officially booked.

The current editorial says "Not so fast "Ate Glo", the People Power will stop you from escaping". There's no need for "people power". Philippine laws provide all for the arrest of the suspect Arroyos or all crime suspects for that matter. Again as a "wishful drinking" (phram Carrie Fisher) I mean wishful thinking if only the law enforcement will have balls to enforce them (laws) no matter who they run over.

No once should yet rejoice just because Arroyo (Gloria) had been arrested. Check this out: When I play black jack and dealt a black jack hand or a 21, I would caution the other players when they start tapping my shoulder and congratulating me. I'll tell them "it's not time for rejoicing yet until the dealer pays me. My hand can still be beat or push (tabla)". True! for umptenth times it did happen (I push or worst lose). Prosecuting big shots is a game of chance in the Philippines.

Prosecuting big shots can be liken to a game of chance in PH, say, in Black Jack, PH could drew to a 21 and still lose the hand. No way! Black jack aficionados will probably say. Push (tabla) may be. Check this out: I've watched three (3) players in a black jack table after several cards had been dealt drew to hands of 21! They gave each other "hi-fives" for the fate. The dealer, though, showed a face card. And ngitngit ng mga demonyo! the blind card of the dealer was an Ace! Black Jack for the dealer (he missed he's got an Ace when he peeked). The players lose their 21s. Verdict: it did not change the fact that the dealer had Black Jack hand since the beginning. It may just happened versus the Arroyos. They may have an Ace in their sleeves together with the Face card shown so far.

At the helm, you're too busy attending the affairs of the State. At this time, suspend all gov't financial commitments to MILF/MNLF, NPA-Buscayno. They only use that money to arm, recruit, educate their followers to their cause. Misuari has a pending case of corruption and mismanagement of funds. Wake up and take back Abubakar.

“A person is assumed innocent until proven guilty” depende kung mga Arroyo ang pag u-usapan, maraming na expose na di tama kaya ang tao ay naka paghusga kaagad. The court will be the last step to put them in jail. Most plead innocent first even they knew by heart they are guilty of something. They want you to prove they are wrong at the same token they have to prove themselves innocent.

Had Pnoy administration acted within the 500 days of its administration rather than wasted its time, it could have indicted Acheng Glo on time of a criminal offense and could have petitioned the Regional Trial Court to issue a HOLD DEPARTURE ORDER against her in accordance with the Constitution, as implemented by the Supreme Court Circular No. 39-97. Determined to prosecute Acheng Glo for her alleged crimes, Pnoy and Delima openly violated the Constitution and the law by preventing Acheng’s travel abroad for medical purpose via an illegal DOJ’s WATCH LIST ORDER (WLO) and blatant defiance of the Supreme Court TRO against said illegal WLO. Pnoy is dangerous, He’s a potential despot who disregards the Constitution and the rule of law just to have his way.

It's high time that our country found the courage to stand up to despots. It's clear that GMA abused her unlimited & unopposed authority, absolute powers, & was able to brutally plundered the nation's treasury. She believed herself untouchable, thus, losing all sense of what's right & what's wrong. However, her bullying tactics, intimidations, & outright bribery do not work anymore. Those days are over. The national outcry has reached the zenith & it's irreversible in its fury. People are just fed-up of the BS. All the whistle-blowers & bell-ringers are ready to testify against her & all her cohorts (partners in crime). Filipinos want to see results & a possible quick conviction.

Manila Standard today’s news – “The fate of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will fall once again on the Supreme Court”. I believe the proof regarding electoral sabotage case against GMA is strong enough for the Administration and people to triumph. SC cannot by all means reverse the case and give GMA her liberty. If and when SC muddles the process then impeachment for these 8 justices is inevitable.

Dumadaan sa butas nang karayum si Gloria Arroyo ngayon. What a contrast now. She use to be a jet-setting globe-trotting first lady & today, a lowly dejected, & sickly patient. To say that this is not stressful & painful for her might not be true. It's an accumulation of events & she's beginning to realize the gravity & possible consequences that she'll be facing. Not only that, there are 20 more cases to be filed against her. Jesus Murphy. These humiliating developments might take a toll on her failing health..anorexia, colic bacteria. etc. It's better to keep her in the hospital where she gets medical attention 24/7 which she desperate needs. It's not karma..she is sick.

If Aling Gloria Arroyo would be found guilty by the court who is hearing her case and make an appeal to the supreme court, which most of it are appointed by her, I am almost sure that they will give her a favorable outcome because if they don't, the verdict is final, that means to say that all those sitting supreme court justices she appointed are illegal, null and void. Think about it. So if this happens (supreme court giving her a favorable verdict) the whole world will again just be laughing at us, so people of the Philippines be vigilant and keep a close eye on these Arroyo appointees and be ready to do another EDSA 3. if this happens.

The big problem of Islas de ladrones all government officials are expert in the "railroad" business. Had the Supreme Islas de ladrones allowed oral arguments before these "railroad expert" issued a TRO ex-parte there could have been less opposition to what ever TRO was issued. Then comes the haste in filing the election sabotage case in Pasay also at the speed of light issued a warrant of arrest. The circus again will be repeated this warrant of arrest will be elevated to the Supreme Court railroad experts and 8 of theses railroad expert including the chief railroad expert were appointed by no other than GMA. The circus goes on the Indios will starve.

I admire Pres. Aquino for his courageous effort to bring all the corrupt officials who did perished all the poor people of our country. Hail to our president who is fair and sincere to our country!. This is the first time in history having the corrupt officials being castigated and jailed. As I thought so before, Arroyos will not have a lasting power because it's Satan who rules them.

Re: GMA & Warrant of Arrest from RTC-- I believe the next move of GMA's lawyers is to go straight to the SC . Estilito Mendoza & Topacio would probably file a Certiorari case against the RTC which ordered the arrest of Arroyo.. exactly the same case filed by Sen. P. Lacson to Quash the warrant of Arrest.. When the SC orders the Quashing of the arrest warrant then GMA is ready to leave again.. Of course the Pnoy Admin is already preparing another arrest warrant for another case in another RTC so when the first arrest warrant is quashed there is another one to Quash.. Ad infinitum.. GMA won't be able to leave the PH.

This whole issue about GMA seeking medical treatment abroad, the hold departure order, the quick intervention of the SC and the warrant of arrest against the ex-president, are all but part of a big drama. Both parties played their hands well. Gloria had already calculated that when she leaves office she will be charged; so she stacked up the courts with justices who will take her side. DOJ anticipates that Corona will challenge the hold departure order by issuing a TRO. So, DOJ played the last card of charging Gloria with a non-bailable felony that renders the indefinite TRO favoring Gloria useless and impotent.

So much cases against the Arroyos. Lawyers will be feasting non-stop. Employment will be good for legal secretaries, court filing clerks, etc. They also will need to have more prosecutors and judges. Gloria will be hiring nurses and doctors with different illness specialties. Both sides will also require spokespersons for damage control.

Filipinos let us all unite that in case these SC justices favor GMA and reverse all the charges, LET US UNITE TO IMPEACH AND KICK ALL THOSE JUSTICES OF THE SC. These Justices should be loyal to the Constitution and the Filipino people and not TO ONE PERSON WHO PUT THEM IN THAT HIGHEST BENCH. These Justices are answerable to all the Filipino people in the PH and all over the world.

I don't buy the legal argument that the indefinite TRO issued by Corona's court, with all other 8 justices conniving to grant Gloria a free pass to travel, carries the weight of a law and its execution is immediate. What if the execution of the order was delayed to give way for Gloria's warrant of arrest and a serious non-bailable charge of election rigging? Now the TRO is relegated to the back burner and the warrant of arrest takes precedence. What is SC's recourse now? Challenge it ? Invalidate the warrant of arrest?

This time I admire the actions of PNoy and De Lima to stand up against the Supreme Court. I don't believe that this court led by Corona carries the admiration of the public with its wisdom and fairness. It is tone def. It is arrogant and defiant, to say the least. I give to them the CROWN OF STUPIDITY to wear both in public and in private.

The issue here goes beyond the TRO. It is about the SC's haste in granting Gloria a free pass to travel that carries a very light conditions. It is about the interest of the state over personal liberty or freedom. If Gloria is allowed to travel fails to return, one law school dean opined" the expectations of the people not really to convict her but the process of law to pursue...to make her account for perceived faults will be defeated.."We all need to read the transcripts of the oral arguments of Gloria's lawyers in their petition to lift the hold departure order and the SC's opinion to agree. Was DOJ invited to air its side before issuing the TRO? Was this decision of the court done in the middle of the night? RESPOND TO ME NOW JUSTICE TONY0!

To 1UP did the people really win in this circus? The answer is a big fat no. The people are the losers in this case. All institutions are prostituted. The executive the Judiciary and the Legislatives are all prostitutes. What if this enormous power of the state will be unleashed upon you ordinary citizen? Go to the Supreme Court for habeas Corpus what if the Executive will ignore such decision of the Supreme Court? what now. GMA prostituted the Supreme Court, GMA bought Congress now she is the victim of her own folly. I want GMA to be prosecuted but you have to follow the Constitution prosecute her properly not this all railroading activities of both the executive and the Supreme Court for to continue with this charade Islas de ladrones will end up like Somalia.

A GMA Report: P50,000 a night to stay at St. Luke's Hospital. That's P150,000 a month not including doctors' fee, consultations, tests, hospital care, etc. Don't you think that this is obscene & extremely luxurious VIP treatment & yet Mike Arroyo is still claiming they are being persecuted. What does Mike expect? What a travesty & parody. Time to give the booty chubby. You & Gloria are 'it.' No more BS please.

If Gloria Arroyo aided the Amputuans to commit murder is true, then she does not deserve to stay in the hospital for treatment. Put these #1 P#ta and murderer the same cells with these Pig Amputuans, this is where she belongs.

Gloria Arroyo's last card ay si Corona. It is her best hope to leave the country. Pag nakalusot siya at nakaalis sa bansa, goodbye Philippines. Di na siya babalik including the husband and the son. The conditions imposed by the SC to lift the TRO is an early Christmas gift. Too bad for Gloria, De Lima intercepted the gift package at the airport. The order allowing Goyang to leave is one hell of an offer no stupid woman should refuse. It's like Ombudman offering General Garcia a plea bargain deal. Puro sweetheart deal na lang?

I read with interest your editorial that members of the Supreme Court should be elected by the people, and not to be appointed by the incumbent President. Hear in Canada, I noticed that even members of the school board are elected by the people. Don't be surprised then if GMA (exorcist voice) and her cohorts will be scot free in the future like the Marcoses. If only the present could recover all that they (Marcoses, Arroyos, the Generals, etc.,) have stolen, the gov't could have used the money to increase the salaries of the government servants, particularly the teachers and the soldiers.

The question that the priest Eliseo Mendoza should asked is "how did a seemingly good and honest politician in the beginning end up allegedly as the most corrupt?" Was she corrupted after tasting the powers of being on top of the heap and the "fringe benefits" that come with it; just like the commercial used to say "ang sarap, isa pa nga!". Was running in Tongress and winning, a further sign of insatiable appetite to the powers she held for over nine years?

It is a common knowledge that the law is a command of the sovereign. Why should the Filipino people care about "corrective justice" or the rectification of past injustices? What will happen if the claim of past wrongs by the Filipino people can't be considered, heard & judged on their merits? Do you think that the health of the Philippine Republic can be restored? It is essential to restore an equilibrium to subdue the rise of immoral politicians. Moreover, the Filipino people themselves are the ultimate check upon corrupt democratic institutions, not a partial Supreme Court or judiciary.

Majority of Filipinos don't think that GMA is being exceptionally punished or persecuted. Far from it. She's given all due respect & not being maltreated in any shape or form. The point is if we really want to progress these 'new ways' by our gov't should prevail since progress necessarily requires change for the better & implies the overthrow of past system..it didn't work & will never work ever. We must embrace 'new ideas' over the old & corrupt ways. Sec. De Lima didn't cower nor wilt in spite of the threats from the SC & most of us support her. Filipinos worldwide want to expose the abuses by the GMA administration. She has to pay. It's as simple as that.

In the news: "Two Senatongs Warned Aquino In Jailing Arroyo". Because the danger of international backlash, daw. What backlash are they talking about? (whatever that means). The world did not give a hoot when president Alberto Fujimori of Peru was arrested, prosecuted and jailed because of crimes (corruption, murder, human right violations) committed while in office. Sounds familiar, right? There was Saddam, Mubarak and Kadafy. And these senatongs should not forget Manuel Noriega. Only Noriega got "a fair trial from the U.S." The others were not that "lucky". So what it is to the world about Arroyo. Except that she is a female, she weld powers just like above men, so she should be treated as such now that she allegedly committed crimes while in office.

A. Poli: Opinion mo; "These guys who now work for PNoy have all the motives to get even. That is precisely the reason why Phils is a joke. Gantihan ng gantihan. Walang katapusan." Beg your pardon? I'm assuming you are one of those who wants to see a change in our country! If you can't see the real value of what PNoy is trying to FIGHT FOR then there's no point for us to even try to wish and hope for anything. This is a great opportunity for our country to turn the corner. For as long as Filipinos are divided democracy will never flourish. Tsk tsk tsk...

As expected, the "good" (good to GMA) senators and congressmen will be voicing out their opinions against doing the right thing to GMA, making her a accountable to her crimes to the Pilipino people. Por Dios por Santo! Papaano maitutuwid and ating bansa kung nariyan pa ang mga iyan. Puro sila may utang na loob sa kay GMA na magnanakaw (magnanakaw ng election at pera ng bayan!). Tandaan natin ang mga ito, at huwag ng ihalal sa mga susunod na election. Ito lang ang maitutulong nating mamamayan sa bayan. Edcel Lagman, Mitos Magsaysay, Honasan, M defensor Santiago, at mga congressmen, mayors, governors at senators na namantikaan ni Godmother Gloria (nasa payroll ni GMA noong presidente pa siya).

Some posters wants to put GMA's case in the back burner just so the country could move forward with our economy! HOW? They want to put the CART (Supreme Court) in front of the HORSE? (the people). SC is an impaired court as they are composed of bias justices, eh kahiya hiya ang systema natin. According to 1 UP, "Only congress can enact laws. If Congress does not agree with the SC's interpretation of the current law, Congress will repeal that law." Meron bang pakialam ang congress dito sa "The People vs GMA"? Meron ba silang magawa para baguhin ang systema PRONTO? Tsk tsk tsk...

No special treatment for GMA!. Therefore, bring her in jail as ordinary people who committed crime against our country. It's so embarrassing but if she's really intelligent, it will be easy for her to understand that what she did was devilish and punishable. Gloria and Mike are wise during their power. But, they are not too wise to know that a new leader might come and bring them to jail for their evil doings.
