Pasay court sets Arroyo bail hearing on March 15
MANILA — The Pasay City Regional Trial Court (RTC) has set the hearing on the reiterative petition for bail filed by the camp of Pampanga 2nd District Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on March 15.
Pasay RTC Branch 112 spokesperson and legal researcher Felda Domingo said Presiding Judge Jesus Mupas set the hearing on the bail request on March 15, 22 and 29 with Arroyo’s camp presenting their evidence followed by the prosecution.
At the same time, Domingo said Mupas also ordered the Commission on Election (Comelec), which filed the electoral sabotage charges against the former president, to file their comment or opposition to the petition on or before March 12.
In the reiterative petition of Arroyo’s camp, counsel for respondent Benjamin Santos said the 1987 Constitution provided that every accused has the right to post bail.
“The former President is exercising her right under our Constitution to seek bail,” Santos said adding that the term “non-bailable” is actually a misnomer since the Constitution said every accused has the right to bail.
Santos said they are prepared to argue their case that Arroyo should be allowed to post bail and temporary liberty while the charges is being heard by Mupas.
Electoral sabotage is a non-bailable offense, especially if the evidence is accused but in their earlier motion for bail, Arroyo’s camp argued that the government’s case against the former leader is weak as it is based only on a single statement of Norie Unas, the former provincial administrator of Maguindanao, who told the Department of Justice (DOJ) he heard the then President ordered Maguindanao governor Andal Ampatuan Sr. to ensure the win of the administration bets in the 2007 mid-term polls at all costs.
The 64-year-old former chief executive has entered a not guilty plea on the charges late last month.
The court has set the pre-trial of the case on April 19.
Arroyo is currently detained at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) where she is undergoing daily therapy for her spinal ailment and other illness.
In a related development, Mupas also set the arraignment of Arroyo’s co-accused Ampatuan and former election supervisor Lintang Bedol on March 19.
Ampatuan is detained at Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan, Taguig where he along with other members of his clan are facing multiple murder charges in connection with the 2009 Maguindanao massacre case while Bedol is under the custody of the poll body and the DOJ.
