February 23, 2012

Naghain ng “not guilty plea” si dating Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sa kanyang pagharap sa Pasay City Regional Trial Court Branch 112 nitong Huwebes para sa kanyang arraignment sa electoral sabotage charge na kanyang kinakaharap.

Ayon sa kanyang abugadong si Ferdinand Topacio, “very firmly” na itinanggi ng dating pangulo ang mga paratang sa kanya.

“Wala naman po siya talagang kasalanan. Para sa amin, ang arraignment na ito ang first step towards acquittal sapagkat napakanipis naman po talaga nitong mga paratang laban sa ating dating Pangulo,” ani Topacio.

“Despite the continuous and massive vilification campaign against me and my family, I have always said that I will dispute all charges in the proper forum. I am submitting myself to this process not only to clear my name but also as part of my commitment to respect and abide by the rules and orders of our courts,” pahayag ni Gng. Arroyo, kasalakuyang kinatawan ng second legislative district ng Pampanga sa House of Representatives.

Dagdag pa niya, umaasa ako na “our leaders uphold and our people have faith in the Constitution and the rule of law.”
