MANILA, Philippines - Dismayado si Pangulong Aquino sa desisyon ni Pasay RTC Judge Jesus Mupas na payagan si dating Pangulong Gloria Arroyo na makapagpiyansa.
Kinuwestiyon ng Pangulo ang masyadong mahigpit na pamantayan na ginamit ni Mupas na kawalan ng ‘corroborative testimony’ laban kay CGMA sa kaso nitong electoral sabotage.
Non-bailabale anya ang electoral sabotage pero pinayagan na makapagpiyansa si Arroyo dahil mahina umano ang ebidensiya.
“Based on my understanding, Judge Mupas said there was no corroborative testimony in his decision to grant the bail petition. But if we can recall the accusation, there were only three persons talking – Mrs. Arroyo, (former Maguindanao Gov. Andal Sr.) Ampatuan, and (former Maguindanao administrator Norie) Unas who was listening,” wika pa ni PNoy sa Malacañang media.
“Are we to think that they (Arroyo and Ampatuan) will give damaging testimonies against each other? So there can really be only one witness (Unas). How can we have corroborative testimony?”, dagdag pa nito.
Idinagdag pa ni PNoy, may pending na plunder case pa naman si Mrs. Arroyo sa Sandiganbayan at ‘no bail ito’.
