COTABATO CITY—President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will definitely step down in 2010 and run for Congress

in her home province of Pampanga, a Cabinet official said Friday.
Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman gave this apparently categorical statement on Ms Arroyo’s political plans when he spoke to reporters at the sidelines of the Independence Day celebrations in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), where he was a guest speaker.
“Definitely, she is running for Congress and would represent the people of Pampanga,” Pangandaman, one of Ms Arroyo’s staunch supporters, said. “She is definitely stepping down after her term.”
Pangandaman said Ms Arroyo had always told those close to her about her plans to run in the congressional race in Pampanga.
He said Ms Arroyo made her latest statement on the matter during a meeting of the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) earlier this week.
“This should allay the fears of the opposition about the no-election scenario,” Pangandaman said.

An appropriate theme for her is Depeche Mode's "I just can't get enough."

the immunity granted to congressmen extends only to crimes punishable by not more than six years of imprisonment. The crime of rape carries with it the penalty of reclusion perpetua which has a minimum penalty of 20 years and one day and a maximum penalty of 40 years. Hence, the immunity will not apply.
