Arroyo’s condition poor, brother-in-law says
FORMER President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo should seek medical treatment abroad as she’s not coping well after a series of operations in her cervical spine, her brother-in-law said Monday.

Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio Arroyo said Mrs. Arroyo, now a Pampanga representative, should seek a second opinion abroad as her condition had not improved.

But he said she would have none of it because she feared public opinion, particularly her critics who might accuse her of trying to evade the various complaints against her.

“I am just recommending that she should go abroad for medical treatment because her condition has not been improving and she has been losing considerable weight since she was discharged from the hospital,” Arroyo told House reporters.

He said it should be his brother, former First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo, who should be telling Mrs. Arroyo to seek treatment abroad.

“My brother should be the one to tell my sister-in-law about it,” he said.

“She was very thin when I saw her.”

Mrs. Arroyo is staying at their residence in the posh La Vista subdivision in Quezon City. She continues to wear a brace on her neck and head.

Her doctors had earlier said it would take her two months to recover from her operations.

Mrs. Arroyo had a series of operations after she complained of pain in her spine in July. Maricel Cruz

No doctor in PH can treat Gloria's illness - Mike

MANILA, Philippines - Former First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo on Wednesday claimed there seems to be no expert in the Philippines who can treat the rare illness that afflicts his wife, former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

The former president's husband could not yet give the exact medical term but when asked if it is life threatening, Arroyo said: " I don't think so."

Asked if it was something that would have to be treated overseas, he said: "Unfortunately yes, because it seems there is no expert on that disease in the Philippines."

When asked though for their timetable, Arroyo said "I don't know the timetable yet. It all depends on the doctors."

Arroyo assured their critics that this will not be an excuse for them to avoid prosecution. "We will not evade prosecution. But we want due process. Not hearsay and fabricated evidence. We want fairness. We are innocent."

Arroyo's chief of staff Elena Bautista-Horn said this rare illness is not new. She said the former leader is recuperating and can already walk around the house.

Arroyo to face charges next month–Aquino
Associated Press


MANILA, Philippines–President Benigno Aquino III said his administration will be filing major corruption charges against his predecessor, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, next month.
Aquino refused Wednesday to provide details of the complaints the government is preparing against Arroyo, who won a seat in the House of Representatives after her stormy nine-year term ended last year.
She has been implicated in corruption scandals but steadfastly denies any wrongdoing.
Aquino suggested the government wanted to protect witnesses by not divulging details of the complaints.
Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said last month that authorities were building “airtight” cases and avoiding any leak of information to ensure convictions.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said Wednesday that the Department of Justice could not give a definite date in filing cases Arroyo and her family.
“That one I cannot make an expressed commitment because all the cases are already going through the process,” De Lima told reporters when asked to comment on Aquino’s statement before the foreign media that the government would file cases against Arroyo in November.
“I would not want to preempt the outcome of the investigations (of various government agencies),” she said.
According to De Lima, the President’s statement was “just a reiteration” of his administration’s commitment to bring to justice former government officials accused of wrongdoing. With Marlon Ramos, Philippine Daily Inq.

Outtakes
Prison survival tips for Gloria

“Christmas in Jail for Arroyos Seen”—INQUIRER.net headline
SAN FRANCISCO—Oh, boy. While they must be deemed innocent until yadda, yadda, it doesn’t look good for former President Gloria Arroyo and her husband Mike. Both may be in the slammer by Christmas for allegedly committing massive election fraud in 2004 and 2007.
But Gloria is strong; she’ll do okay, perhaps even thrive in prison. Nonetheless, here are useful survival tips for her (and Mike as well) in case she does end up in the can. These are tested techniques that have long worked for convicted murderers and felons:
Assume that you are being listened to at all times. Most holding cells are bugged, and prison phones could be too. So, if Garci calls, just say a simple “Hi.” Remember, they had you at “Hello.”
Whatever you do, don’t get tattooed. You may not be able to get a job later in life. Also, you may be tempted to join a gang for security. Try not to be openly identified with any–like HGL (Happy Go Lucky Gang), BnG (Bahala Na) or BSL (Batang Samar Leyte). Ask if they accept secret members, or secret funding.
Be respectful and polite to guards and other prisoners. Do not say “Oy! Oy!” or order them around. Never give them a glacial stare. They’re not as diplomatic as U.S. embassy officials who ask about election cheating. And giving somebody the finger isn’t considered polite even in prison, so don’t if you can help it.
A shiv will be indispensable. It’s an improvised stabbing implement. Every convict has one, in case of riots, gang warfare, or just any prison fight. Your bodyguards won’t be imprisoned with you, so always take your shiv with you to the shower. To make a shiv: Before entering prison, hide a long nail flat in the heel of your shoe. After sharpening it on your cell pavement, hide it in a bar of soap, or under your slipper, or in your underwear’s waistband.
Do not talk about your case–or in your case, cases–with anyone. Your cellmate or anybody could later testify against you to get time off–like that turncoat Zaldy Ampatuan. Pretend everything’s cool with him. When you take out a contract, be really discreet. The people on Death Row may be able to help with finding pros for the job.
Workout regularly so you can bulk up. Big biceps and ripped torsos can scare away cons that may want to intimidate or enslave you or make you their “bitch.” This applies to Mike also. Do not gamble, even for cigarettes. You can make enemies if you win, or fall into debt if you lose. In which case, you could end up as somebody’s bitch. If you can’t avoid gambling, learn how to cheat. But that’s nothing new. So no sweat.
You can also be somebody’s bitch if you seek protection from someone stronger. This is risky. You can be lost in a bet or be used as payment for a debt, cigarettes, **** magazines, etc. and get passed around as everybody’s bitch. (Warning to Mike: They like plump inside.)
If you want to become a bosyo or trustee, be more sophisticated in rigging the vote. Don’t tape anything or keep any written records. A misstep could be fatal. A safer alternative is to see if the warden was your political appointee. That will help a lot. If you can’t set up a Gloria Support Committee outside, have the manicurist you appointed to the Pag-IBIG Housing Fund start a letter-writing drive to the warden supporting your appointment. Actually, your favorite bishops would be better campaigners—they have more moral authority. Once a bosyo, you can boss around offending prisoners by spitting out lines like, “What we have heah is th’ failyuh ta communicate!”
Learn how to write really teeny-tiny letters to loved ones in teeny-tiny pieces of paper or cigarette palara, which you will fold to one-inch size and smuggle outside to communicate with your bagmen. Learn how to write on the wall with your fingernail in the dark. You’ll need that to pass the time and keep your sanity in solitary, should you be unlucky enough to end up in the tank for giving the guard a glacial stare.
Again to maintain sanity, enrich your cultural life while inside. Join the dancing prisoners team. You could be a hit on YouTube. To fight boredom, train a mouse or a cockroach to do tricks. Or you could start taking care of bird nestlings and gain new fame as the Birdwoman of Bilibid.
Ask a relative to bake you a cake with a file or a length of hacksaw blade inside, in case you want to break out later. You’ll need to arrange for a helicopter to spirit you out of the prison yard. A used chopper will do. It doesn’t have to be brand-new. Also, see if the gardener you appointed as deputy to the Luneta Park administration can dig you a tunnel from the outside. You can also ask Jose Pidal’s E.C. de Luna Construction to do that if necessary.
Being in prison is like being in a jungle full of predators. It’s always better not to commit a crime so you can avoid imprisonment. In your case, however, it may already be too late. So here’s an original poem I wrote to cheer you up in advance of the holidays:
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the House
Not a solon was stirring, not even a louse.
Ate Glo was handcuffed by the bailiff with care,
In hopes that the warden soon would be there.
The First Couple waited all snug and well fed,
While visions of escape routes danced in their heads.
Then she smirked glacially with Mike on her lap,
Adding up the years in that long sheet of rap.
Five for election rigging, ten years for graft,
Ten and twenty more for who knows what.
But weep not, dear couple, time goes like a flash,
When you get out, you’ll still have plenty of cash.
Ho. Ho. Ho.
