Statement of Atty. Anacleto Diaz: Former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is saddened by today's news that the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee in its Report recommended the filing of plunder charges against her and officials of the PCSO. The former President has never used her position to enrich herself. The Senate Report recklessly disregarded the point that former Pres. Arroyo did not amass, accumulate or acquire any amount of the Confidential and Intelligence Funds of the PCSO which was the subject of the Senate did not even consider the fact that the PCSO during her administration reached unprecedented levels in revenues and benefits extended to the various charities, health and medical programs granted to our people. We are hopeful that the Ombudsman, who has a reputation for probity and independence, will be consistent with the fundamental requirements for fair play and due process.
