ABS-CBN NEWS: Filed in time for SONA?
In a statement, Anacleto Diaz, a lawyer of Mrs. Arroyo, said it appears the case was filed in time for President Aquino's State of the Nation Address (SONA) next week. "This is another dark day for the rule of law. In the past, cases were decided solely on the basis of evidence adduced on record...It appears that the case was filed against the former President to time it with President's forthcoming SONA in which he will be accorded another opportunity to pillory and demonize the former President, and worse, justify her further detention without bail even as a Petition for her bail is precisely pending resolution in the court," he said. "We will avail of all even as we stand ready to prove that the present charges against her are devoid of merit."
