PHILSTAR: CARMEN PEDROSA - At the center of testing whether we live under the rule of law is the continuous incarceration of former President GMA. She is accused of plunder and cannot post bail. Yet there is no proof that she committed plunder. She is also charged with election sabotage, but it is based on hearsay. That violates the rule of law. More starting is that new charges are being brought against her in time for Pres Aquino to cite her case yet again as one of his accomplishments when he gives his SONA. Aquino is banking on the Filipino public, that they like seeing the former President in jail even if it violates the rule of law.
