Former President Gloria Arroyo starts her 2nd term as representative of the second district of Pampanga

She took her oath before a notary public at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center where she is under hospital arrest.

Her husband, Mike Arroyo, other family members, her chief of staff Elena Baustista Horn, and her lawyer Raul Lambino witnessed the oath-taking, along with some of Arroyo's constituents from Pampanga.

Arroyo ally Gov. Lilia Pineda and her son Vice Gov. Dennis Pineda, the first-ever-mother-and-son team to head Pampanga's provincial government, have also taken their oaths at the Saint Augustine Parish Church, the oldest church in the province.

The Office of the Ombudsman is mandated by its own internal rules to act on even an "anonymous" complaint, tip, or information against govt officials, their relatives and friends. Anonymous tips, complaints are acted upon by the fact-finding teams of the Office of the Ombudsman to verify whether the allegations are based on facts. USEC VALTE can not dismiss the complaint of Extortion without a minimum inquiry by the Office of Ombudsman, but she must encourage the accused to submit notarized sworn statements or affidavits that they, the kamag anak inc group, did not visit Czech Republic, did not visit Inekon, did not talk to Czech Amb Josef Rychtar, did not discuss MRT 3 new, replacement train purchase, did not bring Steve Psinakis to Czech Republic and Inekon.

What is "obscure and murky", according to USEC VALTE, can be clarified by a simple query addressed to Czech Amb Josef Rychtar:

1. Did Kamag anak visit Inekon?
2. Did kamag anak vist Czech Republic?
3. Is Czech Amb Rychtar happy with the treatment of Inekon company by the DOTC during the public bidding for new trains for the MRT 3 edsa Line?
4. Did Cory Aquinos top train man Pete Prado discuss Inekon and MRT 3 trains with Amb. Rychtar?

ON LEDAC:
PRES AQUINO WILL NOT MEDDLE WITH THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES IN THEIR WORK.
HELOW? RH BILL?
SIN TAX LAW?
CYBERCRIME LAW?
 CORONA IMPEACHMENT?
AYAW MONG MAKIALAM PERO NANGAMPANYA KA HALOS ARAW-ARAW PARA SA TEAM PNOY!!!!
