After a five-minute deliberation, the graft court granted the postponement of the hearing to next week but with a warning to the prosecution that should they again cause a delay to the hearing, the same may be a ground for the granting of the bail petitions of the Arroyo and Beningo Aguas, a former financial officer of the PCSO. Lawyer Laurence Arroyo, counsel of Mrs. Arroyo (no relation), said they share the court's sentiment on the failure of the prosecution to present its evidence on today's hearing. "We share the court's bafflement at the prosecution's inability to present their next witness. This is the second straight week that they have no witness. In the meantime, President Arroyo continues to be deprived of her precious liberty. The prosecution argued that they should be given their day in court. But that's precisely what the weekly settings are for - so they can present their evidence," he said.
