IN AUGUST 2013, PRESIDENT BENIGNO AQUINO III SAID THE CORRUPTION CONTROVERSIES UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION WERE NOT AS BAD AS THE FERTILIZER FUND SCAM.

NOW - NEWS: ARROYO CLEARED IN FERTILIZER SCAM

Arroyo, who is under hospital arrest, has also been cleared of complicity in the alleged misuse of the P530-million fund of the OWWA. Government audit reports showed that the fund was properly liquidated and was used to help Filipino workers abroad.

She was similarly cleared in the plunder case filed against her over P72 million in capital-gains taxes that allegedly were not paid during the sale of the Iloilo Airport in 2007.

And in April this year, the Ombudsman also cleared Arroyo and her son, Camarines Sur Rep. Diosdado Ignacio Arroyo, in the graft charges filed over some infrastructure projects in Camarines Sur.
