ANC: Wearing a neck brace, ex-pres. Arroyo meets with Pampanga officials, after a thanksgiving mass in Lubao. Candaba Mayor Jerry Pelayo says, there's still no word if Arroyo will run in next year's elections.

Ferdinand Topacio quoted US President Abraham Lincoln (former President) "that the charges against former PGMA are as thin as the soup made from boiling the shadow of a chicken that has been starved to death."

PHILSTAR: Vice President Jejomar Binay agreed with Mupas that the evidence presented by prosecutors against the former president is weak. Binay said bail is granted to an accused if the evidence presented is weak, even if the case is a capital offense.
"In court,even if the charge is a capital offense, like election violation, regardless of the fact that the penalty is capital punishment once the evidence is weak, bail is granted," Binay said.

- It never even occurs to the Yellows that Arroyo may still have rights and that they actually have to build a strong case against her if they want to see her permanently behind bars. As some of the more benighted Aquino sycophants say with straight, self-righteous faces, it is more important to jail Arroyo for what she supposedly symbolizes -  and to hell with the law and the rules of evidence, due process and other inconvenient stuff that merely clouds the heroic narrative in their minds.

1) bakit lumabas lahat ng positives before the SONA? at saka lumabas ang negatives PAGKATAPOS ng sona.

-Unang-una, sundan natin ang definition ng plunder. It is taking or using govt funds not less than P50M for personal gain. Normal na proseso naman na magbigay ng approval ang pangulo para magamit ang isang pondo. Dapat lamang matiyak na ginastos ng tama. Naipaliwanag naman ito ng PCSO. Lahat ay properly accounted dahil nag-issue ng clearance ang COA sa lahat ng pera na binabanggit diyan. Kung sakaling mag-issue ng warrant of arrest ang Sandiganbayan, non-bailable nga ito. Hiniling nga namin na i-suspend ang proceedings kasi hindi pa tapos ang prelim investigation. Inapura na naman ito ng Ombudsman. Hindi kami nabigyan ng kopya ng resolution para sana makapaghain kami ng motion for reconsideration. Wala kaming ibang kaso na kasing-bigat nito na nakabinbin sa DOJ o sa Ombudsman.
