ABS-CBN: Atty. Raul Lambino, legal spokesman of Mrs. Arroyo, said the Ombudsman's decision is clear proof that the case was mere political harassment. "The dismissal of this case is clear proof that the cases filed by [President Aquino] against GMA have no leg of evidence to stand on and are purely harassment suits intended for political expediency and motivated by hatred and vindictiveness," he said in a statement.

We are perplexed at why Mr. Aquino is FIXATED on nailing the ailing Arroyo when she is already DETAINED and FACING TRIAL for her alleged sins. What else does the President want? His absence of compassion and propensity to trivialize Mrs. Arroyo's troubles give us a glimpse into the TRUE CHARACTER of this leader who ran and WON on NOTHING but RESIDUAL GOODWILL from his sainted parents.
PHILSTAR: PLUNDER CASE VS GMA JUNKED

A criminal complaint for plunder and graft against former Pres Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, former Philhealth head Francisco Duque III and 10 others former government officials was DISMISSED recently for lack of merit. They were charged before the Office of the Ombudsman for the alleged misuse of some P530 million in OWWA Medicare funds.
The anti-graft agency said the money reached the intended beneficiaries abroad. Also dismissed were charges of malversation of public funds, qualified  theft, and violation of the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.

Dear Mr. President, we are really offended. who wants to be wheelchair bound anyway? Leave the wisecracks and jokes to Vice Ganda. start acting and being President for once, it said. many of the reactions described Mr. Aquino's joke, if it was one, as insensitive, uncalled for, inappropriate, unpresidential, childish.

INQUIRER: Aquino hit for criticisms - Zambales Rep. Milagros "Mitos" Magsaysay said "He should know the proper time to say things especially since he is the head of the state. He should conform to our sense of decency and fair play," said Magsaysay. She said that what the President's comments indicated "where his fixation on lies." He should harp more on his accomplishments and what he intends to do to solve the nation's ills than beating an opponent who is already down."
