Sen. Chiz Escudero: Pres. Gloria Arroyo should go to jail
Posted on Sunday, November 01, 2009 by The Observer
Known presidential aspirants yesterday said they will prosecute current President Arroyo and work to send her to jail, but only if there is evidence that she has illegally enriched herself while in power and position.
Speaking before the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Leaders Forum of the United Nations and the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines (Focap) in Makati City, former President Joseph Estrada, Senators Francis Escudero and Richard Gordon, environmentalist Nick Perlas, and Olongapo City Councilor John Carlos de los Reyes said they will not block attempts to prosecute Mrs. Arroyo and other alleged corrupt officials who served her administration for any wrongdoing.
“If there is an order to file an information for a non-bailable offense, or if she is convicted by final judgment, and should therefore go to jail, the next president must simply do his job to implement the law and put her in jail,” said Escudero.
