GLORIA ARROYO RIGHTS: RIGHT TO TRAVEL OR SIMPLY THE RIGHT TO ESCAPE CRIMINAL LIABILITY?

Kailangan pa bang tanungin yan kung bakit nagpalit ng posisyon si Pnoy? Dapat lang magpalit ng desisyon si Pnoy! Huwag payagan makalabas ng bansa si GMA!

You mean to say coincidence na naman ang choice of countries na walang extradition treaty? Why not go to USA? Len Bautista-Horn must stop covering up the true intentions of GMA. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court does not center the argument to her right to travel but her right to life. Is she dying? Her right to travel, her right to life are her rights to escape! Supreme Court will make that all possible for her. What if, GMA leaves the country. Will the Supreme Court offer a guarantee to all Filipino people that she will return? Or do we have to wait for 2016 when Pnoy's term ends to see the Arroyo clan back? Let's not forget the 72 foreigh trips GMA and Mike Arroyo made in 2009 just before the 2010 presidential elections. Stashing their loot out of the country before the end of her term? Who knows.

What about GMA's 900 midnight appointments in 2010 plus the justices in the Supreme Court? Protecting her back before she left the office? Now the Bishops interfering to make her leave. All those luxury gifts make sense. Now it's getting clearer.

Gloria Arroyo vs Leila De Lima and an individual's right to travel
11112011

Analyzing DOJ's decision to deny the ex president's request to seek medical treatment abroad

In denying due to "lack of merit" former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's application to travel abroad to seek medical treatment, Department of Justice Secretary (and possible 2013 senatorial candidate?) Leila de Lima raised the following points:

1. The camp of GMA has made conflicting statements as to whether she really has metabolic bone disease.

2. There is no urgent and immediate situation for GMA to seek medical treatment abroad (as concluded by Health Sec. Enrique Ona)

3. The former president has been inconsistent about the countries she intends to visit, and that some of those visits are actually for non-medical purposes

4. GMA has been unclear about how long the medical treatment she intends to seek will be completed (in an obvious sarcasm, De Lima pointed out that this "may actually take forever").

5. The Philippines has no existing extradition treaties with the countries GMA listed in her itinerary -- Spain, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Singapore.


Leila De Lima: "The temptation (for Gloria Arroyo) to simply escape criminal liability is definitely more real than apparent."

According to De Lima, allowing Arroyo to travel abroad "puts her (GMA) beyond the jurisdiction of the State in the exercise of its ... mandate to investigate and prosecute criminal acts." Earlier in her resolution, she pointed out that "given the gravity of the charges" against the former president, "the temptation to simply escape criminal liability is definitely more real than apparent." And in an apparent attempt to defend herself from future accusations of engaging in "mere speculations," De Lima pointed out that flight from justice is one of the remaining hard choices left for Arroyo -- especially since she is facing the probability of being detained "throughout the period of her trial for non-bailable offenses."

An individual's right to travel is guaranteed by the 1987 Constitution. Section 3 of Article III (Bill of Rights) states:

"The liberty of abode and of changing the same within the limits prescribed by law shall not be impaired except upon lawful order of the court. Neither shall the right to travel be impaired except in the interest of national security, public safety, or public health, as may be provided by law."

Even if an individual's right to travel is guaranteed by the constitution, former President Arroyo still needs the Justice Secretary's approval to seek medical attention overseas because of DOJ Circular 41, signed by then-DOJ Sec. Alberto Agra last May 25, 2010 -- or merely five weeks before Benigno Aquino III took his oath as the country's 15th president. The said circular seeks to consolidate the rules and regulations governing the issuances and implementing of hold departure orders, watchlist orders, and allow departure orders.
