House arrest or Detention Cell

I agree with you, how it is possible that before, they want to have a medical biopsy outside the country said to be very ill and dangerous LIFE THREATENING CONDITION, contrasting when the Philippine Medical Association was insulted from that reasoning that they are not capable of conducting and specializing such medical procedures in the country , if this is really true? how come she was able to get many surgical procedures at ST.LUKES MEDICAL CENTER, and when the DOJ issued a warrant of arrest to those physicians? and a PNP medical physician conducted a MEDICAL EXAMINATION? how possibly everything in her condition turned out to be NORMAL. VERY SILLY right? IS her medical procedures before are part of their tactics to divert and not to be presenting themselves in the SENATE ?Is this same as GARCI TAPE SCANDAL saying in public " I AM SORRY".. ha ha ha... IN my opinion? she must be putted in house arrest first then after be transferred to a DETENTION CELL for her and their family to feel how it was to be in that life after they have experienced all the manipulation of POWERS, FAME AND GLORY. NOW, WHERE WILL THEY PUT ALL THEIR GRAFTS MONEYS? CAN IT CURE THEIR PRESENT HEALTH CONDITIONS? THEIR RELATED ANOMALIES? THEIR STRESS? I GUESS NONE.. THIS IS A LESSON THAT, BE CONTENTED TO WHAT YOU HAVE IN LIFE AND NOT BE GREEDY. For whatever you do to the least of your brothers will be done unto you.. A moral lesson they should feel sorry about it..IF they have that conscience..

Hi! I think if she is still very ill a house arrest would do but if it will be proven that she is not as ill as what her doctors proclaim she should be put in a detention cells. The Philippine government has been unfair all along for not implementing justice and punishment in the right way. Look at Erap , I think he was just pretending to be very sick to avoid detention cell and the government tolerated that, Its time they stand on what should be done and stop tolerating these things.

hi jpso138 why has anyone the right to arrest the former Philippine President just for going out of the country for medicare? that preposterous as here in the US if we want to go to another country to spend less on medical care we can do so..Have you no freedom to go where you wish for medical care? I would not want to live in a country that did not let me go where I wished and prevented me from going out of the country fo medical care . So your people are not free after all. That is really shocking to me. what has she done to be arrested for?

Doctors always have different opinions. I just hope that what the Philippine doctors say that she is recovering is true and not a mistake. If it's true, Arroyo should be arrested and be detained to answer all the allegations. But if she's really ill, I still want her to be healed first even though she committed big mistakes which angers Filipino people. Justice must be served after she is cured.

Actually, it is hard to believe her anymore. We may think that we are just being manipulated again by her when she declared that she is ill and needed medical assistance outside the country. However, I am against the detention cell imprisonment because she was once our leader and we should give her respect though she had failed us.

If former president Erap was put in a detention cell, albeit customized to a former president, why can't Gloria Arroyo be made to stay there also? I believe the doctor who said, that her sickness is not life threatening.

Looks like they are just trying to get some sympathy from the public doing this. I think that her health reasons may looked valid to the eyes of some but is not at all very convincing to the many. Well I am for house arrest since she was our former president so I think we should give her the courtesy of being a different individual but I think if proven guilty then I guess her house arrest should not be provided but should be put to jail already. I guess this one would go a long long way since this one would be a tug of war between two powerful political groups. Just imagine how Erap's case prospered and if not GMA extension of term he would have gotten free a long time ago.

I would rather have her under house arrest. Putting her in a detention cell would entail additional expense for the taxpayers. I feel that a lot of us has forgotten that behind all this brouhaha, we're paying her non-working days as a member of Congress. If I'm not mistaken, no motion was passed by the Ethics Committee suspending her without pay. It's ironic that even with her being charged, arrested, and all those stuff, she's still having the last laugh. The taxpayers again are being duped.

Based on the turn of events it's very clear that GMA is trying to get out of the country and is just using her health condition as a way for her to get what she wanted. The good thing is we have a justice secretary who outwitted her lawyers. But I can't blame her if she wants to get out since that's her only way of avoiding the biggest embarrassment of her life. If she's convicted then it's only fitting that went through what erap went through.

I don't care where is put as long as she stays and remains here. Doctors and lawyers are complicated people who usually manipulate otehr people by using words and certain rhetoric that can make your head spin. I just hope that everything that transpires will be communicated to the public since this has been an on-going drama for some time now.

Have her stay in the VMMC so that her health is closely monitored and subsequently be improved if she is really suffering from something. I find it hard to give Gloria the benefit of the doubt in her current situation.

I think the DOJ's move is just appropriate if GMA doesn't really need any immediate medical attention. The way her itenerary has been plotted is like she's trying to escape from all the charges against her. If she is innocent enough then face her case and move on if proven not guilty.

This whole scenario really imaged as a dramatic telenovela that desires to make Filipinos look dumb (but we are not,and that's where these guys failed). GMA and her camp put so many mishaps and lies with the expense of her credibility that covered whatever contributions she had made during her term. I'd like to believe that she will get appropriate verdict,it may not be in the laws of the land,but in God's term. Its not even a question now of whether she will be placed on a detention cell or house arrest, the mere fact that government proved her criminal and administrative cases is a major justice already to Filipino people. At the end of the day, she is already a prison at her heart and her being!

I prefer house arrest..:)
