Gloria Arroyo, et al face graft charges over ZTE-NBN contract

Let’s observe how Presidential Chief Legal Counsel Sergio Apostol and Solicitor General Agnes Devanadera handle the presidential immunity issue. I think presidential immunity from suit does not covers de facto president or usurper.

What do we expect from Jose Pidal's crony Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez? This will be an impartiality test case for Ombudsman Gutierrez. She should be loyal to the Constitution not to Gloria Arroyo or Jose Pidal. The Joc-Joc Bolante fertilizer scam is going nowhere. She even absolved former Comelec chairman Benjamin Abalos’ criminal liability in the over-priced election counting machines. ZTE-NBN scam key player Trade and Industry Secretary Peter Favila should be also included in the complaint.
