I am not exactly a fan of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. In fact, I am inclined to believe that all the allegations hurled at her and her husband are true. Based on the statements of the resource persons / witnesses about the Arroyo couple's so called unscupulous deals, there is no way I could say they are innocent of the charges against them.
But then there is a rule of law which dictates that a person is innocent unless proven otherwise.
I am wondering what is going on in the mind of GMA right now. It must be truly depressing to be sick and at the same time being under arrest, be it hospital or otherwise. Not only is it depressing, but very humiliating as well, especially for a former head of state.
Add to that is the painful truth that nobody seems to care or believe them except for her family,lawyers,her ever faithful spokesperson and some justices of the Supreme Court. People don't really give a damn if she is getting better, and worst, most if not all believe that this is some sort of karma.
This only proves that no amount of wealth can buy dignity and much more, peace of mind. I think the latter is something she will never get to experience in the coming days or even years for that matter.
I am reminded of the verse " For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but suffers the loss of his soul ".
But despite everything that she has done, I can only commensurate with her misery and the Christian in me still hopes that her condition improves soon and that nothing untoward happens to her. But that is not to discount the fact that we have to know the truth and justice must be ultimately served.
