Gloria Arroyo brought home again to La Vista for New Year furlough


Former President and now Pamapanga Representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is back again at her house in La Vista Subdivision in Quezon City for a court ordered New Year furlough.

A post on dzBB radio's Twitter account said Arroyo was once again taken from her detention cell at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) in Quezon City.

 

 

The Supreme Court has allowed Arroyo to stay at her house in La Vista for a total of six days during the holidays.

In a decision, the High Court allowed her to stay at her residence from 8 a.m. of December 23 until 5 p.m. of December 26; and from 8 a.m. of December 30 until 5 p.m. of January 2, 2016.

Arroyo was granted a furlough in connection with her urgent motion for house arrest, pending resolution of her bail petition against the Sandiganbayan First Division, which is hearing a plunder case against her over the alleged misuse of P366 million in Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office funds during her term as president.

Arroyo has been on hospital arrest since 2012. —LBG/KG, GMA News
