Jilly Ann Marfil ABPO4 Opinion on P-noy decision not allowing former President Gloria Macapagal Aroyo to seek

medical attention abroad. As a student of political science, i think P-noy decision is reasonable for denying Aroyo to seek medical attention abroad because first and foremost the medical experts who give her treatment said that GMA is in no immediate danger and that her condition is not life-threatening.Health Secretary Enrique Ona once said that the Philippines is not lacking in medical experts who can attend to her care and treatment. It means that GMA can be cure in our country. P-noy also explain upon not allowing GMA to go abroad beacause she has lots of cases to be go through like electoral sabotage which is a non-bailable offense. P-noy asserted that his decision is satisfactory because GMA need to face arraignment personaly if ever they will come to this point. GMA case is in the priliminary investigation, if ever she will not go back how can we accuse her? Pnoy added. Eventually, President Aquino offered GMA a medical specialist to go here in our country for GMA's medical treatment which will be paid by our government. In this case we can all see if it is her main reason to go abroad but then again she rejected it. In an article in the internet for presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda, the Arroyo camps rejection of Aquinos offer certainly strengthens the peoples perception on the real reason for the request to travel."Thats the issue here, they want to travel because they are looking for specialists. Okay, so what was our solution? Dont travel anymore, we will help you. Just tell us who your specialists are and we will bring them here in the Philippines. Why are they rejecting it? We thought the reason to travel was to seek medical treatment. Isnt it that we answered that squarely? That issue was answered squarely by the President: we will bring in the specialists of your choice. And so, it primarily addresses the issue of (seeking) medical treatment, Lacierda added. And now they are changing the whole story by fighting for their right to travel.GMAs legal spokesperson, Raul Lambino, argued: The real issue at hand [is the] the brazen disregard by PNoy and Justice Secretary Leila de Lima of our constitutional right to travel. The purpose of PGMA in going abroad for medical treatment is not the issue at all. Its her right to travel and right to a healthful life as a person. Every persons liberty is now put in jeopardy by this vindictive PNoy government, whose priority is to persecute and humiliate the Arroyos for survey ratings purposes. I thought her primary purpose to go abroad is to seek medical treatment,but why she decline the offer of president Pnow and changing everything into her right to travel? It shown that she has her other agenda in going abroad and it is something that we can ignore. Whatever GMA plans is, is not the issue. The thing is she should face accusation being impart to her through a due process either it will be given a trial if she is guilty or not.It's nice to know we had a good leader who would take all the possibilities in annomalies in our country whoever she/he is. He really doing his job, i salute him for his cosistency in governing of our country.His motivation and agenda is really strong by implying the true democracy which is through honest election in our country. Panahon na upang mabigyang-linaw ang patung-patong na alegasyon ng katiwalian na nagpapahina sa integridad ng mga halalan; panahon na upang manumbalik ang kredibilidad ng ating eleksyon, at manaig ang katarungan para sa kapakanan ng sambayanan, Aquino affirmed.
