That controversial meeting between Mrs. Arroyo and Manny Villar

Last May 2, 2009, New Philippine Revolution exposed the alleged meeting between Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Nacionalista bet Manny Villar. The meeting, arranged by two of Villar's closest associates, Ricky Razon and Manny Zamora, brother of Villar's campaign manager Ronnie Zamora, inspite of denials, did, indeed, happened.

Remember that Villar formally requested Senate president Juan Ponce-Enrile's permission to fly out to Spain on the eve of a Senate ethics probe against him. Villar's alibi---that Spain trip was a long promised "second honeymoon" between him and his wife, Congresswoman Cynthia Villar.

Villar took off and his camp did not issue any statement regarding his controversial Spanish trip.

At that time, Mrs. Arroyo, as confirmed by former deputy spokesperson LoreLIE Fajardo, was on her two-country visits to Egypt and Syria. The plan was supposedly divert her itinerary and land on Spain for a brief 10-12 hour "side trip".

However, when some quarters got wind of the supposed meeting, the presidential appointments secretary reportedly got an instruction not to proceed and instead, hold the meeting in the Philippines instead.

New information however leaked out. Last December, when Mrs. Arroyo and her family went to Hongkong for their regular Christmas holiday season vacation, emisaries from the Villar camp were reportedly seen talking with the First Gentleman in one of the ritzy hotels of the island state.

Among those seen with the First Gentleman were members of Villar's inner circle. This was confirmed by one of the members of the entourage.

The question really is---what is so wrong with Villar meeting with Arroyo? If meeting Arroyo means collusion, then, was there any occasion where Noynoy Aquino also met Arroyo and also accused of colluding with the oppressive regime?
