Are we seeing a charade in all of these? Are we being fooled even by Malacanang on the issue of former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's plan to leave the country?
Seems like it. For one, no criminal case has been filed against any of the Arroyos inspite of the fact that several fact-finding bodies have already collected pieces of evidence against the former first family. Yet because of Justice secretary De Lima's dilly-dallying tactics, no case has been filed against the Arroyo.
Without a case filed, the Arroyos can very well exercise their right to travel. The DOJ Circular No. 41 is patently irregular since only the courts can issue hold departure orders. I don't want to be extra malicious, but, is it possible that this situation was concocted or planned so that the Arroyos will have a legal way out, and exercise their right to file a TRO?
What am I saying? That Malacanang did a Pontius Pilate and allowed the Supreme Court to decide this issue and court public ire?
We all know that the Arroyos rely on the law whenever they are in trouble. Surely, a motion for a TRO is in order given the "illegality" of such a DOJ circular.
Likewise, these maneuverings on the part of the government particularly its plan of preventing the Arroyos from leaving despite a Supreme Court TRO, can actually be used by the Arroyo in justifying their application for asylum in a friendly country. They are giving the Arroyos ammunition in applying for an asylum.
