It’s a photo meant to tug at your heart-strings – former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo looking blank, her head trapped in a “halo vest.”

It’s a far, far cry from the photo below.

The first photo above was just released today by lawyer Estelito Mendoza, the former Solicitor General of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos who has become the lawyer of last resort for appealing to the Supreme Court.

Thanks @Jove Francisco for posting it.

Notice that the Arroyo camp could have released such a photo earlier but chose to release it today.

Mendoza has petitioned the Supreme Court to step in and allow her to travel.

It’s not Mendoza’s fault. His wealthy clients just know that he delivers.

Should people feel very sorry for Mrs. Arroyo now?

Should people just say – go ahead, you need a break. Go abroad.

But what about justice? And accountability?

And how can we be sure that halo vest is not just a mere prop now?

Perhaps Mrs Arroyo should publicly release her official medical records covering the last four years – at least – so that a panel of doctors can really determine her medical condition.

  1. puwedeng umalis sya sa isang kundisyo na iiwanan niya ang mga bank account at mga property kay delima at pag hindi sya bumalik sa pinas ay magiging ari ng gobyerno ito

  2. Kayang-kaya ng SC na gawan ng paraan para makita ang medical records ni Gloria. Pag wala si Corona ay tapos na ang kuwento, lalabas na ang katotohanan na gawa-gawa lang lahat, pati implant, baka hindi naman talaga kailangan pero ipinalagay para magmukhang totoo na talagang may sakit sya. Sana hindi nabayaran ang mga doctor para doctorin and kanyang medical records para for future ay walang ebidensya sa drama.

    Kawawa si Gloria, hirap sya sa pag-artista kasi may halo vest sya na inaalis naman kung walang tao. Pagdating ng araw ay magkakaroon ng video na ganoon ang ginagawa, e di bisto sya. Maraming magagaling dyan, pati nga telephone conversation natatap e. Sino kaya ang director.

    Kayang-kaya rin ni Gloria na palalahin ang kanyang kondisyon, para mapayagan syang tumakas. Gagawin lahat ni Corona para mangyari ang gusto nila. Pero bistado na sya, sa susunod babaliktad na ang kanyang mga kasamahan para hindi sila madamay.

    Worst case baka madamay pa ang mental hospital, magkakagulo ang mga pasyente doon. Sana kaya nya at hindi mangyayari ang nasa bolang kristal.

  3. Gloria PLAY carefully, life is like a chess game, Once they hit the Queen(Gloria) it will be easy for the opponent to check mate the King(Mike). Use your remaining officials!

        • a big yes to that! what i mean is about – “put the little gurl to sleep” Ang una kong nasaisip na it came actually from their camp…from mike’s camp na isasacrifice si Gloria para silang lahat ay makalibre…lalong lalo na si mike taba!

  4. I’m currently out of the country so I’m not able to follow the Arroyo story more frequently and in-depth. Regardless of the issue, I find it sad that there’s a big lack of trust among my fellow Pinoys. I believe that Arroyo should be able to get the medical help that she needs, because she has the right to. Innocent until proven guilty.

    • you are right but what is the purpose of living pinas we a lot of good doctor in the philippines ,what is this muskarade .acting very sick they said that its alife and death situwation its is a lot of bull she is still alive ang kicking …gusto lang niyang magpaawa sa taong bayan…ang kaso walang maniwala sa kanya…si corona lang…

  6. wait..nasaan na ang mahaderang si elena bautista horny??? I heard that within this week may isasampa uling kaso ang comelec. Sana kasama na si taba mike arroyo. sya talaga yung nasa likod ng pagnanakaw ng pamilya nila. tinuruan pa nya pati mga anak nya kung paano at gaano karami kung magnakaw

    • MIKE ARROYO IS THE ULTIMATE MAFIA DON CORLEON, SNEAKY LOOKING CROOK BASTARD FAT PIG. THE CROOK STILL ALIVE…….. GOD IS REALLY BLIND.

      • Sorry but I do not agree that God is really blind…God is merciful…and patient…but God is also wise…He wanted us to learn our lessons…God wanted us to use our capabilities and choices for good…He gave us brain and freedom to use for our own good and for others too…He gave us heart to be compassionate and that heart is not only to serve what is pleasant and nice to us but also what is good for others!

        Let us not follow the likes of the Arroyo’s and others thieves in our society and surroundings. let us do our duty to make our country a good and safe country to live in. God will surely help us to be honest and good citizens of the Philippines…for God help those who help themselves!
