Leila De Lima on Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo: "No reason for house arrest."
Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Leila De Lima is not favorable on the motion of the camp of former President and now Pampanga Congresswoman Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for her to be placed under house arrest.
While it is still up to Pasay City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 112 Judge Jesus Mupas, who is handling the electoral sabotage case filed against the former president, to decide on the detention arrangement, De Lima said it is much better that CGMA be detained in a government hospital facility which is complete with amenities.
She also revealed that the lawyers of CGMA have not presented enough evidence to support her bid for house arrest.
“There is no basis anymore for her continuous hospital confinement. If there is no basis for hospital arrest, there is less reason for house arrest,” De Lima said.
