GMA begs Sandigan go-ahead for bail

Former President Gloria Arroyo on Tuesday pressed the Sandiganbayan to allow her to post bail as she reiterated that there is no evidence at all to show that she committed plunder through her alleged involvement in the misuse of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) confidential and intelligence funds (CIF) during the last years of her administration.

The former leader, now under hospital arrest, insisted that she is not a flight risk and that her age, health condition, and stature as a public figure should be considered for humanitarian reasons.
