Manila, Philippines – Claiming of attempts by former president and now of Pampanga representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to go abroad, health workers who are protesting their “illegal arrest” during her presidency want the reversal of a court order which did not freeze her P15 million worth of properties.
The health workers members of the so-called “Morong 43″ asked Judge Maria Luisa Q. Padilla of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court to reverse a previous ruling denying their motion for a writ of preliminary attachment.
Through their counsel Edre Olalia of the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers the health workers said their belief that the former president may flee is not just a suspicion. (Chito Chavez)
