A Pasay court, which hears the electoral sabotage case of former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, is keen on allowing her to travel abroad for New Year, a court staffer said. On Dec. 13, the Pasay court was set to resolve the very urgent supplemental motion for leave to travel abroad. The court staffer refused to specify the dates when Arroyo would be traveling to each country. Should the court allow her to travel, Arroyo needs to pay the travel bond of P700,000. The Pasay court granted her bail in July 2012, and this was affirmed by the Court of Appeals in March 2015, saying “Arroyo’s evidence of guilt is not strong.”
