LATEST STATEMENT ON THE TRAVEL BAN ON FORMER PRESIDENT AND PRESENT CONGRESSWOMAN GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO

It is alarming that the Supreme Court and Dept. of Justice appear to be coming into a tragic collision. Obviously there is a grave crisis that must be averted. Under the circumstances, it appears that the urgent burden of whatever damage may have been caused by yesterday's events appears to be on the shoulders of the executive.

The Supreme Court was merely doing its job - that is to act upon a petition that has been brought to them for immediate action.

As a lawyer herself, and as former Chair of the Commission on Human Rights, it is incumbent upon Sec. De Lima to protect the rights of all Filipinos, even those of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
