What is so special about hospitals these days that most of the politicians who are to be arrested would rather stay attached to intravenous tubes and keep on faking their illnesses? I guess they would rather keep those medical tubes and needles stuck in their veins than find themselves incarcerated. A case in point is former Pres. Gloria Arroyo's insistence of staying and being confined at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) despite the doctors there telling her that she is as strong as a horse and can be discharged. But she would prefer to be confined at the VMMC forever than see and enjoy the insides of a regular jail cell. Her co-accused in the PhP366Million Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Intelligence Fund anomaly, former PCSO Chairman Manuel Morato is also confined in another hospital before cops could serve his arrest warrant and send him also to jail.
Obviously, these two partners in crime are faking their illnesses to avoid arrest and steer clear of being placed inside a prison cell along with ordinary and poor criminals. Let's face it folks, Ex-Pres. Arroyo was once the most powerful woman in this country and ex-Chairman Morato is from a very rich and influential clan. If you were in their shoes right now, you also wouldn't want to end up in jail and share you bunk bed with other lowly inmates, right? But the law must be applied equally to all accused, regardless of their social and financial status. There should be no special treatment accorded to people who are charged with petty crimes and those charged with plunder.
If these two really stole or misused the 366 million peso PCSO funds which are from the lotto betting public then they should go to jail right now. I mean, if an ordinary person steals a 100 pesos and he got caught, he would certainly end up in the slammer so then why should a rich thief caught pocketing 366 million pesos stay in an air-conditioned hospital rooms while faking alleged serious illnesses? No one is supposed to be above the law so that should also be applied to ex-Pres. Arroyo and to ex-Chairman Morato.
As for their alleged life-threatening illnesses, the Government can always provide them both with a medical doctor to monitor their health 24/7 while they are in jail. That's also a form of special treatment you might say? Okay, then maybe a fake doctor whose also in jail serving his punishment can be their cellmate and can monitor their health. At least when the fake doctor makes a mistake which later results in their untimely demise then he doesn't have to go to jail all over again because he's already in jail, right? Lol. What do you think?
