MANILA – Former president of Philippines, Macapagal Arroyo have to face a pathetic destiny, she was arrested at a hospital in Manila on Friday (18/11/2011) on the charges of fraud in elections which entitled her for life imprisonment. Her arrest prevented her from leaving for overseas to receive medical care.
Arroyo herself denies having committed any offense and her lawyer claimed that the charges was made up. Ferdinand Topacio, Arroyo's lawyer said that the government has filed a lawsuit in a “hurried and indecent” way, in what he called “patterns that arise from abuse.”
The Filipino court issued an arrest warrant after the Electoral Commission filed charges against her.
For months, the speculation about Arroyo continued to rage in Philippines, she was accused of election fraud and embezzlement of funds. With the threat from the allegation, the government put her into the list of people who have to ask permission to leave the country.
But she was determined to make the journey to the airport, where in the photograph she was seen sitting in a wheelchair with a neck brace. She reportedly has a rare bone disease and in need of specialist treatment abroad. But the Filipino government thwarted her efforts to leave Philippines.
During her tenure as Philippine's number one, her policy after policy had always put into a corner the minority people in the Southern Philippines (Muslims – ed.). She did not allow the Muslims there to determine their our own destiny. Philippines occupied the islands in the Southern Philippine where a majority of the population are Muslims. Thousands of kafir troops were sent there to attack the Muslims who struggled to gain independence and establish the Islamic Shari'ah. They refuse to live under the rule of the Filipino government.
Those kafir military forces, those who were sent on the orders of Arroyo, burnt down civilian houses, Masjids and they also insulted Islam and the Muslims. They commited acts of terror every day and none of the international community, who always yell out the slogans of human rights, defended the Muslims there. There is no safe place for the Muslims in the southern Philippines. Their lands continued to be colonized and occupied, in the same way the land of Palestine continued to be occupied by the Israelis.
The Filipino government, which at that time was led by Arroyo, had tried to deceive the Bangsamoro community in her persistence to suppress the aspiration of the Moro people to manage their own lives based on what are written in the Qur’an.
Not only providing a false Regional Autonomy which was known as the “Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao”, the government in Manila also tried to deceive the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) by proposing peace negotiations. Whereas previously, the Filipino government had never demonstrated its implementation of the agreements with the Bangsamoro community, such as the Final Peace Agreement in 1996 with the MNLF (Moro National Liberation Front).
However, what was displayed by President Arroyo, the worries and frustrations, apparently did not give any emphasis on the peace process, in fact the government of Philippines continued to battle and attack the Bangsamoro.
The scenario that was shown at that time only provides heartbreaking memories and painful experiences for the Bangsamoro at the hand of the Filipino government under Arroyo. Coupled with the humiliations and the wounds, the dignity of Islam was even attacked, not only in the Philippines but all over the place on earth.
