Manila. Former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is set to enter a plea on electoral fraud charges at the first day of a trial that the court calls a historic event.
The case against Arroyo has emerged a key test for her reformist successor, President Benigno Aquino III, who has promised to root out corruption and said that no one should be allowed to evade justice.
Arroyo is being escorted early on Thursday under tight security to a Manila courtroom from a military hospital where she is detained while being treated for a spine ailment.
Court spokeswoman Felda Domingo says the case is historic because “the votes of the people were sabotaged and the accused is a former president.”
Arroyo’s husband said his wife feels the case is an injustice.
