Former Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice Edilberto Sandoval said the plan of Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales to appeal the victorious ruling of the Supreme Court for former president and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is a waste of time.
At the weekly news forum, Usaping Balita at Serye Restaurant in Quezon City, Sandoval said Morales should learn to accept the SC ruling being a former member of the chamber.
Morales, in a press conference Wednesday, said that they were still making another case build up allegedly to bring the former chief executive back to jail.
Sandoval said Morales should respect the Supreme Court ruling and just focus on how to make arroyo accountable for her other alleged crimes.
He added the decision must have hurt morales’ ego considering that she and her prosecutors had been confident all along that Mrs. Arroyo took part in the embezzlement of 366 million pesos in intelligence funds of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) from 2008 to 2010.
