2nd disqualification case vs Arroyo filed
MANILA - Akbayan party-list Rep. Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel on Monday filed a petition before the Commission on Elections seeking to disqualify President Arroyo from running for Congress next year.
In a four-page petition, Hontiveros-Baraquel said Mrs. Arroyo should be barred from running in next year's polls because the Constitution bars the president and vice-president from running for re-election.
"If people in the two highest elective positions are barred for re-election, how much more a lower position? Mrs. Arroyo isn't even qualified to run for barangay tanod," she said.
She added that Mrs. Arroyo's congressional bid also violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution since she could tap government resources for her campaign.
Lawyer Oliver Lozano earlier filed a similar petition to disqualify Arroyo from running in next year's polls. He noted that the 1987 Constitution provides that "the president shall not be eligible for any re-election."
He said the word "any" refers to any elective post, and this includes Arroyo's bid to represent the 2nd district of Pampanga in the House of Representatives.

GUTOM SA KAPANGYARIHAN
The title of President is always president even after his/her office or even death, if the President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo prospers her candidacy for congress and wins a spot. How are you going to addressed her? President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo “GUTOM SA KAPANGYARIHAN” Her candidacy smells fishy to me and no integrity at all. If I am belong to Arroyo clan, what I would do? Hide in the US apply for citizenship and change my name.

I hope something good will
I hope something good will come out from these complaints. Arroyo is using all possible loopholes in our constitution and playing with it to her advantage, disregarding honor, integrity and delicadeza. I agree with her in declaring martial law because I consider the ethics of the situation. But I strongly oppose, just like most of the filipino people, her candidacy for a congressional seat.
Brilliant but a complete SHAME to our nation.
