Arroyo faces new trial over ‘Morong 43’ arrest

The Court of Appeals denied former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s motion to dismiss the P15-million damage suit filed by 6 members of the Morong 43. Morong 43 is the group arrested in February 2010 in Morong, Rizal, tagged by the military as communist rebels. Arroyo argued that the complainants failed to state a cause of action against her. In her motion to dismiss, Arroyo said the case was against the state, not her. Arroyo was still president when the arrest happened. A full trial on the case will now proceed.
