THE Sandiganbayan allowed former President and Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to travel to Europe for stem cell treatment and a vacation.
In a resolution, the anti-graft court allowed Arroyo to travel to Munich, Germany; Paris, France; and Hong Kong despite the two graft charges leveled against her in connection with the allegedly anomalous National Broadband Network-ZTE deal during her presidency.
In her travel motion, Arroyo said she will travel with her husband, Jose Miguel Arroyo, to Munich for a medical consultation from September 20 to 29, and for a vacation in Paris from September 29 to October 2. The former first gentleman is Arroyo’s co-accused in one graft charge.
