De Lima, former head of the Depart- ment of Justice, said she was disap- pointed with and “disheartened” by the ruling, noting how the Sandi- ganbayan had repeatedly dismissed Arroyo’s plea for bail and demurer to evidence. But she said she had already fore- seen the favorable decision for Ar- royo after the SC allowed former Senator Juan Ponce Enrile to post bail in a plunder case due to health reasons. “It also crossed my mind (before) when the Supreme Court also grant- ed bail to former Senator Enrile… sabi ko baka isunod nila yung (I thought they would also do the same to the) case of the former President ’cause we’re seeing their situations and the Supreme Court seems to assume the role now of trier of facts,” De Lima said. “Kasi yung Sandiganbayan several times na yang ni-reject, the plea for bail and then demurrer to evidence etcetera (Sandiganbayan has reject- ed the the plea for bail and then de- murrer to evidence etcetera several times) because Sandiganbayan is the trier of facts ganun din sa case nun ni former Senator Enrile na im- bes na ipaubaya sa Sandiganbayan ang decision (the same as the case of Senator Enrile that instead of letting the Sandiganbayan decide) whether or not to grant the bail for the for- mer senator, the SC assumed that role, citing failing health or old age, for health reasons which is not even a ground because the only ground recognized by the Constitution and the law is the evidence of guilt is not strong.” “Now here’s the Supreme Court based on the news reports saying that the evidence of guilt is not strong, now supplanting again the assessment of the Sandigabayan as a trier of facts.
