Ikinatuwa ng kampo ni dating Pangulo at ngayon ay Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo ang desisyon ng Korte Suprema na ibasura ang kaso laban sa kanya sa ilalim ng Aquino government.      “First and foremost, to God Almighty be all the glory and praise. Through His kindness and mercy, justice and righteousness have once again prevailed over injustice and wrongdoing,” ani Arroyo sa isang statement.      “I also extend my heartfelt appreciation to His Excellency, President Rodrigo Duterte, and to the honorable members of the Supreme Court,” dagdag pa ng dating Pangulo na naka-hospital arrest sa Veterans Memorial Medical Center.      Umaasa rin si Arroyo na wala ng susunod sa kanyang sinapit— ang makulong ng walang kasalanan.      “It is my fervent hope that nobody else will suffer the persecution that had been levied on me through self-serving interpretation and implementation of the law,” ani Arroyo. “And that the disregard of truth for which I was made to suffer be dealt with accordingly at the soonest possible time.”      Sinabi ni Arroyo na dapat manatili ang pananalig sa hustisya at umaasa siya na tatanggapin ng lahat ang desisyon ng Korte Suprema.     “Keep the faith in the justice system,” ani Arroyo sa isang pahayag.       “With the High Tribunal rendering a final decision on this unfortunate episode, I sincerely hope that everyone will respect and recognize the truth that has been established.”      Nagpasalamat din ang anak ni Arroyo na si dating Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo. “Thank God. They took away 6 years of her life. An innocent woman”      Sa pahayag naman ni Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, legal spokesman ni dating First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo, sinabi nito na ang pag-upo ng Duterte government ay nagdala ng mabuting pagbabago.      “The dawn of a new administration has brought about new hope for great positive change, which includes freedom from false and malicious accusations and unceasing lies and disinformation. We all join the new government in its fight against criminality, corruption and its economic and political reforms that will surely usher in a new golden age for our country and people.”
