said that Alicia Morales-Arroyo's legal action against her husband
Rep.Ignacio "Iggy" Arroyo shows grit especially as she is up against
the powerful Arroyo clan.
"It takes extraordinary courage to go against a member of the
country's most powerful political family. Alicia Morales-Arroyo's
case promises to be a test of the Anti-Violence Against Women and
Children Law as to how far our justice system will stand
independently," she said.
"This issue brings to fore the seemingly insurmountable odds against
women like Alicia in such relationships where her life is on the
line," Maza added.
Maza further said that "This is also a case where the personal is
political." She explained that the very public accusation of
abandonment and lavish lifestyle cannot be separated from accusations
against the self proclaimed Jose Pidal's alleged ownership of 12 bank
accounts amounting to P260 million, a case that rocked the country in
2003 and which has reverberations until now. #
