QUESTION #1: What consequence does Arroyo deserve for the crimes accused against her, if she is proven guilty?

Probably the most talked about issue in the country lately is former President and current Pampanga congresswoman Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and the cases that have been (finally) filed against her. Starting from her failed attempt to leave the country a few weeks ago due to "health problems," to the many medical statements argued on by her and the government's prescribed doctors, hear what the Ateneans have to say about this, being soon-to-be (or probably even already) voters and also as citizens of this country.

"She deserves the proper punishment set forth by the law, without any special considerations."

— Kokry Lacap, BS Legal Management

"I believe she deserves life imprisonment. No death sentence or anything morbid—let her see we are not as inhumane as she is. Let guilt do its job."
— Erika Paras, AB Political Science

"If GMA is proven guilty, she should be held liable for whatever crimes she committed and be given the rightful and just punishments her actions have made her deserve, whatever the law prescribes the punishments to be."
— Jamie Magcale, AB Psychology

"She should be punished the same way as former President Estrada was; she should be imprisoned."
— Ashley Maglaqui, BS Management Engineering

"(Arroyo deserves) whatever is stated in the constitution because it is the basis of the consequences that should be given to those who violate the law."
— Jose Adolfo Badiola, BS Psychology

"At the very least, she should lose her position in the government, because the very least of her crimes include election fraud. Why would you continue to support her position in the government when it's almost sure that she cheats? She should be put to Jail. No one should be above the law, no matter how powerful they are."
— Alex Cuaycong, BS Legal Management

"We should exile her to some far off place where she can die without us being bothered about it. *winks*"
— Albireo Imma, BFA Information Design

"Life imprisonment."
— Ram Anonas, BS Management Information Systems, Denzel Dion So, BS Legal Management and David Magbanua, BS Communications Technology Management

"A slow death."
— Joshua Ng, AB Psychology

"In my opinion, former president Arroyo should be locked in jail if ever she did commit the crimes she is accused of commiting. She should not be given house arrest, hospital arrest, or any other special considerations. She should be locked in jail like any other criminal."
— Christiana Maglalang, BS Management

"She should be allowed to travel for her medical needs."

— Jourdan Christopher Go, BS Management Information Systems

At the end of the day, in most of the Ateneans' opinions, Arroyo should be given the proper punishments said by the law, regardless of her position in and contribution to society. With regards to her medical conditions, although these are still inconsistent and debated about, she has the right to her health, but as she fully recovers from her illnesses, like any other unlawful citizen, she shall suffer the damage that she has given upon our country. Though we want fairness and justice for her, there will always be some who wish her the worst.
