PGMA Scheduled her trip to MAguindanao

President Arroyo spokesman said on tuesday that PGMA will go to Maguindanao this week to release a command conference and to comfort the families of 57 victims of the awful massacre in the said province last week. According to Press Secretary Cerge Remonde, the peace and order situation in Maguindanao had to be taken into consideration that's the reason why the president scheduled her trip to the province a week after the massacre.

Remonde told reporters"It would be very irresponsible for any president to go when the authorities have not yet secured or restore order (in Maguindanao)," after a rally in support of Mrs. Arroyo's congressional bid in the Second District of Pampanga.The Concerned members of the Ampatuan Clan will only look for a review of thier expulsion from lakas-kampi CMD once they have been cleared of any engagement in the massacre said Remonde.

"They stand charged of crimes against humanity. They stand charged of something that has become a big black mark against the nation and therefore, they have to clear themselves first before they can stand before the honorables of the ruling party and the administration."Remonde also said about the ruling party will reconsider the expulsion of the Ampatuans.Right away, after awful killings,the Lakas-Kampi CMD National Executive Committee, upon the recommendation of former Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr., the party chairman, had discharge Maguindanao Governor Andal Ampatuan Sr., Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr., and ARMM Gov. Zaldy Ampatuan, who is also Lakas- Kampi CMD regional chairman.
