Lakas-Kampi-CMD lawmakers Tuesday said former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will be vindicated from all the charges hurled against her when the Truth Commission starts its investigation of alleged irregularities in government when she was president.

Maguindanao Rep. Simeon A. Datumanong also said there is no need for the creation of a Truth Commission since there are already government institutions assigned to do such an investigation.

"I do not see the need for a truth commission. The Ombudsman or the Department of Justice can do the job," Datumanong said.

"GMA will be able to defend herself and she is confident she will be vindicated. We believe she will be cleared of the charges," Datumanong added.

"We are confident that in any legal venue, President Arroyo will be able to disprove the unfair allegations against her," Quezon Rep. Danilo E. Suarez said.

"The former president will ultimately be vindicated even by the Truth Commission because she did not commit any wrongdoing during her term. She has served the people honestly and well," Suarez said.
