/ 06:59 AM February 23, 2012

MANILA, Philippines — Security tightened Thursday around the vicinity of the government-run hospital where former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has been confined as she prepares to leave for her scheduled arraignment before a local court.

Arroyo is charged with electoral sabotage of the 2007 polls.

Security officers from Quezon City were seen stationed at Gate 1 of Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC), and more police mobiles were seen arriving as early as 5  a.m., a few hours before Arroyo goes to Branch 112 of the Regional Trial Court of Pasay City.

Arroyo’s  arraignment is set at 8:30 a.m.
