READY FOR OCCUPANCY. The Veterans’ Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City is where former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will be confined while awaiting trial on charges of electoral sabotage. Medical Director Nona Legaspi says the presidential suite for Arroyo is ready. CHONA YU\/Radyo Inquirer 990AM<\/p><\/div>\n

MANILA, Philippines — The presidential suite of the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) in Quezon City is ready for occupancy, hospital Medical Director Nona Legaspi said Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is okay. The water pressure is very high,\u201d Legaspi said on Radyo Inquirer 990AM after accompanying [Local Government] Secretary Jesse Robredo on a ocular inspection of the place. \u201cHe wanted to see if everything was in order,\u201d Legaspi said.<\/p>\n

Legaspi described the presidential suite as a complex with a big sala, \u00a0a bedroom with single bed, \u00a0toilet and bath and air-conditioning unit, and with an adjoining room with a common bath room, kitchen dining room, prayer room and room for security.<\/p>\n

She said the bullet proof windows was made during the time of President Ferdinand Marcos.<\/p>\n

The presidential suite is being readied for former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who is facing charges for electoral sabotage before the Pasay City regional trial court Branch 112.<\/p>\n

The presidential unit was also occupied by former President Joseph Estrada during his hospital arrest while awaiting \u00a0trial for plunder in 2001.<\/p>\n

Legaspi said the Department of Interior and Local Government would have a meeting Friday to discuss the expenses and security matters during Arroyo’s stay.<\/p>\n

She said Arroyo could bring her own doctor, if she wished.<\/p>\n

\u201cVMMC is a closed hospital but given the situation, we are willing to waive,\u201d Legaspi also said.<\/p>\n
