Arroyo's fingerprints now with PNP

Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's fingerprints are now with the Philippine National Police.

National Capital Region Police Office chief Director Alan Purisima said, "Once we collect latent prints at the crime scene, we would match it with the fingerprints we collected."

Purisma said, "So if the former president, GMA (Arroyo) commits a crime and we collected her latent prints at the crime scene, it would be easy for us to solve the incident."

He added, "We have solved a big number of cases by cross-matching the latent prints of criminals and those stored in our database in Camp Crame. But we have no available figures as yet."

The Pasay City court filed charges of electoral sabotage, a non-bailable offense against Arroyo.

Purisma said, "We further encourage our citizens to report any crimes that may be happening in their community, preserve the crime scene, and submit pertinent information to their police. Their support and cooperation will lead to the eventual arrest of the perpetrators and early solution of any crime incidents." — ARA
