THE PRESIDENTIAL Commission on Good Government yesterday said Imelda Marcos, the widow of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, was in violation of the terms of a permit to travel granted to her by a Manila court when she asked for an extension of her trip to the United States and Europe after she had already left the country.

This offense merited the cancellation of any bail granted to Imelda by the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court, said PCGG Commissioner Ruben Carranza.

The 75-year-old former first lady is out on bail after the Sandiganbayan ordered her arrest in 2001 on four graft charges stemming from her family's alleged funneling of billions of pesos in ill-gotten wealth to Swiss banks.

Carranza also questioned why the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 26 which granted Imelda's request to travel for a period of 30 days from Oct. 2 allowed her to travel to London which was not part of her requested itinerary. She left the country on Oct. 5.

On Oct. 22, Imelda's lawyers filed a motion with the Manila RTC asking that she be allowed to extend the period of her travel until Nov. 12. She claimed that her doctor in New York needed to conduct a follow-up examination after Nov. 5 and that her doctor in London also scheduled an appointment with her for Nov. 6.
