LAWYER Ferdinand Topacio expressed confidence on Tuesday that the accusations against former president and now Pampanga 2nd District Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo over P38.8 billion in Malampaya funds 'will be proven false.'

'We have not yet received any official copy of the complaint or complaints, so we cannot make any specific comments as of this time. Suffice it to state that based on newspaper reports, the complainant admits that the funds concerned were used for public purposes,' Topacio said in a statement.
