'Let GMA Attend Wake'
MANILA, Philippines — President-turned-Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s request to visit the wake of her brother-inlaw, Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo, has earned the backing of Catholic prelates.
Bishop Jose Oliveros of the Diocese of Malolos said the Mrs. Arroyo should be allowed to visit the wake of the late congressman for “humanitarian and Christian reasons.”
Bishop Juan de Dios Pueblos of the Diocese of Butuan expects charity and compassion on the part of authorities to let the Pampanga congresswoman go to the wake of her brother-in-law.
