Noynoy not keen on seeing Gloria Arroyo at Cory's wake

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo may attend the wake of former President Corazon Aquino, but the latter's only son, Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, does not look forward to the presence of the chief executive.

Noynoy said that because his parents taught him politeness, Mrs. Arroyo could go to the wake and pray for his mother, who passed away early Saturday after battling colon cancer for more than a year. However, he said he was not keen on seeing Mrs. Arroyo pay respects to his mother, whose body lies in state at the La Salle Greenhills gymnasium in Mandaluyong City.

"May kalayaan naman po siyang dumalaw. At tayo po'y nung batang bata pa'y talagang parating inuulit ng ating ama at ng ating ina yung katagang di gawain ng edukadong tao 'yong pambabastos," the senator told GMANetwork's Jessica Soho in an interview Saturday night.

(She has the right to visit. Since I was young, my father and mother taught me that an educated person should not be impolite.)

Kung pupunta ho dito, kung gusto ho niyang magdasal, siguro ho eh thank you na rin ho. Pero yung point naman na I'm looking forward to it, I'm not)," Noynoy said.

(If she comes here, if she wants to pray, we'll be thankful. But if the point is if I'm looking forward to it, I'm not.)

The family opened the wake to the public Saturday afternoon, and by midnight, supporters had lined up on the sidewalk as far as EDSA despite the intermittent rains. Cars lined both sides of Ortigas avenue from EDSA up to Greenhills shopping center and security was tight, with a truckload of policemen stationed outside the school.

"If she shows up, then we'll welcome her. But an enthusiastic welcome is I think a bit too much to ask for," added Noynoy, in a separate interview with reporters.

Noynoy said his lack of enthusiasm had something to do with the many unresolved issues under the Arroyo administration.

"(W)e have all these issues that remained unresolved starting with "Hello, Garci, NBN-ZTE controversy to the fertilizer scam. I don't want to go through this list, which is quite extensive," he said.


Against Arroyo

In 2005, during the "Hello, Garci" controversy, Mrs. Aquino criticized President Arroyo for the alleged rigging of the results of the 2004 presidential elections. She also joined demonstrations pressing for Mrs. Arroyo's resignation over allegations of corruption.

In March 2008, during a big rally in Makati City, Mrs. Aquino told President Arroyo that "it's enough" and she should already step down from her post.

In December 2008, Mrs. Aquino also expressed regret for her participation in the 2001 People Power uprising that catapulted Mrs. Arroyo into power.

Mrs. Arroyo, who is still in the US for a working visit, earlier issued a statement joining the nation in mourning the death of Mrs. Aquino.

"Today, the Philippines lost a national treasure. Cory Aquino helped lead a revolution that restored democracy and the rule of law to our nation at a time of great peril," said Mrs. Arroyo.

"History was thrust upon her when her noble husband was cut down in the prime of his life as he fought for democracy and the rule of law. She picked up the standard from the fallen warrior, Ninoy, and helped lead our nation to a brighter day," she said.

The President, through the statement, announced a 10-day period of national mourning for the death of the country's democracy icon. - Aie Balagtas See, Andreo Calonzo, GMANews.TV
