Arroyo Cabinet won’t stick around for Aquino inauguration
06/27/2010 The existing members of outgoing President Arroyo’s official family will be escorting her when she takes her oath of office as congress-woman at the Bren Guiao Center in San Fernando, Pampanga on June 30, thus leaving President-elect Benigno Aquino III’s inauguration ceremony ahead of time as well. Outgoing Presidential Management Staff (PMS) Maria Elena Bautista-Horn disclosed in her last on-air briefing to Palace reporters that they will be staying by Arroyo’s side all day on June 30 as agreed upon by all the remaining Cabinet secretaries. “We’ve been talking about it at the sidelines during our recent Cabinet meeting and we thought it would be better for us to send President Arroyo off by ourselves to her place where she will be serving (as congresswoman) for the next few years,” Bautista-Horn said over radio dzRB. Arroyo will be taking her oath of office as representative of the second district of Pampanga along with the other local officials there. Supreme Court Associate Justice Eduardo Antonio Nachura will administer the oath on Arroyo. Meanwhile, Bautista-Horn was delightful knowing that the public and the general media are noticing that the outgoing Arroyo administration is somehow living up to its promise of a smooth turnover of government so far. Proof of it was the meeting that transpired between the incoming presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda and the outgoing Malacañang spokesmen headed by Ricardo Saludo with his deputies, Gary Olivar and Charito Planas, at the Office of the Press Undersecretary last Friday....
