Before June 30: Gloria prepares to leave; Noynoy takes a rest
By Angie Rosales and Aytch dela Cruz 06/02/2010 Two count downs: One is packing, the other one seems not ready yet, he’s taking a break! Malacañang has started tabbing numbers in anticipation of President Arroyo’s exit 28 days from now, with Arroyo preparing for her last official function when she turns over her post as Chief Executive on June 30 to presumptive president-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, who apparently mindful of the weight of the task he he is about to take, went on a week-long “hiatus” which started yesterday. The Aquino camp yesterday issued a notice to “friends and members of the media,” announcing Aquino’s taking a vacation in an undisclosed destination. He will be gone until Sunday. “Media concerns may be fielded to Senator Aquino’s spokesman, Edwin Lacierda,” the senator’s camp said in the advisory. Aquino, in discussions Monday night with reporters at his Quezon City residence, would not provide details of his vacation. He also refused to entertain queries if he would be bringing along his girlfriend, re-elected Valenzuela City councilor Shalani Soledad. Except for some of his security staff, Aquino would not reveal his companions, only that among his plans is to watch movies on DVD while on vacation. He said he needed a break, after almost three months of campaign and in anticipation of a heavy work load in Malacañang.
