Senate President Pro-Tempore Jinggoy Estrada read President Joseph Ejercito Estrada’s statement before the proclamation of President-elect Noynoy Aquino. Erap’s acceptance of Noynoys proclamation was well received and was interrupted by applause from the Batasan audience several times. The salient parts of Erap’s speech were: “Today, as Congress completes its duty to canvass the votes to proclaim the new president of the republic, I humbly accept the final verdict borne out by the official results, and in accordance with the process ordained by our Constitution. I sincerely offer my congratulations to my good friend and worthy opponent, President-elect Simeon Benigno Aquino III, on his impending proclamation as the duly elected President of the Republic of the Philippines. I join the Filipino people in extending my whole-hearted support to the 15th President of the Republic under whose leadership the country now looks to the future with highest hopes that he will serve our country faithfully and honorably.
