Arroyo visited by De Castro, Cruz

Former President Gloria Arroyo, who is under hospital arrest at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC), had unexpected visitors on Saturday: Vice President Noli “Kabayan” de Castro and Archbishop Emeritus Oscar Cruz.

Cruz, a staunch critic of the former President, said he paid the former leader a visit in the spirit of reconciliation, unity and compassion. He said that since her cases are already in court and she is under detention, the spirit of cooperation and reconciliation must be observed and reign in the hearts of the Filipino people.
