Bongbong Marcos visits wake of Miriam Santiago

Bumisita si dating Senador Bongbong Marcos (BBM), kasama ang asawang si Liza Araneta-Marcos, sa burol ni dating Senador Miriam Santiago sa Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Quezon City. Namatay si Santiago kahapon, September 29, 2016, dahil sa sakit na Lung Cancer.

Sa Facebook page ni Bongbong Marcos, nagbigay siya kaagad ng pahayag noong nalaman niya na pumanaw na si Santiago. Sabi niya,

“Words cannot begin to express the deep sadness that not only I and my family but the entire country feels at the devastatingly sad news of Sen Miriam’s passing. Our beacon of wisdom, intelligence and ever-present humour and good sense has flickered out. She leaves the world less wise, less bright and sadder. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this sad, sad time. We take solace knowing that now there will be fewer tears in heaven #RIPMiriam”

Matandaang magka-tandem si Santiago at BBM noong 2016 Election at magkatabi pa sila ng anim na taon sa Senado. Kaya masasabi ng karamihan na matalik silang magkaibigan.

Sabi pa ni BBM na hinding hindi daw niya makakalimutan si Santiago.
