MANILA, Philippines – Former President Joseph Estrada and former Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. attended a healing mass for former president Corazon Aquino in Makati City on Thursday.
It was the second day of the nine-day novena for Aquino, who is confined at the Makati Medical Center due to loss of appetite, over two months after she underwent surgery for colon cancer.
Estrada was accompanied by his wife, former Senator Loi Ejercito, and their children, Senator Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada and Jackie Ejercito-Lopez.
De Venecia came with his wife, Gina. Also present during the noon mass at the Greenbelt Chapel was Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim.
Aquino's children, however, were not seen in the chapel.
