President Duterte paid his last respects to former Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago before dawn on Sunday to send his condolences.
According to the report, President Duterte was supposed to go at 11:30 p.m. of Saturday but arrived late at around 1:45 a.m. on Sunday at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cubao, Quezon City, where the senator's remains were temporarily laid for public viewing.
President Duterte took a glimpse of Miriam's remains and talked to her widower Atty. Jun Santiago and her brother Benjamin Defensor shortly after. Then, he sat beside Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos who was seated at the left side of Atty. Santiago.
The President left the funeral chapel at about 3:13 a.m. without granting reporters any interview.
After the funeral Mass scheduled at 1 p.m. Sunday, the senator's remains will be brought to the Loyola Memorial Chapels in Marikina City before the final burial rites.
