Parangal kina Diokno at Aquino

Bilang parangal kay Jose Diokno, idineklara ni Pangulong Arroyo ang Pebrero 27, ika-17 anibersaryo ng kamatayan ni dating Senador Jose W. Diokno, na “a day of national remembering.”

“In Proclamation 558 signed Tuesday by Executive Secretary Alberto Romulo, the President cited the late jurist, nationalist and statesman for his steadfast struggle against the Marcos dictatorship and his valiant fight for the preservation of the country’s democratic institutions,” ayon sa ulat ng Gov.ph, ang opisyal na portal ng Republika ng Pilipinas.

Ayon naman sa INQ7, nilagdaan ngayon ni Arroyo ang isang batas na nagdedeklara kay Benigno Aquino bilang isang pambansang bayani.

Idineklara rin ng batas ang araw ng kanyang kamatayan, Agosto 21, bilang public holiday.
