REMEMBERING SEN. MIRIAM: Senate President Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III recalls the life and legacy of former Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago during her wake at the Cathedral Grottos of the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral in Quezon City on Saturday, October 1, 2016. Pimentel, who studied Constitutional Law under Santiago during his days at the University of the Philippines, earlier said that Santiago always stood on the side of what was moral, what was legal, what was constitutional, and ultimately what was good for the Filipino people. "Her example will inspire not only more patriotic Filipino women to go into public service, but countless more of our young who have looked up to her as our moral compass," the Senate Chief said. Santiago, 71, passed away last September 29, and will be interred at the Loyola Memorial Chapel and Crematorium in Marikina City on Sunday, October 2, 2016.
