MANILA -- PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo attended a necrological service for Philippine Star newspaper publisher Maximo
Soliven, at the Camp Aguinaldo military general headquarters Wednesday morning.
Arroyo, who was wearing a black pantsuit, was seated at the front row of the Saint Ignatius Cathedral with Soliven's widow, UNESCO Ambassador Preciosa Soliven.
Soliven died in late November in Japan following a bout with pneumonia. His burial was postponed due to super typhoon "Reming" (international codename: Durian).
Soliven was cremated and his ashes would be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes' Cemetery) in Fort Bonifacio later Wednesday, after the necrological service.
Soliven was a military reservist. During a necrological mass in late November, Arroyo conferred on him the Order of Lakandula.
