PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has resigned and Vice President Noli de Castro is set to take his oath as 15th President of the Republic of the Philippines.
The resignation was confirmed by Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita and Arlene Sinasuat-de Castro of incoming president Noli de Castro.
Angara however denied earlier reports that Arroyo signed a handwritten letter of resignation. He said that Mrs. Arroyo was about to do so until they learned that the Supreme Court justices had declared the position of president vacant and this made "moot and academic" the move to submit a letter of resignation.
Mrs. Arlene de Castro for his part said that she got her confirmation from three people inside Malacañang whom she declined to identify. She said she also learned that Mrs. Arroyo is planning to leave for the United States.
Meanwhile, eleven Supreme Court Justices, led by Chief Justice Reynato Puno, are now at the EDSA Shrine to administer the oath of the presidency to de Castro. Inquirer.net
