Fernando Poe Jr.’s widow accused President Arroyo of stealing the presidency, as she called for Arroyo’s immediate resignation and rejected a public apology from the President.
Susan Roces, however, said she will not lead the opposition, although she will join mass actions that will press for the ouster of Arroyo.
“The gravest thing you have done is that you stole the presidency, not once but twice,” said Roces, referring to the popular revolt in 2001 that catapulted Arroyo to power and the alleged cheating in the 2004 polls that was said to have prevented Poe from becoming president.
