Arroyo visits family of road accident victim

SAN ISIDRO, Nueva Ecija : President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo personally expressed sympathy and extended assistance to the family of Leopoldo Odulio, the 60-year-old man, who died in a vehicular accident during her latest visit in the province.

Mayor Sonia Lorenzo of this town said the Odulios were very thankful that the Chief Executive had to attend to them personally despite the fact that what happened was an accident and she was actually not directly involved."

She has since wanted to visit the family. Kahit hindi naman niya talaga alam ito," Lorenzo said.Odulio was backriding a single motorcycle when it was bumped by a military truck that transports the K-9 units used earlier for security when she led the inauguration of a bridge in the nearby town of Cabiao.

Two others were hurt during the accident.Fourth Dist. Rep. Rodolfo Antonino said Mrs.Arroyo put up a thrust fund for the education of Odulio' 12-year old son, Roy, and business capital for the family.

She also encouraged Juliet, the daughter, to finish her computer studies. Julieta supposedly stopped attending school with still one year to finish the course."

Dati na nating nakikita 'yang sinseridad ng pangulo. Ngayon alam naman natin na pwede niyang iutos na lamang ito pero ganoon talaga katindi ang kanyang concern sa pangyayari na ito," Antonino stressed."

Lahat po ng kailangan namin ay ibinigay niya," Julieta said.
