LENI SAYS CARDINAL ADVINCULA IS WELCOME AT HIS INAUGURATION

San Juan, Metro Manila, June 4, 2021 - President-elect Leni Robredo said he would invite Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincula to his inauguration, contrary to an earlier comment which Robredo later clarified as only a "joke".


Robredo has invited Mariano "Mike" Velarde, leader of the powerful group El Shaddai, to deliver the invocation during his inauguration, set at the Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan. She also reportedly offered Robredo the post of presidential adviser.


Earlier, Robredo's comment was that Advincula may find it difficult to join the inauguration rites because of the big number of people expected to attend. "Maraming tao doon; baka maipit siya," (Lots of people there, he might get trampled) was Robredo's comment.


Later Robredo clarified that the comment was not a snob. "Sin is the head of the church; we can work harmoniously together," Leni said.
