Deedee Siytangco, ex-spokesperson of Cory Aquino, dies

Lourdes “Deedee” Munson Siytangco, who served as spokesperson of then President Corazon Aquino has died, her daughter said in a Facebook post.

She was 83.

"It is with heavy hearts that our family announces the passing of our dearest mother Deedee Siytangco," Margaret Tipton-Siytangco said.

Siytangco's wake will be at the Heritage Park in Taguig City starting on Saturday, September 30 at 4 p.m. until Tuesday, October 3 at 10 a.m.

Her family asked the visitors to come in white or yellow, not just black.

Siytangco was one of the founders of Bulong Pulungan, which started as a lifestyle forum and then evolved into a forum for political, business and other issues.

She also served in a number of civic organizations and wrote a column for the Manila Bulletin. —LDF, GMA Integrated News
