Nanawagan ang broadcaster at senator-elect na si Raffy Tulfo kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na parangalan ang pagpanaw ng beteranang aktres na si Susan Roces sa pamamagitan ng pagdedeklara sa kanyang libing bilang isang, “national day of mourning.”
Inirekomenda rin ni Tulfo na kilalanin si Roces bilang isang national artist posthumously.
“We ask President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to declare a national day of mourning on the day of her burial. Rep. Jocelyn Tulfo (Raffy Tulfo’s wife) will file a House Resolution next week extolling Ms. Susan Roces’ legacy and recommending her nomination for posthumous National Artist honors,” aniya sa isang pahayag nitong Sabado, Mayo 21.
Si Tulfo, sa ngalan ng kanyang pamilya, ay nagpaabot din ng kanilang pakikiramay kay Senator Grace Poe at sa mga nagmahal at lubos na humanga sa yumaong aktres.
“Few celebrity icons are as loved as Ms. Susan Roces. Hindi mawawaglit sa alaala naming mga taga-hanga niya ang kanyang ‘di mabilang na mga pelikula, programang pang-telebisyon, at patalastas,” dagdag pa ng broadcaster.
