I watched this from beginning to end – the requiem mass, the 19 gun salute, Pres. PNoy’s eulogy/tribute but Leni’s response as recorded in this video is the one I love best. He was an ideal father, an ideal husband, a man who loved his family and found time to be with them despite his being busy with his government post as Secretary of DILG. The President conferred on him a posthumous Philippine Legion of Honor, with the rank of Chief Commander, and presented it to his wife, Atty. Leni Robredo.
You can never put a good man down. He will always occupy a special place in your heart.
I salute you SEC. ROBREDO for making us so proud that good governance is not lost in our country. May this be a wake-up call to those government officials who only think of their own selfish motives instead of sincerely serving the people. It’s never too late to put into action what they promised to do and serve the Filipino people with sincerity just like you did.
