Pakikiramay kay yumaong DILG Sec. Robredo, patuloy na bumubuhos

Patuloy na bumubuhos ang pakikiramay nitong Martes para sa yumaong Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo matapos makumpirma ng mga awtoridad ang kanyang pagkamatay sa naganap na plane crash sa Masbate noong Sabado. Nauna nang kinumpirma ni Transportation Secretary Mar Roxas na narekober na ang mga labi ni Robredo nitong Martes ng 8:15 ng umaga.

 

Sa isang briefing sa Masbate, inihayag ni Roxas na natagpuan ang katawan ni Robredo sa lalim na 180 feet sa loob ng fuselage ng Piper Seneca plane na bumagsak malapit sa Masbate noong Sabado ng hapon.

 

"'Yung unang sumabak na mga tech divers 'yung mga puti na nakita natin kahapon, si Matt at ang kanyang team na dalawang babae. At 8:15, kumpirmado na 'yung isa sa mga katawan ay 'yung kay Sec. Jess Robredo," ani Roxas.

 

Matapos lumabas ang balita, agad na nanawagan si retired Archbishop Oscar Cruz na magsagawa ng hero's burial para sa yumaong opisyal.

 

“Maraming pasasalamat at natagpuan din. (Sana) mabigyan siya ng disenteng paglilibing, sana malagay sa Libingan ng Mga Bayani,” ani Cruz sa panayam ng dzBB radio.

 

Pinuri rin ni Cruz ang hindi pag-aabuso ni Robredo sa kanyang kapangyarihan at paglalayo mula sa korapsyon.

 

Bilang Kalihim ng Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), pinamunuan ni Robredo ang Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, at Bureau of Jail Management and Penology.
