Senate Minority Leader Aquilino ‘’Koko’’ Pimentel III expressed on Monday Aug. 1 his ‘’deepest condolences’’ to the family and the loved ones of former President Fidel V. Ramos (FVR), the father of the Edsa Revolution and the man who once turned the Philippines as Asia’s "Economic Tiger".
Pimentel said President Ramos shall be remembered as the man who sincerely pursued people empowerment and implemented many reforms and innovative ideas such as the Build Operate Transfer (BOT) Law.
‘’Maraming nagawa si FVR na napapakinabangan hanggang ngayon ng mga sumunod na administration (President Ramos did many things that the succeeding administrations continue to benefit now),’’ he emphasized.
‘’Rest in Peace President Ramos. Please say hello to my Tatay Nene in Heaven,’’ he added.
He was referring to his father, the late Senate President Aquilino ‘’Nene’’ Q. Pimentel Jr., who died on October 20, 2019.
