“The passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, a cherished sovereign, and a beneficent ruler, will be deeply felt by the Royal Family, the people throughout the United Kingdom, the realms, and the Commonwealth for whom she devoted the greatest part of her life to serve, and by countless people around world who witnessed and admired her reign as a great monarch who served her people well,” read House Resolution (HR) 346.
On Monday, Sept. 12, The HR was adopted in consolidation with three other measures: HRs 346, 349, and 350.
Majority Leader Rep. Mannix Dalipe motioned for the consolidated measure's approval during the plenary session led by House Speaker Rep. Martin Romualdez.
“During her tenure as head of state, great changes occurred such as the transition from the British empire to Commonwealth; post-war austerity measures; end of the Cold War; the United Kingdom’s entry into and eventual withdrawal from the European Union; and throughout these changes, Queen Elizabeth II embodied continuity and unity in the British Isles, guaranteed stability in moments of crisis, kept alive the value of tradition in a society of constant change and profound evolution, and provided inspiring leadership to her people,” the consolidated resolution continued.
“Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II was an instantly recognizable figure to billions of people across the world who served as an inspiration to many generations of public servants in all parts of the globe – a gentle, yet solid rock of stability who exhibited grace and decency in performing her duty in times of crisis; and a reassuring presence throughout decades of sweeping change,” it added.
A copy of the consolidated measure will be transmitted to the British Embassy in the Philippines.
