The Senate of the Philippines on Monday, September 19 adopted Senate Resolution No. 14, which expresses the Upper Chamber’s condolences and honors the life of Queen Elizabeth II.
A copy of the resolution was then handed over to British Ambassador Laure Nicole Stephanie Beaufils.
Senate President Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri led the Senate in presenting to Beaufils the resolution expressing the Senate’s profound sympathy and sincere condolences on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
“We pay tribute to the Queen’s extraordinary reign and Her Majesty’s remarkable life of duty and service as head of state of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland and head of the Commonwealth,” Zubiri said.
“She will always be remembered as a symbol of stability who played a crucial role in our country’s history amidst these changing and challenging times,” the Senate leader further said.
