MANILA, Philippines- Pumanaw na si Albay 1st district Representative Edcel Lagman nitong Huwebes sa edad na 82, ayon sa kanyang anak na si Tabaco City Mayor Krisel Lagman.
Sinabi ng alkalde na namatay ang kanyang ama ng alas-5:01 ng hapon dahil sa cardiac arrest.
“He left this world the way he lived his life – with integrity, compassion, and fearlessness. He fought until the end with the dogged determination, tenacity, and unshakable hopefulness that defined all that he stood for,” pahayag ni Krisel.
“He will be remembered and honored by his family, friends, and colleagues as a remarkable and generous father; a warm, thoughtful, and loving brother, uncle and lolo; a true and loyal friend; and an upright, principled, and unwavering advocate of human rights and the rule of law.”
