He was 54.
“May malungkot tayong balita. At 7:25 this morning, yung volunteer divers natin nakita ang fuselage. May mga katawan sa loob pero ‘di nila talaga ma-identify. Nung nakalapit sila at about 7:45 am, may mga indications na isa doon sa mga katawan sa loob ng fuselage ay kay Sec Robredo. At that was at about 7:45 (am),” Transport Secretary Mar Roxas said in a press briefing shortly after 9 am Tuesday in Masbate City.
RIP Sir!
