“Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace”
Dear Mayor BF,
There are no words sufficient to express the profound loss Marikina now feels. It is a somber realization that we will never again have the privilege of being led by someone of your caliber in our city. I state this with absolute certainty, as no one has ever come close, nor shall they ever.
You have been an exemplary public servant, leader, father, mentor, and chairman. Your influence has motivated individuals like myself to contribute in any way possible for the betterment of Marikina. You have set in motion a wave among us that will persist in propelling us towards public service. I find inspiration in your unwavering example.
Thank you, Mayor BF. Your memory will forever remain in my heart, and I will hold fast to the lessons you imparted. Idol kita.
