FEISTY MIRIAM ON JUAN FLAVIER: “When I was sometimes tired or bored or downhearted, I would saunter to Johnny's desk and engage him in a chat, confident that I was sharing a companionable time with an honest man; a good man; a great man,” Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago said in her eulogy for former Senator and Health Secretary Juan Flavier. Flavier’s ashes were brought to the Senate at 9:30 a.m. Monday, November 17, for necrological services. (PRIB Photo by Joseph Vidal/17 November 2014)
