Eulogy for Former Sen. Ziga: Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian expresses his condolences to the family of former Sen. Victor Ziga during the necrological services held for the former senator Wednesday, February 10, 2021. Gatchalian said Ziga was not merely a statesman, lawyer and a business leader to him. He was also a family friend. He said Ziga came from an illustrious family: his mother was a senator while his father served as the governor of Albay and a member of the Congress. “Vic Ziga earnestly carried on this proud family tradition by making significant contributions to nation building in these turbulent times in our republic’s history. Throughout his distinguished career as a member of the Batasan Pambansa, cabinet secretary, and senator of the 8th Congress of the Philippines. Sen. Ziga embodied the patriotism, integrity and competence we should expect from every Filipino leader. I pray that God grant unto him eternal rest and let perpetual light shine upon him,” Gatchalian said. (Alex Nueva España/Senate PRIB)
