| Jesse Manalastas Robredo 1958 - 2012 |
A battalion composed of one platoon each from the PNP, Philippine Army, Air Force and Navy rendered the final salute for Robredo, with a firing party from the PNP and taps being played by Army band members. President Aquino himself gave the Philippine flag to Atty. Leni Robredo, the secretary's widow. Before the finals honors, a requiem mass was held at the Basilica Minore, followed by the conferment of the Legion of Honor, Rank of Chief Commander, to the deceased public servant who also served as mayor of Naga City.
Thousand of Bicolanos and people coming from other regions, even from the Visayas and Mindanao, came to Naga City to say their final goodbyes to Robredo, and an outpouring of sympathy and applause for the accomplishments of Jesse Robredo - and the kind of leadership he exhibited while in office - continue to spread all over the internet.
