Bulacan honors late Mayor Ople’s life, legacy

“Sa kabila ng kanyang mataas na pinagmulan sa buhay, si Bokal Toti po ay namuhay ng payak, may kababaang loob. Isinilang at lumaki sa kaginhawahan, ngunit mas pinili niyang sundan ang tagubilin ng ama na huwag iwanan, bagkus ay paglingkuran ang Lalawigan ng Bulacan, lalo na ang Bayan ng Hagonoy na labis niyang minahal,” ," the governor said.

Both Fernando and Bulacan Vice Governor Alexis C. Castro recollected happy memories with the veteran politician who served as a provincial legislator for nine years. “Mahirap maghanap ng tunay na kaibigan sa politika pero nakita ko po kay Kuya Toti ang isang tunay na kaibigan, parang kapatid,” ," Castro said after dedicating a song entitled “You Raised Me Up” to Ople.Castro, together with the whole 11th Sangguniang Panlalawigan, handed over to the bereaved family a copy of Kapasiyahan Blg. 555-T’2023 which contains high honor and distinct recognition for Ople.

Former Board Member and Bureau of Customs Director Michael Fermin, Hagonoy Mayor Flordeliza Manlapaz, former Governor Roberto Pagdanganan, and First District Congressman Danilo Domingo also paid their tribute to the late Hagonoeño politician. Luis V. Ople, the eldest among the Ople siblings, thanked the Provincial Government of Bulacan for the heartfelt eulogy for his brother. He added that similar to their brother’s second name “Magdiwang,” the tribute was a celebration of Toti’s beautiful life as a public servant.After the necrological service, Ople’s wake was transferred to Cherubim of Heaven in San Pedro, Hagonoy where he will lie in state until July 21 when he will be laid to rest at the Hagonoy Catholic Cemetery.
