The remains of Labella were transferred to the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral through a procession led by Navy forces followed by the Labella family, city officials, and supporters. “As a grateful people, we know how he served the City of Cebu…I remember, Mayor said that in 1998, he was one of the passengers of the ferry MV Princess of the Orient which sank due to Typhoon Vicky, and he said that since he was one of the survivors, it must be because he has a mission.”

“The five of us, Nonoy, Tito Boy, Ate Baby, and myself, lost our mother who was struck by cancer at 42. Our brother at that time was only 20 years old…while young people in their 20s were busy building their futures, Nonoy took up the task of raising us newly bereft of a mother,” narrated Ethel. “Noy, nidie down na gyod ang COVID, Noy. The way you wanted to. We will miss you miss so much, Noy,” she said.
