Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon confirmed the passing of his father, who has been confined at the Asian Hospital since May 21 due to pneumonia. He was intubated from May 23 until June 3.
Born on April 14, 1935 in Batac, Ilocos Norte, Biazon took up mechanical engineering at FEATI University before he entered the Philippine Military Academy in 1957.Superintendent of PMA in 1986-87, Commandant of the Philippine Marines in 1987-89, Commanding General of the NCR Defense Command in 1988-90, Armed Forces of the Philippines Vice Chief of Staff in 1990-91.
“It was a gift to have been a novice senator during a time when Senator Biazon was still in office. I had the great fortune of learning from him and being inspired by his uncompromising public service—not just as a veteran legislator but also as a veteran military man, having been the chief of staff of the Armed Forces. He brought that same military discipline and commitment to his work in the Senate, and to every aspect of his life as a public servant,” he said.
Sen. Jinggoy Estrada said he had the chance to work with Biazon during the 13th and 14th Congress while his mother, former first lady and senator Loi Ejercito Estrada was his contemporary in the 12th and 13th Congress. Senator Francis Escudero lauded the decorated military general for serving the Philippines “impeccably” all throughout his more than five decades in government service.
“Indeed, much can be said about all that he has done for the Filipino people, from his time as a Philippine Marine to his years in Congress, but what remained true all throughout was his unwavering love for the Philippines.” “It was unforgettable not only because he had a crushing handshake, but also because it was the start of the many struggles we fought together,” she said.
In a statement, the Department of National Defense praised Biazon’s patriotism, integrity, and commitment to protecting the country’s interests and democracy. “His commitment to public service extended into his political career, serving as a senator who championed key legislation that advocated for the welfare of our countrymen,” AFP said in a statement.
