Thus Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III eulogized former Senator John Henry ‘Sonny’’ R. Osmena who died last month at the age of 86.
In his speech, Sotto said that ‘’there’s always an Osmena casting his lot with the Filipino people along the important chapters of our nation’s history –from the end times of colonialism, to being a U.S. territory, a Commonwealth, up to the birth of the Republic of the Philippines and beyond.’’ ‘’The Osmeña brand of public service – humility with courage — began with their patriarch President Sergio Osmeña Sr. of Cebu.
An Osmeña may pass on and physically leave this earthly world, but their significant contributions in building our nation will forever remain,’’ Sotto said.‘’Your legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of the people, and your name will forever be etched in our country’s rich history,’’ he added.
