After his plane touched down at Villamor Air Base in Pasay City, Duterte and his entourage motored to Heritage Memorial Park in Taguig City, site of Pimentel's wake.Pimentel was the founder of PDP-Laban. The party's current president is his son, Sen. Koko Pimentel, while Duterte is its chairman. Pimentel, who was a fierce critic of former strongman Ferdinand Marcos, was also an advocate of federalism for the Philippines, which Duterte is also pushing for.

The democracy icon is survived by his wife and 6 children, including Koko Pimentel and human rights commissioner Gwendolyn Pimentel-Gana.
