Statement of the Secretary of Budget and Management Florencio Abad:
On the passing of the Secretary of the Interior and Local Government Jesse M. Robredo
[August 21, 2012]
We at the Department of Budget and Management join the nation in mourning the passing of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo, whose remains were recovered today in the waters of Masbate.
Many words have already been uttered to describe Sec. Jesse’s exceptional work as a public servant. His unflagging sense of integrity and diligence served as an example to many of his colleagues in and outside government, and these same qualities have made him a most valuable and highly regarded member of President Aquino’s cabinet.
Under his leadership, the DILG was able to make significant breakthroughs in establishing good governance practices among local government units and key government institutions. As brief as Sec. Jesse’s term was, we fervently believe that the reforms he championed in the DILG will be sustained faithfully long after his passing.
Even as we grieve, we look forward to a Philippines that continues to be inspired by Sec. Jesse’s passion for and commitment to public service. He was a rare man whose exemplary deeds spoke well and true for him. He will always be remembered as such.
