Salamat Secretary Jesse: Tribute in Manila

It has been sad for the Filipino people especially the Bicolanos to lose a great leader like DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo in the ill-fated plane crash in Masbate. The remains of the late Sec. Jesse Robredo will be brought to Malacañan Palace tomorrow, August 24, and will be lying in-state at the Kalayaan Hall until Sunday. Expected arrival in NAIA from Naga is 10:30am.

At 10:00am, students and DepEd employees will line up the route from Villamor Airbase to Malacañan and wave yellow flags as a sign of giving honor to the late Secretary.

Route:

Villamor Airbase – NAIA Road – Roxas Boulevard – Padre Burgos Street – Finance Road – Ayala Boulevard – Ayala Bridge – Solano Street – Malacañang Palace
