He also institutionalized November 25 of every year as the ‘National Day for Youth in Climate Action’.

“He selflessly dedicated his life to public service, and was a formidable beacon of uprightness and incorruptibility during his administration. But, I am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to know him beyond work. Because behind that seat of power was a simple man, who beams with humility, inspiration and hope for the country.

“I cannot thank him enough for the trust and confidence that he bestowed on me. And, I am truly honored to have served the Filipino Youth under his leadership.

“He will be in our prayers, and we will always be deeply thankful for his service to the nation and to this generation. We know that He has seen his good work and that he is already with Him, resting in heaven’s glory.”

Si Roselle, anak ng star builder at Regal Films matriarch na si Lily Monteverde, nagsabing, “On behalf of the Monteverde Family, it is with great sadness that I mourn the passing of our Former President Benigno ‘NoyNoy’ Aquino III. He was a son to my mom, a family to us, a passionate and profound leader to our country.

“I offer my deepest condolonces to the Aquino family and to our fellow Filipinos. He has truly made his mark as a leader towards progress and continuing democracy. We honor his legacy he left behind.

“May our Lord rest the soul of our Former President in peace.”

As for Ogie, binalikan niya ang panahon na nag-abay ang dating Pangulo sa kasal nila ni Regine Velasquez.

Aniya, “Si Pnoy ay naging abay sa aming kasal at magmula noo’y nabuo ang isang pagkakaibigang tunay at tapat. Napakaraming salu salo na nauuwi sa kantahan sapagka’t napakahilig nya sa musika. Kapag nabibisita namin siya ay laging nagpapatugtog ng mga paborito nyang CD.

Sa mga nagdaang taon, walang patid ang kumustahan sa text lalo na tuwing may espesyal na okasyon. Noong pumanaw ang aking ama, isa sya sa di nakalimot na mag abot ng pakikiramay. Nitong mga huling araw ay tuloy pa rin ang aming komunikasyon. Labis na labis ang kalungkutan bumabalot sa akin sa iyong pagpanaw sir Pnoy. Napakapalad ko sir Pnoy na ako ay tinawag mong kaibigan. Pahinga na po kayo sir. Mahal ka namin.”
