Uncle ni PNoy pumanaw sa aneurysm

PUMANAW na si Tarlac First District Rep. Enrique Cojuangco nitong Martes.

Sinabi ni House Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales II, si Cojuangco, 74, ay binawian ng buhay dakong umaga nitong Martes bunsod ng aneurysm.

Kinompirma ito ni Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. “We’re sorry about his untimely demise,” pahayag ni Belmonte.

Si Cojuangco ay nakababatang kapatid ng business magnate na si Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco Jr., at maternal uncle ni Pangulong Benigno Aquino III.

Bilang parangal kay Cojuangco, nangako si Belmonte na ipapasa ang nasabing panukala sa 16th Congress.

Sa kabilang dako, nagpahayag ng pakikiramay ang Malacañang sa pamilya ng mambabatas.

“We convey our deepest condolences to his bereaved family. Representative Cojuangco served for two terms and was known and admired for his professionalism and dedication to public service,” ayon sa Malacañang.
