Palace: Remonde a big loss to the administration
In a statement, Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said that the President Arroyo is “deeply shocked and saddened” over the passing of Remonde who “worked directly and closely” with her.
“Secretary Remonde is one of this administration's most competent, faithful and loyal stalwarts. His demise is clearly felt,” Ermita said on the Malacañang website.
“It's a very big loss [to the administration]. You know how good Cerge was as a press secretary,” he added.
Remonde, 51, succumbed to cardiac arrest at the Makati Medical Center on Tuesday morning. He was found slumped in the bathroom of his Makati Bel-Air home and was rushed to the hospital but doctors failed to revive him. He was pronounced dead at 11:51 a.m.
Remonde's remains lie in state at the Heritage Park in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. On Thursday, he will be brought to the Palace and will be flown to his hometown in Argao, Cebu on Friday for final interment.
