Kinumpirma ng kanyang anak na si Liza Diño-Seguerra, dating chairperson ng Film Development Council of the Philippines, ang pagpanaw ng ama matapos ang pakikipaglaban nito sa stage 4 cancer.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Martin Diño, Former Undersecretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). ‘Bobot’ as he is fondly called, peacefully died at 2:15 am on August 8, 2023, surrounded by his family,” pagkumpirma ni Liza sa pagpanaw ng ama sa isang post sa Facebook.
Bumigay ang dating opisyal bunsod na acute respiratory failure dala ng cancer.
“Former Undersecretary Martin Diño’s legacy extends beyond his distinguished role in government. As the former Chairman of the ‘Violence Against Crime and Corruption’ organization, he epitomized the spirit of advocacy, using his voice to champion the rights of the oppressed and fight against injustice,” pahayag pa ni Liza.
Sa isang post naman sa Instagram, ganito ang naging mensahe ni Liza sa ama: “You fought until the end; we all did. And you were surrounded by prayers of countless people whose lives you’ve touched.”
“Only God knows why, despite all the outpour of love and support, things have to come to an end—but for now, at least no more pain na papa ko. I love you so much. You’re always in my heart
