SUMAKABILANG-buhay ang dating Senador at human rights lawyer na si Rene Saguisag, pagkukumpirma ng kanyang pamilya nitong Miyerkules.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Papa and Lolo,” ayon sa anunsyo ng pamilya sa Facebook page ng anak nitong si Rebo Saguisag.
“We will soon announce details of the service honoring his life, and we look forward to the opportunity to gather and pay tribute to a life lived with integrity and purpose,” dagdag pa nito.
“Papa/Lolo has passed on, but his spirit will continue to inspire us to strive for a more just world,” anila.
Nagsilbi si Saguisag bilang senador simula noong 1987 hanggang 1992.
Bago ito, naging human rights lawyer ito mula sa panahon ng batas militar noong 1972 hanggang 1986.
Tumayo rin siyang spokesperson na noon ay kandidato pa lang sa pagkapagulo na si Cory Aquino.
