It is with sadness that I learned of the passing of Archbishop Oscar Cruz. My fervent prayers and sympathies to his family and bereaved loved ones.
Archbishop Cruz’s courage and firm resolve to defend what he believes is right and just for our people are remarkable. Walang takot manindigan. Walang dalawang isip sa pagtatanggol sa halaga ng buhay at dignidad ng Pilipino.
I remember his visit to me more than a year ago. He was a surprise visitor. He told me he wanted to see for himself my situation here. I felt his compassion.
May his soul rest in peace in the loving grace of our Almighty God.
Maraming salamat sa paglilingkod sa Maykapal at sa iyong gabay at pagmamahal sa ating bayan, Archbishop Oscar Cruz. ###
