Pumanaw na ang dating Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) undersecretary na si Martin Diño nitong Martes ng madaling araw, ayon sa kaniyang anak na si Liza Diño-Seguerra.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Martin Diño, Former Undersecretary of the DILG. 'Bobot,' as he is fondly called, peacefully died at 2:15 am on August 8, 2023, surrounded by his family,” saad ni Diño-Seguerra sa Facebook.
Nagsilbi si Diño bilang DILG undersecretary sa termino ni dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. Bago ang kaniyang pagkatalaga sa DILG, pinamunuan din ni Diño ang Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), sa termino rin ni Duterte.
“Martin Diño was not only a dedicated public servant but also a loving husband, father, brother, and friend,” paglalarawan ni Diño-Seguerra tungkol sa kaniyang ama.
“His unwavering commitment to his responsibilities, his tireless work ethic, and his passion for service defined his life's journey. His contributions to our nation's progress, particularly on local governance and barangay development, will forever stand as a testament to his commitment to a better society,” dagdag ni Diño-Seguerra.
Nanilbihan din si Diño bilang chairman ng Violence Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) organization.
“He epitomized the spirit of advocacy, using his voice to champion the rights of the oppressed and fight against injustice,” saad ni Diño-Seguerra.
“Through VACC, he stood unwaveringly by the side of the marginalized, his dedication and commitment leaving an indelible mark on the fight for a better world.”
Nitong Hulyo, inilahad ni Diño-Seguerra na nakikipaglaban as stage 4 cancer ang kaniyang ama.
“During this challenging time, our hearts are heavy with grief, but we are comforted by the outpouring of love and support from friends, colleagues, and well-wishers. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have offered their prayers. His legacy of resilience, compassion, and a deep sense of duty will forever guide us,” saad niya. —Jamil Santos/KG, GMA Integrated News
