“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Papa and Lolo,” ang mensahe ni Atty. Rebo.

“We request that our family be granted a few moments of privacy as we grieve.

“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,” ang nakasaad pa sa naturang statement.

“Rene Saguisag was a dedicated public servant, and his tireless endeavors as a human rights advocate, senator, and writer stand as a testament to his unwavering commitment to justice, truth, and democracy.

“For him, expertise in law was a means to serve the poor and disenfranchised, and he provided free legal aid to those in need.

“We are grateful that, in his final months, he was able to spend time with relatives, friends, and countless supporters,” sabi pa ng pamilya ni Saguisag.
