MANILA, Philippines -- President Benigno S. Aquino III paid his last respects to former Health Secretary and Senator Juan Flavier whose remains lie in state at the Church of the Risen Lord at the University of the Philippines campus in Diliman, Quezon City.
The President visited Flavier's wake with Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas on Friday following their inspection of major passenger terminals in Metro Manila in preparation for Undas this weekend.
President Aquino reportedly arrived at around 5:00 p.m. and extended his condolences to the late senator’s family. He stayed for about 30 minutes before heading back to his official residence.
Flavier died on Thursday due to multiple organ failure and sepsis attributed to pneumonia. He was 79.
