Social and political criticisms
The death of fmr cabinet secreatry did a lot of good things for him: those who blocked his appointment took kinder and view towards him and many immortalized him even at PDI as bayani. Makabayan. He sure did a lot of good things which is normally expected of a public servant and did a lot of unique things as a person, wore slippers, had a frugal life. In fairness, he was an RM awardee.
There are those who are wondering if he were alive, he would receive the same accolade he just received. We tend to honor the dead by saying many good things about him/her. We pay tributes to honor the person. death has a tendency to make us lionize the memories of a man. And even make him/her larger than life.
May his soul rest in peace and God Bless him.
