R.I.P. Miriam Defensor Santiago

[Doc Alan]

Former Senator Miriam Santiago died peacefully in her sleep today ( 29 September ) at St. Luke's Medical Center in Bonifacio Global City.


She had announced she was suffering from lung cancer in July 2014. Around a tenth of such cancers are in non-smokers, like her - they usually have a better outlook than those occurring in smokers.

I was so saddened to learn about this.
I was a big fan of hers.
What a remarkable life she lived and what a remarkable lady she was.

RIP dear Miriam

I know nothing about her, as I don't really follow politics in the Philippines.
Jut the same:

RIP Ms Santiago.

We took a walk out this afternoon to the Loyola Memorial in Marikina as it's an easy couple of minutes stroll away.
