The nation owes a great debt of gratitude to the Osmena family for being there, every step of the way, from the conception of our nationhood to its full realization.
Thus Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III eulogized former Senator John Henry ‘Sonny’’ R. Osmena who died last month at the age of 86.
Osmena’s urn was placed on a flower-bedecked table at Senate session hall this morning. Senate Minority Leader Franklin M. Drilon and former Senator Nikki Coseteng also delivered their eulogies.
Former Senate President Manuel ‘’Manny’’ Villar was present during the rites.
A copy of Senate resolution expressing its sorrow and condolence over the demise of Senator Osmena was presented to the Osmena family, led by the late senator’s son, John John.
