Honoring a Legacy: Presaging a New Era in Public Service

As we bid farewell to Rep. Edcel Lagman, we take a moment to reflect on his remarkable life and legacy. A true icon of public service and governance in the Bicol Region, Lagman left an indelible mark on the region he loved and served. In this blog post, we will explore the significance of Lagman's passing and how his leadership has presaged a new era in public service for young leaders in the First District of Albay.

A Life Dedicated to Public Service

Rep. Edcel Lagman was more than just a seasoned politician – he was a passionate advocate for the people of Albay and the Bicol Region. His dedication to public service spanned decades, earning him respect and admiration from colleagues and constituents alike. As former Vice President Leni Robredo so eloquently put it: "He will be terribly missed." The outpouring of tributes and condolences from fellow leaders in the region serves as a testament to Lagman's enduring legacy.

Guiding Lights for Future Leaders

One of Lagman's most remarkable contributions was his mentorship of young leaders. His guidance and wisdom helped shape a new breed of politicians, including Ako Bicol Rep. Gil Bongalon, Albay Acting Gov. Glenda Ong-Bongao, and her son, lawyer John Gio Ong Bongao. These individuals have gone on to make significant impacts in their own right, serving as a testament to Lagman's lasting influence.

A Legacy of Leadership

As we reflect on Lagman's remarkable life, it becomes clear that his legacy extends far beyond his impressive political career. His dedication to public service has inspired a new generation of leaders, who are now carrying the torch forward. The outpouring of tributes and condolences from fellow leaders in the region serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting impact Lagman had on those around him.

Presaging a New Era

As we look to the future, it's clear that Lagman's passing marks the beginning of a new era in public service. His legacy will continue to inspire and guide young leaders as they navigate the complexities of governance and policy-making. As we honor his memory, we also recognize the responsibility that comes with carrying on his work.

A Final Farewell

Lagman's remains will be brought to his residence in Sogod, Bacacay, Albay, on Sunday, February 2. He will then be transferred to the St. John the Baptist Parish Church on Tuesday, February 4, and flown back to Manila for necrological services at the House of Representatives on February 5. His final farewell will take place on Monday, February 10, with an interment ceremony at Loyola Memorial Park Marikina.

In Lieu of Flowers

In lieu of flowers, Lagman's family requests that donations be made for the restoration and repair of St. John the Baptist Parish Church in Tabaco City, which was declared a national cultural treasure in 2001. The church was devastated by Super Typhoon Rolly in 2020. Donations may be deposited to account number 253470002340, PNB Tabaco Branch (peso account), account name: Roman Catholic Bishop of Legazpi, Inc. St. John the Baptist Parish.

As we say goodbye to Rep. Edcel Lagman, we take comfort in knowing that his legacy will continue to inspire and guide future generations of leaders. His passing serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring our heroes and preserving their legacies for years to come.
