Saddened to hear of the passing of former Philippine President Benigno Aquino III yesterday. He was 61.
I had the pleasure of meeting President Aquino many times over the years, including when he visited Singapore in 2014. We worked together to strengthen the ties between our two countries, and to advance regional cooperation in ASEAN and APEC.
President Aquino had a lifetime of illustrious public service. He served in the House of Representatives, then the Senate, and later the Presidency.
He felt a strong obligation to serve, especially due to his family history – both his parents were prominent political icons in the country. As President, he brought stability and rapid economic progress to the Philippines, and pursued policies that improved the lives and well-being of his fellow countrymen.
My heart goes out to his family, and to the Filipino people. His passing is a great loss to the Philippines. – LHL
