Such a terrible loss for this country.
Sir Roilo Golez was a voice of reason and dissent at a time when so many retired military officials choose to remain silent over the injustice and agression being commited against the Philippines in the South China Sea.— Jamela Alindogan (@jamelaaisha) June 11, 2018
The sudden and untimely demise of @roilogolez should make us all consider to GO-less in 2019.
PH should not compromise on its choice of leaders.
From the towering Roilo, who didn't even attempt to seek a Senate post, to the Special Ass Bong?
Naman. Simply unacceptable.

Its own appointed limits keep;

For those in peril on the sea. AMENThank you for your service.
Smooth sailing, Sir. pic.twitter.com/9zHVYMyMpz
