On The Death Of Rep Crispin Beltran

Kate and I express our sincere condolences to Rosario and the family of Ka Bel. We share in their grief and commiserate over their loss.

Certainly, he was a man of great conviction whose work as a labor leader had been seen and felt in the long years spent fighting for the welfare and interests of every Filipino working man. He made known a view that needed to be heard and represented. Congress and the Filipino people will sorely miss Ka Bel and the positions he stood up for.
