The body of the late Interior & Local Governments Secretary Jesse Robredo leaves Naga and arrives in Manila Friday for a two-day wake to allow the public in the capital to mourn the reformer. His plane crashed Saturday, August 18 off the coast of Masbate. His aide-de-camp P/Supt Jun Abrazado is the sole survivor. The two pilots, 60 year old Jessup Bahinting and 21 year old Kshitiz Chand, also died in the crash. Robredo’s body was recovered nearly three days later on Tuesday, Aug. 21.
