Office of the Secretary
DepEd, Aug. 21, 2012

In a statement issued yesterday by Sec. Armin Luistro, DepEd joins the nation in mourning the passing of an icon of good governance and faithful stewardship. 

Robredo and Luistro even before they were named as Cabinet Secretaries.
"We in the cabinet mourn Sec. Jesse's passing as an icon of good governance and faithful stewardship."

"As a fellow Lasallian, I mourn an outstanding alumnus who has been an example of what it means to use one's gifts for service."

"As a Filipino, I am urged by Sec Jesse's legacy to continue to believe that there are good men and women who are willing to sacrifice and give their lives for the sake of our nation."

With this, he called the Filipinos to live by the examples started by Sec. Jesse.  "Isabuhay natin ang sinimulan ni Jesse!"

The statement emphasized that, with deepest sympathy, the DepEd family joins the nation in mourning the passing of untiring public servant DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo.

The statement also extended DepEd family's deepest condolences to the families of his companions, Capts. Jessup Bahinting and Kshitiz Chand.

"We stand in solidarity with their families and friends at this very difficult time of their lives," the statement concluded.
