GMA NALULUKSA SA PAGPANAW NI EX-DBM CHIEF ANDAYA

Nagluluksa si dating President at incumbent Pampanga. Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo sa pagkamatay ni dating Budget Secretary Rolando Andaya Jr.

“Andaya was an indispensable and trusted member of our Official Family as he headed the Department of Budget and Management for 4 years,” ayon kay Arroyo.

“My family and I join those who mourn the death of Former DBM Secretary and Former Congressman Rolando “Nonoy” Andaya, Jr.,” dagdag niya.

Nagsilbi rin si Andaya bilang House Majority Leader at chairperson of the House Committee on Appropriations noong panahon ni Arroyo bilang Speaker ng 17^th Congress.

“As my colleague in Congress, he was an important ally who showed his meticulousness and dedication when he played a major role in cleaning up and fixing the National Budget,” saad ng dating Pangulo.  

“He was kind and down-to-earth, a good friend to many, and well-respected by his peers. The Bicol region has lost another son it can definitely be proud of. Dios an mabalos sa saimong karahayan, Sec. Nonoy. May you rest in peace,” dagdag pa nito.
