Nagpahayag ng pakikiramay ang Mababang Kapulungan ng Kongreso sa biglaang pagpanaw ni dating Marikina Rep. Bayani Fernando.
“It is with a heavy heart that we offer our condolences on the passing of former Marikina City Mayor and Representative Bayani Fernando, a dedicated public servant who left an indelible mark on the city of Marikina and our nation,” ayon kay House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
“His service as the representative for Marikina’s first congressional district from 2016 to 2022, as well as his tenure as Mayor of Marikina from 1992 to 2001, where he transformed the city into a model for others to follow, exemplified his commitment to progress and development,” dagdag pa nito.
Aniya, ang pamumuno ni Fernando ay lumampas sa Marikina, dahil nagsilbi rin itong chairman ng Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) mula 2002 hanggang 2009, kung saan ito ay walang pagod na nagtrabaho upang mapabuti ang kalidad ng buhay para sa hindi mabilang na mga Pilipino sa kabisera na rehiyon.
“His legacy of visionary leadership and dedication to the betterment of our communities will forever be remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. May he rest in eternal peace,” pahayag pa ni Romualdez.
Sinabi naman ni Quezon Rep. Wilfrido Enverga, ipinababatid ng Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) ang pakikiramay sa mga naiwang pamilya ng dating kongresista.
“We, in the Nationalist People’s Coalition, lost a sterling member and public service exemplar with the untimely passing of Mayor and Congressman Bayani Fernando,” sabi ni Enverga, tagapagsalita ng NPC.
