MANILA, Philippines — Former national security adviser and Parañaque congressman Roilo Golez, whom his colleagues call a true patriot and public servant, was laid to rest Saturday morning during a service at Taguig City’s the Heritage Park.

Golez died of an apparent heart attack. He was 71.

Golez served as representative of the second district of Parañaque City for six terms, from 1992 to 2001 and from 2004 to 2013. He was appointed national security adviser under the Arroyo administration from 2001 to 2004.

Since leaving Congress, Golez has been very vocal about Beijing’s continued encroachment and militarization of the Philippine-claimed territories in the South China Sea. He often called out officials of the Duterte administration on the issue. — Ian Nicolas Cigaral
