Ople, who was 76, died in a hospital in Taiwan after his flight to Bangkok from Tokyo, where he had been attending trade talks, was diverted. 


His brief tenure as a senior Cabinet figure began in July last year when President Arroyo plucked him from the Senate, where he held positions in several committees, overseeing some 110 international and bilateral treaties.
