Foreign Affairs Secretary Locsin mourned the passing of former President Noynoy Aquino.
On Thursday, Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr mourned the passing of Former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III.
In his Twitter post, he said that he’s out of Twitter from grief over the death of “a sea-green incorruptible, brave under armed attack, wounded in crossfire, indifferent to power and its trappings, and ruled our country with a puzzling coldness but only because he hid his feelings so well it was thought he had none.”
Locsin also honored Aquino’s mother, the late former President Corazon Aquino, in his series of tweets on his Twitter account.
“It was the way he and his siblings were raised by a great woman—their mother and of our restored democracy (without her none in power yesterday and today would be). She created the democratic space that made it possible. She believed that one must never let oneself go no matter the occasion or provocation,” Locsin said.

no matter the occasion or provocation; showing feelings was vulgar which I too believe but am guilty of. It is a hard ethic. Blood always shows. I beg his sisters to allow me the honor to share their grief. He wasn’t fond of me but I could not bring myself not to admire him.
