In this hour of grief, Sanlakas Party-list together with the exploited masses of the Filipino nation are one with oppressed classes of all nations in mourning the loss of one of the greatest champion of social justice and democratic reform in the last decade.
We realize that no amount of words could ever make the perfect eulogy for a Hugo Chavez. For he is an exceptional intellectual who went against the tide, an illuminating leader who steered millions to struggle, a resolute commander of the global resistance against the neo-liberal world order.
The Filipino nation could only envy the Venezuelan people for they were gifted with a Hugo Chavez for fourteen years institutionalizing people-centered reforms while we suffer from a spoiled-brat of a landlord sitting idly in the presidential palace.
Hugo's militancy, charisma and political wizardry did not only impress the world but more importantly it inspired every exploited and downtrodden factory worker, peasant, tribesman, government employee, foot soldier and other deprived sectors which bear the weight of both imperialist greed for profit and rotten political puppet to struggle against their dictates.
It is our sincerest hope that the glorious Bolivarian revolutionary tradition remain to be the bailiwick of genuine democracy and the seedbed of revolutionary fervor not only in Latin America but the rest of the world. May Hugo's example serve us well and the succeeding generations to continue the struggle till this system of greed and injustice sowed by the oligarchs be trampled once and for all.
Mabuhay ka, Commandante Hugo Chavez!
Mabuhay ang pakikibaka ng mga api't pinagsasamantalahan sa buong daigdig!
