A picture conveys the simple Miriam Defensor-Santiago behind the toughness that she has always been known of.
SIMPLE MIRIAM – A Facebook post by Mechel T. Santiago, the former Senator’s daughter-in-law, showed the simplicity in the former Senator’s personality behind great achievements and numerous praises.
After a long battle against canc3r, the Iron Lady of Asia has finally ended the battle to be at peace on Thursday morning.
The post of her daughter-in-law in social media shows that the former Senator is a loving grandmother to her grand children – something that has remained behind the tough personality of MDS when in the Senate.
The several pictures that were put in collage summarize some of the great moments of MDS together with her grand children.
Along with the post is the caption, ‘Mahal na mahal ka namin, Ma. Hindi na po kayo mahihirapan ngayon. Kasama n’yo na po ang ating Panginoon. Maraming salamat sa inyong pagmamahal sa amin, sa inyong pamilya at sa ating bayan.’
[We love you so much Ma. Now, it won’t be hard for you anymore. You are with the Lord. A lot of thanks for all the love you have for us, for your family, and for our country.]
