MANILA – The Department of National Defense (DND) on Friday expressed grief over the death of retired magistrate and Veterans Foundation of the Philippines (VFP) president Manuel Pamaran last Dec. 16.

“The Department of National Defense mourns the death of Justice Manuel Pamaran, President of the Veterans Federation of the Philippines (VFP), a former judge of the Sandiganbayan and a WW2 (World War II) veteran. He was 94 years old,” DND Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in a statement.

Lorenzana added that he picked Pamaran to lead the VFP in 2018 as he was confident over the magistrate’s management capability, having been an exceptional public servant, lawyer, and educator.

The DND chief said Pamaran was an avid and passionate advocate of veterans’ welfare, adding that the late justice’s love for the country knew no bounds.

This was proven by the fact that even during his twilight years, he had willingly accepted the call to become the president of the VFP, serving with utmost integrity, dedication, and excellence.

“For this, we are eternally grateful,” Lorenzana said.

He also expressed hope that Justice Pamaran’s family find solace knowing that he left behind an impeccable legacy of public service and goodwill.
