Rogelio “Roilo” Golez, who served as national security adviser under the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo, died at 71 due to a heart attack.<\/p>\n

Golez’s death was confirmed by his son, Para\u00f1aque Vice Mayor Rico Golez on dzRH on Monday, June 11.<\/p>\n

According to dzRH report, Golez went live on Facebook as he was having a radio interview on its Damdaming Bayan <\/em>program\u00a0<\/em>along with Cesar Chavez to discuss the Chinese military aircraft that landed in Davao City.<\/p>\n

ABS-CBN News also reported that Golez was supposed to have an interview over ANC early Monday about the country’s maritime row with China; however, it did not push through as Golez “felt unwell.”<\/p>\n

On Monday, some senators expressed their sympathies to the bereaved family upon hearing the news.<\/p>\n

Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” M. Angara, in a tweet, said he was \u201cvery surprised and saddened\u201d to hear of Golez\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n

\u201cCondolences to vmayor [vice mayor] @ricogolez and family. Was a highly respected member of the House. RIP [Rest in peace] Manong Roy,\u201d Angara wrote.<\/p>\n

Joseph Victor \u201cJV\u201d Ejercito, for his part, said, \u201cWith my deepest sympathies VM [vice mayor] @ricogolez on Cong. Roy\u2019s passing.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, House Majority Leader Rodolfo Fari\u00f1as also said, \u201cIt is with sadness that I post here that [Minority Leader] Danny Suarez just called me with the information that our former colleague, Roilo \u2018Roy\u2019 Golez, passed away due to [a] heart attack. May his soul Rest in Peace!\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chavez, who earlier interviewed Golez, tweeted, \u201cNakakagulat. Nakakalungkot. Nakapanghihinayang! Paalam (S<\/em>hocking. Saddening. Regretful! Goodbye) Sec @roilogolez.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born on January 9, 1947, in Looc, Romblon, Golez served as the country’s security adviser from 2001 to 2004 and became a congressman representing the 2nd District of Para\u00f1aque City for six terms from 1992 to 2001.<\/p>\n

He attended Philippine Military Academy and the United States (US) Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree major in mathematics and operations analysis.<\/p>\n

Back in the Philippines, Golez took up his Masters in Business Administration in the University of the Philippines (UP), graduating as class valedictorian.<\/p>\n

Golez, known for being a fierce advocate of the Philippines’ rights over the West Philippine Sea (WPS), was also a former Philippine Navy (PN) officer before he served as postmaster general under the administration of former President Ferdinand Marcos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
