,\u201d Galvez said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe passing of Senator Pimentel is a major loss for our nation. But his vision, dedication and love for our country will forever be etched in our hearts and minds,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Pimentel passed away at around 5 a.m., Sunday, after battling with lymphoma or cancer of the immune system. He was 85.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Galvez said Pimentel will always be remembered for dedicating his life as a true statesman and public servant.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Pimentel was a statesman and a public servant in the genuine sense. He dedicated his entire career in government to rally the cause of the marginalized, underserved sectors of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Pimentel was Senate President from November 2000 to July 2001.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
As a legislator, Pimentel was acknowledged for his contributions to the passage of Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1971; RA 6734 or the Organic Act for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM); RA 6847 or the Philippine Sports Commission Act; RA 6938 or the Cooperative Code of the Philippines; and, RA 7076 or the People\u2019s Small-Scale Mining Act.<\/p>\n

Galvez recognized Pimentel as a \u201cfearless champion of democracy who took to the streets to fight for rights and freedom of the Filipino people.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also acknowledged the late lawmaker\u2019s contributions to empower local officials in the country and introduce transparent governance practices through RA 7160.<\/p>\n

The presidential peace adviser was also thankful for Pimentel\u2019s support for the passage of the Bangsamoro Organic Law, which created the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), in place of the now-defunct ARMM.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Galvez also honored Pimentel for being a member of the Consultative Committee that drafted the proposed federal charter, which seeks to amend the 1987 Constitution to pave the way for a federal form of government.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will also be remembered for his push for a federal form of government, which for him, would bring more inclusive growth and development to the country. Despite his failing health, the welfare of his fellow Filipinos remained his primary concern,\u201d Galvez said.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
