Napolcom official Rogelio Casurao; 66
Interior Secretary Eduardo Año mourned the death on Saturday of Rogelio Casurao, vice chair of the National Police Commission (Napolcom), whose death “left a void not only in Napolcom but also in the government.” Casurao, 66, was in public service for over 16 years. “Atty. Casurao is indeed a man of honor who left an indelible mark in the government service, having led an institution that works very hard to develop and transform our men and women in the Philippine National Police into respectable, principled and virtuous employees and public servants,” Año said. Casurao’s remains lie in state at Arlington Chapels along Araneta Avenue in Quezon City. He will be cremated on Wednesday. —JEANNETTE I. ANDRADE
