He had not been swabbed for the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test so he was classified as a “probable” COVID-19 fatality.
De Vera served as municipal mayor from 1998-2007.
Councilor Amory Junio, his close friend, said he was scheduled to be buried at the Hands of Heaven Memorial Park on Saturday afternoon. YOLANDA SOTELO
