President Rodrigo Duterte paid his last respects to the late priest Fr. Fernando Suarez in a visit at his wake on Friday.
He went to the wake at The Heritage Park in Taguig City and condoled with the priest’s family, says a report by GMA News.
The 52-year-old Suarez succumbed to a heart attack last Tuesday while he was playing tennis at the Ayala Alabang Clubhouse in Muntinlupa City.
