A true patriot departs
Anakpawis Rep. Crispin Beltran has been diagnosed as “brain dead” at the Far Eastern University hospital in Quezon City after falling from the roof of his home in Barangay Muzon Tuesday morning.
Crispin Beltran is a true “anak pawis.” A former labor leader who was elected to Congress as a party list representative, Beltran never strayed from his mission to uplift the less fortunate among us. He made his Batasan colleagues uncomfortable with his honesty, humility and disdain for the trappings of power. He was detained for over a year by the Arroyo regime on trumped-up charges because he refused to compromise his principles and sell-out his constituents.
Beltran is a hero. He fought the good fight honestly, selflessly, and fearlessly.
