Palace condoles with ex-DFA chief Yasay’s family

By Prince Golez

Malacañang offered on Friday its condolences to the family of former Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay Jr. who succumbed to pneumonia Friday.

“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones of former Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay, Jr, who died today, June 12,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.

Yasay served as Foreign Affairs Secretary from June 2016 until March 2017. He was forced to step down after the Commission on Appointments rejected his appointment over citizenship issues.

Upon his retirement in government service, he served as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Philippine Christian University.

“As we pay tribute and honor Secretary Yasay, we offer our sincerest prayers to the Almighty to grant him eternal repose,” Roque also said.
