Minority senators have filed a resolution honoring former Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Dinky Soliman for her “invaluable contributions to the field of social work as a distinguished public servant exemplified by her lifelong crusade to uplift the quality of life of the poorest and most vulnerable sectors of society.”
In filing proposed Senate Resolution 913, Senators Leila de Lima, Frank Drilon, Risa Hontiveros and Kiko Pangilinan said it is only proper to recognize Soliman’s contributions to public service and honor her exemplary work, dedication, and commitment towards combating poverty and inequality in society.
“Sec. Dinky left nothing materially but so much in the respectful affection of all who worked, dreamed and fought with her causes and advocacies. Her passing ends a chapter in the country’s civil society sector,” they said.
“Her untimely death as an exemplary public servant and social worker, the first responder on the ground and the last person to leave the disaster-stricken area, is a great loss to the Filipino people and the nation as well, particularly in this time of crisis and upheaval,” they added.
Last September 19, Soliman, who is known for her signature single-streaked hair color representing the causes she fought for, passed away at the age of 68 due to complications from renal and heart failure.
