RRD's Burial

San Carlos City, Memorial Park, Barangay Rizal March 12, 2012

                                It is ironic that former Mayor Rogelio R. Debulgado is now laid to rest in a private cemetery so near to the people he loved most, the former illegal settlers, whom he had given the opportunity to own house-and-lot for once in their simple lives. RRD's resting place is located just a walk away from Fatima Village, the relocation site he established during his epic tenure as San Carlos City Mayor. 

Flag ceremony. Mayor Gerardo Valmayor hands the Philippine Flag 

to the widow, Mrs. Victoria T. Debulgado.

Good-bye, Papa. Mrs. Debulgado with son Roel and grandkids take a final look and whisper good-bye to their patriarch, former Mayor Rogelio R. Debulgado.

Flowers and salute. A resident of Fatima Village showers the funeral car and its way with petals  while policemen render their salute to the former local chief executive who served San Carlos City for more than a decade.

Going against the flow. San Carlos City Policemen surround Daniel Abeles, 41, who drove headlong into the lines of police on motorcycles that lead the funeral procession.
