OFW Party-list Rep. Marissa Magsino on Wednesday filed a resolution expressing the profound sympathy of the House of Representatives on
the death of Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Maria Susana “Toots” V. Ople, and honor the legacy of the service she has left behind.
To further cement her advocacy, Ople founded the Blas Ople Policy Center – in honor of her late father, former Labor Minister and Senator Blas Ople – which assists distressed OFWs in various parts of the world, and co-anchored the popular daily radio shows Bantay OFW and Global Pinoy. HR 1215 said Ople’s untimely demise is a great loss to the Filipino people and to the thousands of lives she touched in her long and illustrious career as an advocate of social justice, as a dedicated public servant, and as a champion of Filipino migrant workers.
The Department of National Defense meanwhile expressed its condolences to Ople’s family and friends.
