MANILA – Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar offered condolences to the family and friends of former Press Undersecretary Robert “Bobby” Capco who passed away on Saturday (Sept. 4).

“We extend our deepest condolences to the family, loved ones, colleagues, and friends on the passing of former Press Undersecretary Robert “Bobby” Capco,” Andanar said in a statement on Sunday.

He also extended prayers for the repose of the former press undersecretary’s soul.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. We pray for the eternal repose of his soul,” he added.

Andanar described Capco as “a journalist through and through.”
