Statement of Speaker Lord Allan Velasco on the demise of Fr. Joaquin Bernas, S.J.

We join the rest of the country in mourning the passing of Fr. Joaquin G. Bernas, S.J., a recognized authority in constitutional law and a legal icon.

With his demise, the nation has lost one of its most respected legal luminaries and a sharp mind, who knew the intricacies of constitutional law like none other.

As we remember the life of Fr. Bernas, may we reflect on his indelible legacy and remarkable contributions to Philippine law and jurisprudence.
