"Truly, hers was a life well-lived. And by her choice, it was well-lived in the service of the Filipino people. On behalf of the Senate of the Philippines, I say thank you to Senator Evangeline Estrada-Kalaw for helping build the Senate as an institution of service to the people and a pillar of democracy. She may have been born in a different era, but the values of integrity, respect for the rule of law, and dedicated service to the people that she believed in and practiced remain as relevant as ever. Tita Eva, we are here to continue your causes."
