Prospero S. Amatong, 77

Posted On Saturday, May 16, 2009 at at 10:50 PM by TAGABUNGTOD  

Two days ago, text messages were flying around informing that former Congressman Prospero S. Amatong was hospitalized becaue of a bad fall while strolling in a New York park where he was vacationing with his family. I just got back from General Santos City when I got this sad message from good friend and fellow-tagabungtod, Mayor Rey B. Navarro, of Laak, Compostela Valley.


His short but catchy text message says it all about the long and significant political career of a pioneering tagabungtod:

The great man who "ENGINEERed" the "PROSPEROus" province of Davao del Norte, "FATHERed" Compostela Valley's creation and made the distinction as the only undefeated councilor, mayor, governor and congressman in this part of the country returned to his CREATOR this morning. Join me in praying for the eternal repose of the soul of HON. PROSPERO S. AMATONG.

    Governor Amatong, a hands-on, honest manager, served his constituents with utmost dedication and commitment. He will be sadly missed but fondly remembered.

    Daghan kaayong salamat Gov.

    To Ma'am Amatong and family, may your thoughts turn to all that endures, hope and grace and above all love.

    God bless you.
