Ipinaabot ng House of Representatives ang pakikiramay sa naiwang pamilya at constituent ni Nueva Vizcaya Gov. Carlos Padilla.
Sa isang pahayag, sinabi ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez na kaisa ng Kamara sa pagdadalamhati ang mga taga Nueva Vizcaya at pamilya Padilla sa pagpanaw ng gobernador na dati rin nilang kasamahan sa Mababang Kapulungan.
“Our deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with them, especially his wife, former Gov. Ruth Padilla, and his children – Carlos ‘Jojo’ II, Ruthie Maye and Carlo Paolo, and his grandchildren – at this difficult time of grief and mourning. We will always remember Gov. Carling Padilla as a great leader of his province and a humble colleague in the House of Representatives. He was always soft-spoken, non-combative, unobtrusive, level-headed,” saad ni Romualdez.
