CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Former assemblyman and Mayor Reuben Canoy, the voice behind the longest running political commentary “Perspective,” died Tuesday night in one of the hospitals here. He was 93 years old.His daughter Rhona announced his passing on her Facebook page Tuesday night.
He was thrust to the national limelight when he emerged as the lone opposition candidate to win in the interim Batasang Pambansa elections called by the late President Ferdinand Marcos on April 7, 1978. The Batasang Pambansa was a unicameral legislature instituted under the 1973 Constitution promulgated by Marcos Sr. replacing the bicameral Congress, but was immediately abolished after the People Power Revolution in 1986.
His political mettle was tested when the police arrested 30 students during a protest rally in downtown Divisoria. His opening spiel, “Ang lungsod nga nasayod makahatag og kusog sa demokrasya, apan ang lungsod nga mapasagaron makapukan sa atong kagawasan” , was listened to by thousands of followers in Mindanao and Visayas.
The government alleged that Canoy was supposed to proclaim the Federal Republic of Mindanao comprising Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan, and break away from the Philippines.
