A bronze-plated bust of the late Bicolano statesman, former Senator Raul S. Roco, was unveiled and dedicated to honor his memory and legacy.
In a fitting ceremony held on March 21, 2023, the artwork was installed inside the Raul S. Roco Library and Museum inside the Naga City Hall Complex. The bust was commissioned by Stronghold Insurance, and sculpted by Prof. Manolo Sicat of the UP College of Fine Arts.

In his words, Mr. Romulo I. delos Reyes Jr., President & General Manager of Stronghold, declared that Stronghold is “truly grateful to honor the friendship of the two best of friends, and perpetuate the legacy of the great son of Naga City and the pride of Bicol Region….
The ceremony was attended by the local government executives and distinguished friends and admirers of the late senator which included foreign guests. Mayor Nelson S. Legacion of Naga City was represented by City Administrator Elmer Baldemoro who delivered a message citing the late senator’s contributions to our nation-building and the tremendous honors he brought to his people.
