The Philippines top political figures joined the world in mourning over the death of former Japan Prime Minster Shinzo Abe whom they called a friend of the country and great leader.
Expressing shock and deep sadness, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. offered his sympathies to the Abe's family and the Japanese nation.
"Mr. Abe was a visionary leader who saw Japan through its most difficult times. He was a devoted friend and a supporter of the Philippines, and it was during his leadership that the Philippine-Japan relations truly flourished," Marcos said. "The decisive and effective assistance he extended to the Philippines and the warmth he demonstrated in the numerous visits he made to our country will never be forgotten, and will be written as one of the most exceptional periods in our bilateral history," he added.
Vice President Sara Duterte said Abe's death was "a shocking tragedy that exposes the dark side of humanity.""He was a strong ally and a friend of the Philippines, and the immensity of his love and kindness for the Filipinos has been demonstrated many times over through Japan’s support for our growth and development," she added.
