In a moving moment during his wife's funeral, Luis Malanyaon Jr., clad in white, was overwhelmed with awe as a vibrant butterfly gracefully descended and gently settled on his chest.
DAVAO ORIENTAL, Philippines – Governor Corazon Malanyaon, who had run unopposed in three elections for governor of Davao Oriental, was laid to rest on Friday afternoon, July 7, in Davao City.
The late governor was given the traditional gun salute to honor and pay tribute to her service and contribution during the funeral. Despite his marriage to the politically influential Corazon, Luis remained humble and rarely sought the limelight, preferring a more understated presence. Appointed by Marcos Jr. last year to lead the Davao Regional Development Council, Malanyaon was widely recognized as a visionary leader who promoted national and local government convergence.
Her niece, Mayor Emilou Nunez of Cateel town, reflected on her aunt’s upbringing and cited her determination and dedication to excellence. Malanyaon died on June 28 in a Davao hospital
