Execs mourn ex-legal officer’s death
BY FELIPE CELINO ROXAS City — The Provincial Board on Wednesday passed a resolution expressing sympathy to the bereaved family of a former provincial legal officer. Napoleon “Nap” Oducado died on January 31 due to a lung ailment. The resolution said the passing away of Oducado “is a great lost to the province whom he served with utmost dedication, sincerity, objectiveness and fairness in the furtherance of local governance, justice and genuine development for the people of the Capiz.” It was authored by Board member Ma. Emile Ardivilla. The resolution described Oducado as one of the “seasoned legal, political and community servant of Capiz.” He was a constant partner in the development of the province and its people through his legal expertise, unwavering zeal for public service and commitment to excellence, according to the resolution. “The family of Atty. Oducado deserves words of comfort and encouragement from this Sanggunian, which recognizes the significant contributions as former election registrar, former Provincial Board secretary, former provincial administrator, former provincial and city legal officer,” the resolution said. Oducado succumbed to a severe lung complication in the Saint Anthony College Hospital here. He was 69. He is among the known legal luminaries in this city and in the province. He served two governors — with Cornelio Villareal Jr. as provincial administrator, and with Vicente Bermejo as provincial legal officer. When Bermejo was elected mayor of this city in 2007, he made Oducado city legal officer. According to Natalie Oducado-Francisco, Oducado’s daughter, said her father had been active in legal practice, particularly on criminal and administrative cases. Born in November 6, 1941, Oducado was one of the lawyers of former dyOW Bombo Radyo station manager Herson “Boy” Hinolan who was assassinated in 2003. His remains lie in the state of his residence in Brgy. Tiza, Roxas City. Internment is yet to announced./PN |
