On the Demise of Makabayan Co-Chair Maita Gomez

"We in MAKABAYAN are proud and honored that Maita gladly accepted her nomination to co-chair the coalition in 2009, and she consistently and most capably performed her duties till her unexpected demise. She never failed to speak out on the issue being discussed, and her points were always well taken - reflective of her intellectual acumen and wisdom built up from a multifaceted life and deep involvement in our people's struggle." - Satur Ocampo, MAKABAYAN President
