In Memoriam: Carlos Polestico Garcia, the Most Illustrious Son of Bohol, the Eighth President of the Philippines. November 4, 1896 – June 14, 1971.
#OnThisDay June 14, 1971 Carlos P. Garcia succumbed to heart failure at 5:57 p.m., at his Bohol Avenue residence in Quezon City.
Dr. Antonio Guytingco, personal physician of the President was summoned. However, former President Garcia already died when the physician arrived. The nation mourned, Boholanos grieved for the great loss of their leader. He died in the highest service to the nation, presiding over the sovereign effort to rewrite a Filipino Constitution for the Filipino people. On his death, the Filipino nation lost a true statesman and leader, a Filipino whose greatest passion concerned, first and last, the well-being of the Filipino nation.
On June 18, 1971, CPG’s remains were taken by helicopter to Bohol. Necrological services, in his honor, were rendered in the City of Tagbilaran on June 19, 1971. The remains were brought back to Manila where President Carlos P. Garcia was interred at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, his final resting place.
