Pumanaw si Bocaue, Bulacan Mayor Joni Villanueva-Tugna bandang 5:08, Huwebes ng hapon (May 28).
Sa inilabas na pahayag ng Executive Management Board ng Jesus Is Lord Church, pumanaw ang alkalde bunsod ng sepsis secondary to bacterial pneumonia.
Maliban sa pagiging alkalde, si Villanueva ay Executive Director ng JIL.
“As shocking as it is, we trust in God’s wisdom and sovereignty and believe that Mayor Joni is now at the best place in the world: in the arms of our Lord,” pahayag pa ng JIL.
Humiling din ang JIL ng panalangin para buong pamilya Villanueva na nagluluksa sa pagpanaw ng alkalde.
“While we grieve her passing, let us also not forget to keep praying for the whole Villanueva family as they go through this emotional ordeal. Let us keep covering them in our prayers and seek God’s comforting hand to be upon them now more than ever before,” pahayag ng JIL.
Si Mayor Joni ay nakababatang kapatid ni Senator Joel Villanueva at asawa ni dating Cibac Partylist representative Sherwin Tugna.
