Nagbalik sa Senado si dating Senator Victor S. Ziga na abo na lamang, ngunit sinariwa pa ng kanyang mga kasabayang nanilbihan bilang mambabatas ang kanyang naiambag sa pagpapanday ng mga batas sa bansa.
Binigyan ng arrival honors sa pangunguna ni Senate President Vicente Sotto III ang abo ni Ziga kasama ang pamilya nito.
Iprinisinta din ni Sotto sa naulilang pamilya ang Senate Resolution No. 84 na nagpapahayag ng pakikiramay ng Senado sa pagkamatay ng dating senador.
Naging miyembro ng Senado si Ziga mula 1997 hanggang 1992.
“When the pages of our history would be reviewed by the coming generations of students and the public, they would be convinced that there was a man who did his work quietly and without fanfare and pomposity but only the best interest of his country,” sabi ni Sotto.
Inalala naman ni Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri ang mga batas na naipasa ni Ziga tulad ng Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education, the Local Government Code of 1991, and the Magna Carta of Public Health Workers.
“Sen. Victor Ziga was a doer through and through; a workhorse who got things done without needing much fanfare. Instead his legacy persists through the work he has left behind… Even beyond his political career, he devoted himself to helping the Filipino in any way he could–medical missions, relief operations, emergency response,” aniya.
Naalala naman ni Minority Leader Frank Drilon ang pagiging simple ni Ziga na aniya ay lumaki sa pagsisilbi sa kapwa.
“I did not have the honor to work with Vic (Ziga) in this august chamber, but I consider it a distinct privilege to have worked with him in the Liberal Party (LP). Sen. Ziga as well as his mother, former Sen. Tecla San Andres Ziga, were stalwarts of the LP,” ayon kay Drilon.
Ilan pa sa mga nagbigay ng kanilang mensahe sina Sens. Sherwin Gatchalian, Manny Pacquiao, Christopher Go at dating Sen. Joey Lina.
