Rep. Edward Hagedorn (3rd District, Palawan), former mayor of Puerto Princesa City, passed away Tuesday morning.
“With heavy hearts, we inform you of the passing of a beloved friend, brother, husband, father, and public servant, Edward Solon Hagedorn,” the announcement read.
Hagedorn’s initiatives as a public servant had “created inclusive spaces for the community and inspired a collective desire for change,” the post read. His legacies as a long-time leader of Puerto Princesa, now known as a popular eco-tourism destination, include its designation as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, establishment of the city baywalk, construction of the city coliseum and construction of the New City Hall, according to a post by the city government of Puerto Princesa.
In a statement, the Office of House Speaker Martin Romualdez said that Hagedorn's "passion for the environment, tourism, agriculture, and peace was not just a professional pursuit, but a reflection of his soul."
