Palawan 3rd District Rep. Edward Hagedorn, who also served as long-time mayor of Puerto Princesa, died on Tuesday. He was 76 years old.
His office made the announcement through his official Facebook page but did not specify the cause of death.
Last February, Hagedorn revealed during an event that he was diagnosed with cancer. Palawan News later reported that it was pancreatic cancer. “Cong. Ed's life speaks volumes, particularly in his role as a champion for the environment, tourism, agriculture, and peace and order. His efforts created inclusive spaces for the community and inspired a collective desire for change. It's hard not to be infected by his energy and laughter, which he freely shares with everyone he encounters,” it wrote.
Hagedorn joined the senatorial race in the 2013 polls but lost. He was elected congressional representative of Palawan in 2022.
