Rodolfo Biazon, a former senator and a former head of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, passed away on June 12, 2023, at 88.

The mayor stated that in July 2022, his father received the appropriate therapy after having a lung cancer diagnosis. But this year, he contracted pneumonia twice.

"It is perfectly fitting that today, Independence Day, at around 8:30 a.m., the soldier who dedicated his life and laid it on the line in defending freedom and democracy, has been set free from the pains of this world," In a statement, he stated.

Ruffy Biazon, the mayor of Muntinlupa, announced his father's passing.

"It is with deep sadness that we announce that the bell has rung and the last Taps has been sung for Rodolfo Gaspar Biazon," The mayor stated.

He added that "He courageously fought his last battle like a Marine would, but it is the Lord's will which prevails. The family is grateful that we were able to spend his last moments with us intimately and peacefully,"
